Yup, there are plenty of folks teaching about retreats out there. But ask – how many international retreats have they designed and planned? Just because someone has RUN a few retreats – that does NOT make them an expert!
Through our travel company, Journeys of the Spirit, we have planned and managed over a thousand retreats – and we’ve educated thousands of retreat leaders through our Retreat Blueprint Programs.
We know what it takes to launch a successful and lucrative transformational retreat that’s deeply life-changing. We know the law. We know the problems that can arise on a retreat.
OUR MISSION IS: For you to design, price, market, sell-out, and monetize a retreat that makes you a profit of at least $10K so that you can travel the world (if you want to!), transform lives in a huge way, give back and be of service, and have the income you desire from the expertise that you share. Are you in?
Here’s what you’ll learn…
Week One – Retreat Foundations
In this module, you’ll learn how to design a retreat that’s truly a retreat – transformational, spacious, and unforgettable – by aligning your theme, location, activities, and schedule so the experience teaches as powerfully as you do. You’ll also set yourself up for success with the essential planning systems and business foundations that make selling, running, and repeating profitable retreats feel simple and doable.
You’ll learn how to:
- Define what makes a true retreat (vs. a workshop in a pretty place) and design for rest, integration, and full-body learning.
- Use your location as a “co-facilitator” to deepen the theme, create meaning, and boost the wow factor.
- Choose the right group size and retreat length based on your capacity, your audience, and travel logistics.
- Build an intentional schedule that balances teaching, downtime, experiential activities, and memorable “lagniappe” extras.
- Put the behind-the-scenes essentials in place – support roles, safety considerations, planning checklists, and the business systems needed to market, enroll, collect payments, and run your retreat smoothly.
Week Two – Find Your Tribe
In this section we’ll be discovering who your ideal client is, what you are teaching them, and how to ensure that you’re delivering value so they’ll want to register for your retreat!
We’re going to explore:
- Nailing down who you want to work with on your retreats, their pain points, and what problem you solve for them so they know your retreat is for them.
- Wording the benefits of coming on your retreat so you excite your audience and have them signing up by the bottom of your trip page!
- Making sure you have a clear title for your retreat – one that tells your tribe exactly what they’re going to walk away with.
- How to improve your copywriting skills and build value on your retreat trip page so folks want to pay you whatever you’re charging for your retreat.
- Laying out your retreat itinerary day-by-day to create that transformational experience.
Week Three – Pricing it Right!
Pricing your retreat correctly is bar none the most important and critical factor in making the kind of revenue you deserve from your retreat. You can’t afford to miss this module!
You’ll learn:
- The PROPER formula for pricing your event’s expenses and figuring out your net revenue the correct way (so you don’t LOSE moola and make what you’re worth)!
- How to gain the courage and confidence to charge what you are truly worth and not worry about folks saying “no” to your retreat pricing.
- The exact script to use to contact your venue and negotiate your contract so you’ll sound like a pro.
- Creating your cancellation policy (this is critical legally!).
- How to make moola long after your retreat is over so you’re not constantly struggling to find clients!
Week Four – Sales Page Magic
You’ve priced your retreat properly – so let’s make sure it sells out! This module is about crafting a high-converting retreat page that turns browsers into booked guests! A weak trip page = empty spots. So let’s make yours irresistible!
You’ll learn:
- Why retreat marketing is different – and how to do it right.
- Ways to grow your tribe so you’ll have eager, ready-to-register clients who you can promote your retreat to.
- Our proven templates for creating a retreat trip page to sell your retreat and to protect yourself (including what NOT to include if you want your retreat to fill).
- How to create scintillating copy that inspires & sells!
Week Five – Sell Out Your Retreats!
It’s time to put the word out and fill your retreat with ease! This module is about smart, retreat-specific promotions that keeps your retreats (and business) thriving year-round.
You’ll learn:
- Proven strategies for promoting your retreat – beyond just “posting” about your retreat.
- Using Joint Venture Partnerships to grow your list & fill your retreats.
- Tips on getting your retreat to fill if you’re feeling stuck.
- Learn how to use a promotional calendar for marketing.
- No more struggling to find participants – this is how you fill your retreats with ease!
Week Six – Legalities & Business Basics
You can design the greatest event but what about the LEGALITIES? Do you have the proper insurances to protect you? And are you using the proper forms that cover you? We hope so!
We’ll cover:
- Professional Liability Ins.(are you coaching without this? I hope not) & General Liability Ins. (when do you need this?).
- Trip Cancellation + Medical Ins. (you never know what’s going to happen.What is Seller of Travel and how it applies to you (you may be operating illegally without realizing it).
- The crucial liability forms for your trip (this is worth the entire program tuition)!
- We’ll dive into liability forms and tell you the key phrases that need to be in your forms – since waivers are not appropriate.
- How having a corporate business structure, visas and tax knowledge can help protect you!

Thank you so much for your support!

Sheri, I’ve got questions…
What is Retreats Made Easy?
The program focuses on practical execution—helping you create a retreat concept, develop your offer, build a credible plan, and move into promotion with confidence and clear next steps.
Who exactly is this course for? Newbies?
I don't plan on creating a retreat for at least year. Can't I wait until then?
Can I access all the modules as soon as I sign up?
To keep you on track, the course modules open weekly until by the sixth week – all are open. We prefer you don’t skip around the program, and once you begin you’ll understand why. If you have extraordinary circumstances that require access to information that is in a later module let us know and we will do our best to work with you on this.
I want to know why this program is so special!
Simple. This is the most inclusive program for folks who are just starting out planning retreats and who need all the critical basics for creating a retreat while they are still building their business. Sure there are a couple of courses out there that teach how to create and fill a retreat but we don’t even consider them competition. Why? Well most folks who are teaching about retreats have only run a few of them or have done so for only a couple of years.
Would you rather be a newbie learning from another newbie OR – would you rather train with people who have been in the business of retreat management since 2003 (through my travel company, Journeys of the Spirit), and a team of coaches that have been running retreats for around 22 years?
At Wanderlust Entrepreneur, we’ve been training retreat leaders since 2014 and we have seen it all – literally! We’ve seen practically ever kind of retreat you can imagine, as well as every kind of problem you would want to avoid.
So it’s your choice whether you want to buy a cheap program or train from the best. I can promise you that you’ll make up the cost of our program in the money we’ll save you in costly mistakes and missing information from the other programs out there.
What if I fall behind?
No problem! We know everyone has a busy schedule. Keep in mind that you have forever access to the online part of the program and THREE months of access to our private Facebook group where you will be posting your homework for us to review and give you feedback on.
If by some chance you do not complete the program and submit your homework in the FB group within the three month time person, there is an option to extend your time in the Facebook group for an additional three or six months for an extra charge. Our goal is to have you complete the program and actually launch and sell out your retreat and to do that – we do need your participation.
It's just me. Can I plan a retreat all on my own?
Who is this program for, and who is it not for?
Does this program help me design what I will teach and how my retreat will flow?
Does Retreats Made Easy cover pricing and budgeting?
Does Retreats Made Easy help with marketing and promotion?
Is this program self-paced or live?
Do I need to have a venue booked before joining?
PAID FOR PROGRAM IN 4 WEEKS, QUADRUPLED INCOME + $58,000 FROM RETREAT!
Before taking Retreats Made Easy, I had a small client list and didn’t know how to align my business with my retreats.
My business has experienced significant growth and not just on retreats – I’ve quadrupled my income in a year! And just 4 weeks after completing the program, I had already paid for the program fee with new clients.
This is a NO-BRAINER, DON’T WAIT, REGISTER NOW opportunity!
I’m Sheri Rosenthal, and I’m a certified retreat junkie.
Back in 1999, I was stuck in a life that didn’t fulfill me – stressed out as a podiatrist (foot doctor), exhausted, and craving more freedom. Finally, I took a leap of faith – I sold my practice, let go of everything I owned, and went on my first retreat to Teotihuacan, Mexico with don Miguel Ruiz, author of “The Four Agreements.” That one experience changed everything.
Not only did I find clarity and purpose, but I also became a dedicated student of don Miguel, running his retreats, workshops, and business. That’s when I realized the power of retreats – not just for transformation but also as a sustainable, thriving business model.
Now I just want to digress from my story for a moment to point out something extremely critical to you about the power of retreats. I want you to understand that from that one initial retreat don Miguel gained a student for 8 years who attended every workshop, program, and retreat that he created.
Think about that for a second from a business perspective – I easily spent around $75,000 on follow up programs with him over the following 8 years and I would do that again in a skinny minute for the changes it made in my life!
Now multiply that by all the other participants on that retreat who continued to work with him too – and there were around 50 on that trip, so that added millions of dollars to his bottom line over the following years! (And we want the same for you!)
Fast forward: I’ve spent the past 25+ years helping over 15,000 retreat leaders design and fill their dream retreats through my coaching company, Wanderlust Entrepreneur – and I’ve planned and managed over 1000 retreats worldwide through my boutique travel agency, Journeys of the Spirit.
I’ve seen firsthand how retreats create lasting impact – both for participants and retreat leaders.
That’s why I created the Retreats Made Easy – to help heart-centered entrepreneurs like YOU avoid costly mistakes, fill your retreats with ease, and build a profitable, transformational retreat business.
With this program, our students have:
✅ Added tens of thousands of dollars to their income
✅ Sold out their retreats for the first time ever
✅ Doubled the number of attendees on their retreats
In Retreats Made Easy…
