Mentorship for Retreat Leaders and Practitioners
Hosting a retreat is a beautiful calling, and it also asks a lot of you, from designing an experience that feels safe and meaningful to handling pricing, venues, marketing and every practical detail in between. I’m Veronica Mirzac, founder of Reconnect Retreats, and after about five years of creating and leading trauma-informed women’s retreats at Sharbot Lake, I offer 1:1 mentorship for coaches, practitioners, therapists and aspiring facilitators who want to build retreats of their own.
Whether you’re dreaming about your first retreat or refining one you already run, mentorship gives you an experienced person to think things through with, so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence.
What We Can Work On Together
- Designing a retreat flow that feels safe, embodied and meaningful
- Trauma-informed facilitation and holding space for a group
- Pricing, packages and what to include
- Finding and working with venues, chefs and accommodation
- How we’ve structured bookings to work with Ontario’s TICO requirements
- Marketing your retreat and filling your spots
- Contracts, policies, logistics and operations
- Building your confidence as a facilitator
This Mentorship Is for You If
- You feel called to guide healing experiences for groups
- You want to build a retreat business that is sustainable as well as heartfelt
- You’d like your work to be trauma-informed from the very start
- You want guidance and accountability from someone who has done it
How It Works
- A free discovery call where we talk about where you are, what you’re creating and whether mentorship is a good fit.
- Your plan, where we set priorities together, whether that’s designing your first retreat, pricing, marketing or your facilitation skills.
- 1:1 sessions held on Zoom, each focused on your questions and the next practical steps.
- Ongoing support as you put things into practice, so you’re never figuring it out alone.
Pricing
Mentorship is personalized, so pricing depends on how many sessions you’d like and the kind of support you need. Book a discovery call and I’ll share the options that fit where you are.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a therapist or a coach?
No, mentorship is open to anyone who feels called to lead retreats, including coaches, yoga teachers, therapists, wellness practitioners and people who are just starting out.
Can you help if I’ve already run retreats?
Yes, many facilitators come to mentorship to refine a retreat they already offer, rethink how it’s priced or marketed, or deepen the way they hold space for their groups.
Is this a certification program?
It isn’t a certification program at this stage, since mentorship is personalized 1:1 support, although it may grow into one in the future.
