The Unexpected Spiritual Growth That Comes From Hosting Retreats - Retreat Coaching | Retreat Training | Retreat Programs | Wanderlust Entrepreneur | Sheri Rosenthal

When you think you’re leading others… your retreat ends up leading you! 

You think you’re planning a retreat to serve your people.
To create transformation.
To offer space for healing and growth.

And you are. But here’s the soul truth no one tells you:
Your retreat is also working on you.

Behind the logistics, the sales pages, the contracts, and the beautifully curated meals… a deeper process unfolds.

One you didn’t sign up for – but definitely needed. One that whispers: “You’re going to grow too. Ready or not.”

When your Retreat Mirrors You

Hosting a retreat is like holding up a big cosmic mirror. Everything you still need to look at will make itself known – loudly and clearly.

  • Got limiting beliefs about money?
    Try pricing your retreat in a way that actually honors your value… and feel the resistance rise.
  • Fear of visibility?
    Watch how you shrink when it’s time to show up online and sell your magic.
  • Boundary issues?
    Wait ‘til someone tries to push past your cancellation policy, or acts up during your retreat and questions your authority.
  • Still seeking validation?
    Feel how much your worth gets tied up in how quickly people sign up (or don’t).
  • Unhealed conflict patterns?
    Hello, challenging participant. Welcome to the altar of grace and growth.

It’s wild, right?

Every part of hosting a retreat becomes a reflection of where you are and what still needs tending. It doesn’t mean anything’s wrong with you – it just means you’re in the fire. And the fire is holy.

Standing in Your Power… Softly

💯Retreats teach you the art of standing in your power while still keeping your heart wide open.

They ask you to be a leader – not a martyr or a victim.
To guide without controlling.
To hold the vision while releasing the outcome.
To love your people without sacrificing your own boundaries or energy.

And those are not small lessons. That’s spiritual growth in motion.

The Sacred Dance of Holding Space

Let’s not forget the quiet moments…

  • When you look around the room and see someone having a breakthrough, and your heart cracks wide open…💖
  • When the group drops in together and time stops, and you realize this is what you were born for…
  • When someone tells you that your retreat changed their life – and you have to take a breath, because deep down, it changed yours too.

Sheri’s Final Thoughts

You can read every book, take every course, do all the mindset work in the world…

But there’s something about hosting a retreat – putting yourself on the line, standing as a lighthouse for others – that initiates you in a way nothing else can.

So if you’re feeling the nudge to lead retreats, know this: you’re not just leading others…

You’re saying YES to your own personal and spiritual evolution.

And that IS holy work. Don’t you think so?
