Retreat Venue Must-Haves
All retreat centers come with a unique style and set of amenities. Keep the following elements in mind when searching for the right retreat venue.
Does the venue match your desired atmosphere? The perfect location featuring views of rolling hills is ideal when focusing on people's well-being during a yoga retreat, but may not be suited to corporate retreats. An office space in a skyscraper may be the perfect setting for your business meetings during your social event.
Is the retreat in a convenient location? Find a retreat center close by for all those invited to facilitate travel. The best retreat venues are the ones everyone can easily get to. If everyone is driving, make sure there are enough parking spaces for everyone.
Does it provide all of the amenities your team requires? Consider the goals of your group retreat and make sure that your venue can foster that. Look into camps in the wilderness for some peace during your meditation. Perhaps the ideal setting is a warm, wood-paneled conference room available for all of your meetings.
How to Plan a Fabulous Retreat
When looking to plan your next retreat, you want to be sure that you're creating a well-planned social event. Beyond finding the perfect space, be on the lookout for all of the little details that make an event successful.
Have Your Activities Planned – Wherever your retreat is located, an important factor is the activities. Plan for a group meditation at a yoga camp or focus on the business matters at hand in a secluded office space.
Set your Budget – Be sure to do your research ahead of time and know what you're getting yourself into. Conferences, corporate events, and team bonding events can be expensive if there is a lack of planning. Rather than leaving the details to the week of, make sure you start planning early with the budget as a great jumping-off point.
Consider Accessibility – You want each person to have easy access to your retreat location. Make sure to take travel times into account. There may be beautiful camps that offer creative inspiration for your event, but if it's too far away for your participants, it's not feasible.
Establish a Positive Atmosphere – Whether you're planning a retreat for youth groups or a more mature crowd, it's important to keep aware of the atmosphere you're trying to create. Amenities and the right space can encourage either a relaxing setting or a party vibe, depending on how you present it as the host. Think of all the benefits of selecting a venue to suit the expectations of your invitees.
Retreat Expenses to Plan For
While Giggster has an array of affordable venues, hosting a retreat can still be expensive. The last thing you need is last-minute surprises. Make sure to consider the following factors in your budgeting process.
When will the retreat take place?
Can you be flexible with dates? A well-planned excursion away from the hustle and bustle of life is typically welcomed any time of year. Plan seasonal activities outside that don't always cost a lot to run, such as games and hikes. Follow up with meaningful indoor sessions.
Can the participants share rooms?
Whether it's retreat leaders, yoga teachers, or attendees, determine if room sharing will work. Many popular retreat locations are based on room sharing. However, events such as silent retreats require single rooms, which means booking a larger venue and paying a higher price.
Budget for the payment of staff attending.
When hosting a corporate retreat for your employees, you must factor their salaries into your budgeting. You want to ensure your staff is compensated for their time at the retreat. This is something to keep in mind as opposed to a paying retreat with guests who have paid a fee to attend.
