Is it time to bring your Signature Transformational Retreat to life?
Dear transformational leader,
When a client shifts the root cause of their problem, and aligns themselves energetically with their goals, magic happens!
You know this deep down, and that’s probably why you’ve been considering adding transformational retreats to the way you work. Maybe this is a new pull, or maybe you’re like so many, and you’ve been daydreaming about hosting retreats for years. (I did too!)
But as the energy of our world gets more intense, and AI tools mean that content marketing becomes more and more ‘noisy,’ the desire to be together in person is not just a nice idea, but a key differentiating business strategy.
Imagine your client base gathering, hugging, witnessing one another at their depths, and becoming even more loyal to your community and your brand.
It’s all possible, and it’s not as complicated as you may think.
One Move, Infinite Benefits!
- Attract Aligned Clients: Host intimate retreats that speak to the inner knowing of your best prospects – the knowing that they need to shift their energy field into alignment, and that more is possible from a new vantage point.
- Experience Seamless Flow: Create a business model that honors your energy and cycles, where retreats become the natural structure and rhythm for client enrollment cycles.
- Raise the Investment: Adding a retreat that catalyzes profound transformation will dramatically increase the perceived value of your offerings, and the actual results your clients achieve when working with you.
- Unlock More Joy & Fulfillment: Spend your days, several times each year, guiding groups through powerful experiences that feel easy, energizing, and aligned with your purpose.
- Be Seen and Known: Establish your retreats as a cornerstone of your business, becoming the go-to leader in your field and making a lasting impact in your industry.
9 weeks after I attended Darla’s Embody event, I hosted my first retreat: the 3-Day Beachside Writing Retreat, which netted $22,500 and counting. Leading a writing retreat is a dream I’ve had since 2018, but I put it off because the project felt too big and uncertain. Especially since the other in-person events I led weren’t profitable.
Darla helped me realize that I already had the necessary pieces — I just needed help fitting them together and trusting my vision. I gained clarity around my magic and how to lead with it confidently.
If you want to lead retreats and do it in a way that leans on your strengths and delivers the transformation you promise, there’s no better guide than Darla LeDoux.

Founder of The A List Author Studio
One part of Darla’s genius is being able to identify her clients’ unique Magic and then help them design a retreat that amplifies and embodies that Magic. She has developed this skill through hosting hundreds of retreats over the years and through working with thousands of clients.
Recently, she helped me map out one of my own retreats, and getting her support was invaluable. She did a great job in helping me optimize my event flow and the way I positioned my offer. Her insights allowed me to convert over 50% of available prospects into my next step offer.
I can honestly say that working with Darla allowed me to generate tens of thousands of dollars that I may not have generated otherwise. Darla is a one-of-a-kind genius, and if you ever have the opportunity to have her help you with your retreat, it would be a mistake to pass up this opportunity!

You’re not alone.
- You’ve maxed out your ability to deliver your services 1-on-1 and crave a way to scale your impact without sacrificing your energy.
- You’ve been drained supporting clients who were misaligned, and you’re ready to work exclusively with clients who get it – who understand and are responsible for the energy they are putting out into the world that is creating their current results. They are so ready for you to put language and experience to what they know deep down!
- You know you’re delivering great stuff, but you can’t help but feel like something is missing, and your soul urge to go deeper with clients and help them actually BE HAPPY, not just productive, has gotten louder and louder..
- You’ve doubted whether retreats can be profitable, because some ‘well-intentioned expert’ (who doesn’t have the gift for holding intimate space like you do) questioned your idea.
- You’ve been waiting for the “right time” to start, but that time never seems to come – do I have enough of an audience, will what I envision really work, do I have the courage to ‘go there’ in a group setting??? The unanswered questions seem infinite!
I’m Darla LeDoux
When I first started hosting retreats, I didn’t have it all figured out. For years, I felt that pull to guide clients through deep transformation in person, but it took me a while to trust that calling. I doubted whether it was possible to create a profitable retreat business – until I did it.
I kept thinking that one day I’d be ready. That a magical permission slip would drop from the sky, and the time would be right.
Then my stepdad was diagnosed with cancer and passed away 3 months later. He was 52 and had just been promoted to a job he loved. And I knew I needed to find out if I really get paid to do the work I felt called to do.
By following my intuition and embracing my unique transformational approach (and investing a whole bunch of money in coaching support and repeatedly stating my desire to host retreats), I turned my first retreat into a game-changer for my business.
Not only did I get to find out if the experience I imagined creating would work to change lives (it did), but I also walked out of that retreat with my entire annual revenue goal met in contracted income (tt was $36K that first year). AND, I had people who were already my clients choose to pay me more than 3X more to keep working with me because of my retreat!
($300/month clients upgraded to be $1000/month clients by choice! With no more access to my time!)
Now, I’ve led 118 retreats and generated millions in retreat-based revenue. I know exactly what it takes to design, market, and host profitable retreats that are both spiritually aligned and financially rewarding. Let me show you how to do the same.
