The Retreat Leader Hangover🤯
The Retreat Leader Hangover is the physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that can come after leading a retreat. Retreat leaders often give so much energy to their participants that they forget to plan for their own recovery. Building in an extra night, protecting the first day home, delegating post-retreat tasks, reflecting on the experience, and celebrating the accomplishment can help leaders recover and integrate. Sustainable retreat leadership means making leader care just as important as participant care.
