Retreat Quick-Start Kit

Plan Your Retreat Without Starting From a Blank Page

Knowing where to begin is the hardest part of planning a women's retreat. This kit hands you the first 30 days already mapped out, so you can stop staring at a blank page and start moving.

If you're anything like most women's ministry leaders I talk to, you're not short on ideas. You're short on time and a clear place to start.

There's a date somewhere in the back of your mind. A rough sense of what you want the weekend to feel like. And a dozen things you're supposed to figure out before anyone else gets involved: a theme, a budget, a venue, a price, and a team willing to help. Most nights it's easier to close the laptop than decide which of those comes first.

You don't have to have every answer before you start. You just need a clearer starting point, and that's the whole job of this kit.

You already know these women and what this weekend should do for them. This gives you somewhere to put that.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

✅ 11-page Retreat Quick-Start Kit (PDF), yours to print or fill in on screen

✅ The 12-Week Planning Timeline, mapped out week by week from twelve weeks out through the week after the retreat

✅ The Retreat Budget Worksheet, with every expense category in one place and a Set Your Price section at the end

✅ The Interactive Budget Calculator, a linked live tool that shows your break-even price, what you'll have left at the price you pick, and what changes when you add scholarship spots

✅ The Theme Decision Worksheet, with a quiz that matches you to a theme if your first idea doesn't pass

✅ Your First Planning Meeting Agenda, a one-hour agenda built around four decisions

✅ Team Roles and Venue Questions, five roles that cover what a retreat needs and the questions to ask a venue before you sign anything

✅ Bonus: The Proposal Packet, eight pages for getting a yes from leadership, including a one-page proposal template, a filled-in example, the words to use in the meeting, and answers to the six things they're most likely to push back on

✅ Bonus: Quick-Start Companion Workbook, ten fillable pages that pair with the kit page by page, with room to work out your scripture anchor, your theme, a venue comparison, quotes and deposits, first meeting notes, and a weekly check-in

✅ Bonus: 10 Seasonal Retreat Theme Starters, a one-page PDF with ten theme ideas and an anchor verse for each, for when nothing has come to mind yet

HOW IT WORKS

Download your files immediately after purchase. Print the pages or fill them in on screen. The budget calculator opens right in your browser on a phone or a computer, so there's nothing to install.

The Quick-Start Kit is Step 1 of the Purpose to Plan Path™, the four-step framework behind every resource in this shop. It's where almost everyone stalls, and it's the one step that makes everything after it easier.

Once the weekend is planned, you still have to fill it. The Retreat Promo Swipe Kit picks up right where this one leaves off, with every announcement email, bulletin blurb, flyer, and social caption already written for you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

✞ What do I get, and how do I get it?
The 11-page kit PDF plus three bonus PDFs: the Retreat Proposal Packet, the Quick-Start Companion Workbook, and the Seasonal Theme Starters. Everything is delivered right after checkout. Print the pages or fill them in on screen. The budget calculator opens in any browser, so there's no software to install.

✞ Is this tied to a particular season?
No. The kit works any time of year. The Seasonal Theme Starters bonus is the only piece tied to a season, and it's a separate PDF you can set aside if you're planning for a different time of year.

✞ I've never planned a retreat before. Is this too advanced?
Not at all. It's built for a first-time planner. The timeline tells you what to do each week, the meeting agenda gives you the words to run your first meeting, and the venue checklist gives you the questions to ask.

✞ I already have my theme. Is the kit still worth it?
Yes. Skip the theme worksheet and use the rest. The timeline, budget worksheet, calculator, meeting agenda, team roles, and venue checklist are all still ahead of you.

✞ What's your refund policy?
Because this is a digital product delivered immediately after purchase, we don't offer refunds. Please review the images before purchasing, and reach out if you have any questions.
