Open the notesA light program, updated with Sandy's feedback. Canyon Ranch fills the rest: 35+ daily classes, the spa, Lake Travis, and the trails. Times are a working draft.
No outside experts for this first retreat; programming is Sandy's and Sharon's. Sharon is building the stewardship arc around the weekend: a pre-retreat survey, the welcome, and cohort threads afterward. Sponsor moments (a hosted meal, session, or welcome toast) slot into Friday lunch or dinner, the Saturday hike, or Saturday dinner. Creators aren't paid; downtime is the draw, and each creator posts about the sponsor during and after the weekend.
One exclusive presenting sponsor, or shared support if there isn't one.
Creator cost without sponsor coverage is about $3,500 plus airfare. Internal only; keep it off the public page.
From the Retreat Sponsors tab. Contacts are starting points and still need to be verified.
