Retreats That Land Design the Journey, Not Just the Room

Описание: A retreat can be gorgeous and still feel flat. In this retreat planning breakdown, I’m unpacking guest experience design (the guest journey, pacing, and communication), not just décor.
In this video, you’ll learn the truth about guest experience: it starts long before your retreat begins and lasts long after it ends. You’ll discover how the guest journey actually works, what shapes emotional connection, and how to design moments that feel meaningful, not just Instagrammable.
By the end, you’ll see the difference between styling and experience design, how operations shape how guests feel, and the touchpoints that drive real guest satisfaction.

You’ll learn:
➢ Why décor and “special touches” don’t guarantee a great experience
➢ The real guest journey before, during, and after the event
➢ How pacing, transitions, and clarity impact the room more than visuals
➢ The operational elements that quietly shape how guests feel
➢ Simple upgrades that immediately elevate your next retreat
