Please describe a past program that you feel typifies the business opportunity you represent for our partners:

Our last retreat was in Sedona, Arizona at L’Auberge de Sedona. It was a three day retreat with about 12 attendees including instructors and event planners. We had our guests book their rooms separate, so we only paid for the event space.

Please share with us an opportunity you are currently working on:

We are looking to start planning our next retreat. We like to keep it small and intimate, maximum 12 people. We are a company that focuses a lot on Spirituality during our retreats, so it’s important that the space is connected to nature but also easy to get to. 1 Event space with lots of lighting. 3-5 rooms or an option to book guest rooms separately. We are open to time of year and destination but most likely during the fall or winter. We just ask that if it’s during the winter, it’s in a warmer destination.

Our best success has been in Sedona, London, Florence, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara and La Jolla
