Sample Schedule
Friday — Arrival + Ease
Arrive at your own pace and settle into your room. Explore the home, unwind, and enjoy the peaceful coastal surroundings. We’ll gather for a late sit-down dinner to accommodate all arrival times, followed by relaxed conversation on the porch or around the fire pit. If you’d like, take an evening walk to the harbor or the Cliff Walk to ground yourself in the beauty of York Harbor.
Saturday — Strategy Deep Dive
A full day dedicated to sharpening your offer, messaging, funnel, and marketing strategy. You’ll move through guided workshops, reflection prompts, and breakout time for planning in one of the home’s two large sitting areas. Customized, curated meals throughout the day will bring the group together and encourage meaningful conversation as ideas take shape. Evening discussion helps you integrate your insights and prepare for Sunday’s implementation.
Sunday — Implementation + Content Clarity
This is your day to bring Saturday’s strategy to life. You’ll work through your scripts, refine your messaging, and begin planning or practicing content in a supportive, focused environment. Enjoy quiet working time throughout the home — from cozy corners to bright sitting rooms — as you build the assets that will carry you into summer and fall with confidence. Curated meals continue to foster connection, reflection, and inspiration among the group.
Optional add-ons may be available, including professional brand photography, so you can leave the retreat with elevated visual assets that match your next level. (Add-ons will be announced closer to the retreat date.)
Monday — Closing + Departure
We’ll wrap up with optional morning reflection and a gentle close to your experience. A to-go breakfast will be provided before departure so you can ease into your travel day with clarity, nourishment, and momentum for the months ahead.
