You don’t have to qualify for this week and there is nobody deciding whether you’re allowed in. Seats are booked directly on the Residency page, and that’s the whole process.
But it’s five thousand dollars and four days of your January, so if you want to talk to a person first — book half an hour. It’s free, and nobody is going to sell you anything on it.
Either of us can answer anything. But if you already know what’s worrying you, go straight to the person who does that for a living.
Twenty-plus retreats, from Michigan to Banff. Ask her about the week: what the days actually look like, the house, the food, the accessibility of it, what to do about a plan B, how the itinerary works if you’ve never run one of these before.
She’s also the one to ask whether your own retreat idea is a real one, and she will tell you if it isn’t.
Twenty years of marketing. Ask her about the part that keeps you up: what it costs to fill a room, what to charge, why the last one didn’t sell, whether your audience is big enough, what you’d actually leave the Residency holding.
If your question starts with “how do I get people to…”, it’s hers.
You talk, we answer. That’s the whole shape of it.
Rather write than talk? [email protected] reaches the three of us, and one of us replies within three days.
Then don’t book yet. The Guild is $19 a month, you can leave whenever, and it’s an honest place to work out whether the Residency is worth it to you.
