The guild you stay in.

The Community is the conversation. The School is the conversation plus everything we know.

At $19 you get in, you meet who else is here, and you can ask anything on the Open Floor — including the money questions most people won’t ask in public. At $99 you also get the entire library on day one, weekly office hours with Anna, Stacy or Robert, the Practice Floor to bring your half-built thing to, and a listing on our public page at 5% — nothing at all if you joined at the founding rate.

If you’re circling the idea, start at $19. If you have a date on the calendar and seats to sell, $99 is the one.

Yes, and we should say why plainly, because most of this market only talks to retreat hosts.

A women’s reset in Costa Rica, a writing week in Michigan, twelve people going to the Indy 500 — underneath, it’s one job. A fixed number of seats, a fixed date, and a deadline that doesn’t move. The teaching is about filling that, not about what happens once everyone arrives.

Robert runs motorsport trips. Anna runs retreats. The problem is the same problem — a retreat business and a group travel business are the same business underneath, and we teach the underneath.

And it holds for venue owners too. If you have a room with dates in it that somebody has to fill — whether you own that room or booked it — you are in the right place. Venue owners in here also hear directly from the hosts who need a venue.

Then you’re in the hardest version of it, and you should know that going in.

A first launch has no past guests, no list to speak of, and no proof — which is exactly the situation the Start Here path in The Community was built for. You won’t be the only person in here doing it for the first time.

What we won’t tell you is how long it takes. That depends on your list and your audience, and anyone who gives you a number without asking about those two things is guessing.

No. You get all of it the day you join, including every video course in The School — the first of them Anna’s full Profitable Retreat Method, with new ones added continuously.

Most memberships release a module a week so you stay subscribed long enough to finish. We hand you the library on day one. If you binge it in a fortnight and leave, that’s a fair trade — you got what you paid for.

What keeps people isn’t locked content. It’s the Thursday you post a half-finished sales page at eleven at night and three people who’ve sold the same thing tell you what’s wrong with it.

A small one — and none at all if you join at the founding rate.

School members pay 5% on a booking made through our listings. Founding members pay nothing, permanently. Non-members pay 10%.

Marketplaces take a far larger cut of a booking you often sourced yourself, on every seat. Ours stays small because the subscription is the business — we’re teaching, not brokering — so the cut never has to be big enough to change what you charge. Guests book with you directly either way.

The Community at $9 a month, the School at $49 a month, for as long as you stay a member. Not for a year. Not until we put prices up.

The founding rate is on the monthly plan; the quarterly and annual plans stay at their normal price, which already includes two months free.

This isn’t a sale and we won’t call it one — a sale means the price comes back, and yours doesn’t. It’s a founding rate, and the only way to get it is to be early. What does end is the door, and it closes on 31 October 2026: after that, new members pay $19 and $99.

You can be considered. We won’t pretend everyone gets on.

The Hosting Guild Podcast runs weekly on YouTube, Spotify and Apple — fifty-two episodes a year against a lot more members than that. School members are eligible to be considered, and the people we look at first are the ones doing the work where we can see it.

Six episodes are recorded, and the first goes out on 9 September 2026.

No. Membership is not required and never has been — a year of The School is already included in your seat.

The Residency at Lakemore is five days in January that do in person what the Guild does over a year, with all three of us in the room.

Mostly no — but if an annual renewal catches you out, tell us within 30 days and we’ll refund it.

Month to month, payments aren’t refundable. You can cancel any time and you won’t be charged again: no notice period, no minimum term, and nobody to talk you out of it. You do it yourself in the Hall.

The annual exception exists because a year is long enough to forget you’re subscribed, and charging someone for a year they didn’t mean to buy isn’t a business we want to run. Write to us and say so — you don’t have to explain yourself.

The reason we can be firm the rest of the time is the same reason there’s no drip: the entire library is open to you on day one. There’s no version of this where you paid for something we hadn’t handed over yet. The full terms are here.
