Just What The Title Says It Is

This is a very tight and informative outline, detailing how to conceive of, market, run and follow-up from hosting your (first) transformational retreat. If after investing two well-spent hours reviewing the content of this audiobook, you need more information, Jamail does make available a paid course with greater detail on this subject. This never feels like a sales pitch. Thank you, Jamail!

Retreat 101 guide

Good information, and she was dehydrated.

She was dehydrated when she read the book. It would be nice to have a PDF with all of her information on it. Overall the book had a lot of great ideas. I just felt terrible her lips were cracking when she spoke the whole time.

Best overall advice

I’ve spent time & money on training with 3 other retreat experts in anticipation of hosting my first one next year. While I picked up tips from each, this playbook is hands down the best and most comprehensive I’ve found.
