APPLYÂ Â
We’re so excited you’re interested in hosting at Retreat Monferrato.
Our model is simple: you bring your community, and we handle the planning, logistics, and launch strategy that fills your retreat.
The process:
Once we receive your application, Jen will review and provisionally accept strong-fit hosts.
The next step is launching your priority waitlist to your community to confirm demand for your selected dates. We provide everything you need for this step, including messaging, timelines, and support.
Important: Opening your waitlist kicks off a focused two-week launch window. During this time, you should plan for ~5 hours per week to follow up with potential guests and drive enrollment.
After this initial launch period, planning becomes much more hands-off for the host.Â
