The best time to learn how to create and host retreats in your business was yesterday. The next best time is today!
If we've learned anything from this post-pandemic era and mind-numbing digital/virtual space, everyone is over Zoom and online experiences.
Customers and clients today are craving real, in-person connection with their favorite products and brands.
The fact is, entrepreneurs who master the art of creating successful retreats and live events will be at an absolute advantage. I want to give YOU the shortcut.
If you're dreaming of creating a high-impact retreat that grows your credibility, increase revenue, and next-level brand loyalty...this program is for you!
THE TRUTH IS...
Most people who try to create retreats struggle to succeed.
HERE'S A FEW OF THE REASONS WHY MOST RETREATS AND LIVE EVENTS AREN'T "SUCCESSFUL"...
1.
You try to create a retreat by copying another retreat or conference you saw someone else do which leads to mismanaged expectations. You don't have the right foundation or strategy in place to make it a success.
2.
You waste all kinds of time and money on the wrong things --going over budget, leaving you with zero profitability, and feeling like all this effort and energy had little to no payoff.
3.
You underestimate the skill involved to delight from start to finish. As a result, you don't get any compelling testimonials, or you don't increase desire to continue working with you. (And...you probably even forgot about offering an upsell beyond the retreat because your to-do list was completely overwhelming).

3.
People underestimate the skill involved with delighting attendees from start to finish. As a result, attendees skip leaving you any kind of compelling testimonials, or no longer have a desire to continue working with you. (And...you probably even forgot about offering them something beyond the retreat anyway because your to-do list was completely overwhelming).
THE GOOD NEWS?
YOU CAN SET YOUR EVENT UP FOR SUCCESS FROM DAY ONE.
You can create a successful retreat experience without overwhelm -or- going over budget.
I HAVE THE WHOLE BLUEPRINT RIGHT HERE AND READY FOR YOU!
"I would not want to learn retreats from anyone else!"
- Dallas Stringfellow
IF WE HAVEN't MET YET...
Hi, I'm Amber Housley,
Retreat and Live Event Expert
(YEs, it's true. I really do have a self-proclaimed retreat mba).
The fact is... I've attended, spoken at, or planned over 60+ retreats, conferences and workshops.
As an entrepreneur since 2007, I've experienced much in my time. I now gladly share how I built my multiple six to seven figure businesses on the foundations I learned at in-person retreats and educational experiences.
And after logging a lot of air miles and racking up all the fancy name badge lanyards as an attendee...
I've learned what does and doesn't work in the retreat and conference education space.
In the months leading up to some of the events I would attend, I'd be lost and confused with buyers remorse because the organizer failed to share any details to help us prepare.
Other times, I'd leave feeling overwhelmed with a longer to-do list than I arrived with. Or worse than that — disappointed and regretful of the money I spent. (Not to mention what I was missing back home with my family and young kids).
So I set out to create something different for the customers in my own coaching business and for other product and service-based businesses along the way.
Building upon my decades of event planning — everything from corporate events on glittering rooftop casinos in Las Vegas to luxury Southern wedding soirees that graced many a magazine page — I developed my own transformational retreats that delight attendees every step of the way.
To date, I have hosted over 500+ women in the last 12 years at 24 different experiences. Word spread like wildflowers about our unique combination of content and creativity alongside an up-leveled attendee (and speaker) experience that Brit+Co named my Inspired Retreat one of the best conferences for women.
I've designed and executed large scale conferences and events for both me and my premium clients that have led to multiple six-figure revenue sales.
Now it's your turn...
Are you ready to make an impact and create next-level transformation for your customers through live retreat event experiences?
Meet me on the front porch to learn how to
stop retreat dreaming and
start retreat doing. 🙌🏼

"The feedback I had from my first retreat was wonderful and I know it was because I had a plan!"
I had previously been told by business coaches that while running a retreat is a good connection point to your audience, you can't make money. After going through Invite & Delight I learned you can make a profit, how to market my retreat, and all of the small details that people notice and will make them want to come back year after year.
If you don't know where to start but want to run a retreat, I highly recommend this program!
- Andrea Claassen
I cannot say enough about how instrumental the Invite & Delight course was in helping me launch and turn one of my biggest dreams into a reality. I’ve got people on the waitlist for next year!
I am so excited to share that I hosted my first retreat and I could not have done it without the comprehensive resources provided in the Invite and Delight course. The office hours were helpful to hear Amber think through and respond to our questions. Being able to dive into the course resources every step of the way of planning my own retreat was invaluable. To have actual examples of spreadsheets, emails, planning tools, eliminated so much angst and answered so many questions. At times I took the resources available and used them as is, and other times I made modifications to fit my needs.
- Faith Marie
There are two reasons you’re here:

This program is perfect for those who have an understanding of retreat planning and simply need help with the systems, processes and strategy to create a successful retreat.
🌟 You want to start hosting retreats for your business but have no idea where to begin. You want to make sure you’re successful from the start. You’re a hard worker who just needs the direction to pull it all together. This program is great for beginners if you are ready to dive-in and put all of the resources to work.
This program is for everyone from the beginning retreat leader to the most experienced one!

Real People + Real Results
DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Julie Stoian & Cathy Olson
“There's no way we would've pulled off our Marketer's Heart event without Amber's expertise, skill and experience at designing epic and personalized events.”
She's thought of so many things that we would never have thought of. She showed us how to add finishing touches and details that really made the event attendees feel loved and special. If you are putting on event, I would highly recommend that you leverage Amber's experience in whatever way you can get it. Run, don't walk to Amber's Invite & Delight program, because it made all the difference for us.

“We're already sold out for next retreat!”
Your help in bringing our P.I.N.K. Creatives Retreat to life was amazing and made our retreat go so smooth. The participants were highly engaged and everybody really loved it. In fact, they were begging us to do a part two retreat! If you have not thought about doing a retreat for your business, you should! It is so meaningful, affirming, and wonderful to see how you can help other people. Thank you Amber for your guidance. I really was not exhausted by having to do the retreat at all but instead found it really fun and exciting. We can't wait to do it again!

YOU've GOT QUESTIONS? I'VE GOT ANSWERS!
Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t have any event planning experience or never planned a retreat before, can I do this?
Yes, you can! If you have a business and client base you are currently selling services or products to, you are primed for this opportunity. With my more than two decades of event experience, having attended more than 60+ retreats/workshops/conferences and hosted my own for more than 12 years, I know the ins and outs of all things retreats – and I’ll be your guide every step of the way.
I’m already planning a retreat this summer/fall/winter, will this help me?
Yes! And here’s why. While you may have sold some seats already, that is just one piece of your retreat. There is so much I go into about how to plan your content you’ll deliver, how to give a high-touch experience to your attendees even before they walk through your doors, how to prepare as a host for yourself mentally and physically, how to sell continuity offers, and all the special details that you’ll want to invest in (or even skip). There’s even SO MUCH more than what I’ve listed – so just know that you have an incredible opportunity to make an impact even if you have an existing event underway.
When do we get started?
After enrollment, you’ll get login access to the course platform and have immediate access to the program. You can login to get comfortable with our course area and watch the initial welcome videos. You can go through the program on-demand and at your own pace. You can watch the videos or listen to them podcast-style. This experience meets you right where you’re at (whether you are getting started or have a retreat underway) in your planning.
Is this only for business people? What if I'm just getting started?
This program is designed for business owners who want to add retreats as a revenue stream. If you haven't figured out what to sell or you don't have any customers or clients yet, you may not have an existing audience to sell your retreat to. As a result, may not get the results you are desiring.
How fast can I expect to create and launch a retreat?
That is dependent on your existing audience and customer base. However, we recommend you allow for at least 4-6 months to have the proper runway in place for creating, planning and selling a retreat. Whether you do less or more is up to you. We provide you with the complete task and to-do list to execute on as quickly as you desire for your own timeline.
Is the content specific to creating a retreat in any industry?
The content and systems we teach are not specific to any one industry or niche. All are welcome!
What if I have a different design style than Amber's events?
The framework taught in Invite & Delight can be used for many different design styles. You do not have to emulate my style. In fact, I'll show you how to uncover your own design details that are unique to your brand!
Can I do this? My schedule is complicated. Will I need to login at a specific time? Do I have to be tech-savvy?
It is up to you to make this opportunity a priority! I get it, you're a busy person! That's why all of our trainings are short, sweet, and to the point. However, to have success in this program, you will want to be sure you are comfortable using technology as a teaching tool. We will make available to you many resources using (free) systems and online software to help you create, plan, and deliver your retreat. You are someone who enjoys a mixed media learning experience with video, audio, digital worksheets and activities to help you make incremental progress. All the instruction takes place entirely online on your own schedule and pace.
What kind of support do I get if I get stuck?
In our Facebook Community you can bounce ideas and get feedback on your work. This is the place to ask questions, share ideas, and celebrate progress with your fellow retreat creators.
How many tutorials and resources are included in Invite & Delight?
There are more than 50 video trainings, tutorials, resources, swipe files, templates, and worksheets, which cover everything from creating, planning, selling, and delivering your retreat experience. New trainings are being added to the program quarterly.
How long do I have access to the program?
You will lifetime access to the program content in our learning portal and any updates that are added.
Can I use the content for my clients? I want to plan and create retreats for them.
Yes! You can use the information learned in the program to create retreats for your clients if planning retreats for others is a service in your business. However, you may not use the intellectual property to resell or create a retreat planning program of your own.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, If you complete all of trainings, complete the workbooks and homework, and utilize the resources and tools given to you, you will have a solid understanding of how to create, plan and sell a live event or retreat.
If for some reason you don't believe this is true, send proof of completion of each training, submission of homework, within 14 days of enrolling in the course and we'll give you a full refund.

Yes, you can! If you have a business and client base you are currently selling services or products to, you are primed for this opportunity. With my more than two decades of event experience, having attended more than 60+ retreats/workshops/conferences and hosted my own for more than 10 years, I know the ins and outs of all things retreats – and I’ll be your guide every step of the way.
I’m already planning a retreat this summer/fall/winter, will this help me?
Yes! And here’s why. While you may have sold some seats already, that is just one piece of your retreat. There is so much I go into about how to plan your content you’ll deliver, how to give a high-touch experience to your attendees even before they walk through your doors, how to prepare as a host for yourself mentally and physically, how to sell continuity offers, and all the special details that you’ll want to invest in (or even skip). There’s even SO MUCH more than what I’ve listed – so just know that you have an incredible opportunity to make an impact even if you have an existing event underway.
When do we get started?
After enrollment, you’ll get login access to the course platform and have immediate access to the program. You can login to get comfortable with our course area and watch the initial welcome videos. You can go through the program on-demand and at your own pace. This experience meets you right where you’re at (whether you are getting started or have a retreat underway) in your planning.
Is this only for business people? What if I'm just getting started?
This program is designed for business owners who want to add retreats as a revenue stream. If you haven't figured out what to sell yet or had any customers or clients yet, you don't have an existing audience to sell your retreat to and may not get the results you are desiring.
How fast can I expect to create and launch a retreat?
That is dependent on your existing audience and customer base. However, we recommend you allow for at least 4-6 months to have the proper runway in place for creating, planning and selling a retreat. Whether you do less or more is up to you.
Is the content specific to creating a retreat in any industry?
The content and systems we teach are not specific to any one industry or niche. All are welcome!
Can I do this? Do I have the time and tech-savvy?
It is up to you to make this opportunity a priority! I get it, you're a busy person! That's why all of our trainings are short, sweet, and to the point. However, to have success in this program, you will want to be sure you are comfortable using technology as a teaching tool. We will make available to you many resources using (free) systems and online software to help you create and plan your retreat. You are someone who enjoys a mixed media learning experience with video, audio, digital worksheets and activities to help you make incremental progress. All the instruction takes place entirely online.
What kind of support do I get if I get stuck?
In our Facebook Community you can bounce ideas and get feedback on your work. This is the place to ask questions, share ideas, and celebrate progress with your fellow retreat creators.
How long do I have access to the program?
You will lifetime access to the program content in our learning portal and any updates that are added.
Can I use the content for my clients? I want to plan and create retreats for them.
Yes! You can use the information learned in the program to create retreats for your clients if that is an arm of your business. However, you may not use the intellectual property to resell or create a retreat planning or consulting program of your own.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, If you complete all of trainings, complete the workbooks and homework, show up to live workshops, and engage in the private community, you will have a solid understanding of how to create, plan and sell a live event or retreat.
If for some reason you don't believe this is true, send proof of completion of each training, submission of homework, attendance at live workshop(s) and engagement in our community, within 14 days of enrolling in the course and we'll give you a full refund.
