Guide • Retreat host

Write a strong retreat description

A structure that turns viewers into bookings — opening hook, daily flow, outcomes.

A strong description turns viewers into bookings. Most retreat descriptions fail because they describe the host's process instead of the guest's outcome.

A structure that converts

  1. Hook (1 sentence)

    — who this retreat is for, what they'll take away.

  2. What happens

    — describe a typical day in concrete terms.

  3. Who it's for

    — beginner vs. experienced, solo vs. couple, age range.

  4. What guests leave with

    — outcomes, not modalities.

  5. The venue

    — location, setting, accommodation feel.

  6. Optional: who runs it

    — the host(s) and their style.

Anti-patterns

  • Generic claims ("transform your life", "find your true self") with no specifics.

  • Lists of modalities and credentials before any context about the retreat itself.

  • Walls of text without subheadings — guests skim.

Word count

Aim 400–800 words. Below 200 reads thin; above 1,000 loses people.
