In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Dickinson, founder of Orion Retreats, to discuss the evolving world of conscious travel and how retreats can truly transform lives when thoughtfully designed. 🌍✨ We explore:

• Creating Retreats with Integration and Balance 🌱: Why leaving space in the schedule can make a retreat experience even more impactful—and how the real "magic" often happens in those quiet, unplanned moments.

• Profitability and Fair Pricing 💰: Many retreat leaders underprice their offerings, leading to burnout. Lauren shares why it’s essential to price sustainably, covering everything from participant fees to compensating yourself fairly as a facilitator.

• Tapping into the Conscious Travel Market 🌐: Did you know 89% of travelers seek experiences that combine personal growth with cultural immersion? Lauren explains how "conscious travel" appeals to this emerging market and is much more than traditional wellness.

• Sales & Marketing 📈: Selling your own retreats may feel daunting, but it's vital for aligning with your ideal clients. We discuss strategies for building collaborative networks, handling sales personally, and understanding the corporate retreat niche.

Ready to dive into a fresh perspective on creating retreats that are impactful, profitable, and deeply transformative? Join us for this enlightening conversation with Lauren!
