I Sold Out 20+ Retreats Working 4 Hours a Week (Here's The System)

That beat-up Volkswagen I used to drive between yoga studios? The one with no AC, leaking oil, paint chipping off like a bad sunburn? I'd park it in the back lot so students wouldn't see their "spiritual teacher" driving what looked like a rejected prop from a zombie movie.

Fast forward to today and I'm writing this from Lake Atitlan, in Guatemala, having worked exactly 2.5 hours this week, with my next retreat already sold out.

You know how to transform lives. You've got the yoga training, the healing modality, the gift. You can feel it in your bones that you're meant to lead retreats – create those magical containers where people come as strangers and leave as family.

But every time you think about actually launching one, your brain spirals:

"How do I even start? Do I book the venue first or get deposits first? What if nobody signs up? How do I price it? What if I lose money? My mom already thinks I've thrown my life away..."*

Without spending years building an email list of 10,000 people.

Without having to become some Instagram influencer doing awkward reels.

Without taking out a loan to cover upfront venue costs before you know if anyone will even come.

Even if you've never led a retreat before.

Even if you have exactly 247 Instagram followers (and half of them are your relatives).

Even if the idea of "marketing yourself" makes you want to hide under a weighted blanket.
