Esthetic Training Retreat

So...I am working on a two day Esthetic Training Retreat. My husband and I are going to buy a home with many suites in it or a guest house. Our thought is that a small group of Estheticians will spend two days with us digging deep into business, marketing, equipment, treatments, etc. In between learning, we can enjoy the weather and ocean views here in Laguna Niguel, eat fabulous food (we'll have a chef) and be pampered (which is something we never do for ourselves!). I'll bring in guest speakers to each retreat. I already have quite a few experts in mind!!

What do you guys think? Any thoughts and ideas are much appreciated. I want this to be an experience that will be fantastic for your business as well as for your soul!

The machines are essential, business planning! Gaining new clients, and different treatment ideas. Maybe a spouse retreat. My husband, while 100% supportive, doesn't have a clue! Haha! How about an ingredients class where people hAndle ingredients? Make some cleanser, lotion etc. Also you have to touch on the whole selling thing! Oh! And Internet training! Haha!

We're looking at homes right now....gotta find that perfect place with an incredible view and a peaceful retreat feel. The homes here in Laguna Niguel area are phenomenal! We're hoping to host the first retreat before the year is up!!

Still working on the retreat idea! We decided the house on Inspiration Point wasn't the right house....not a good enough ocean view. I want this to truly feel like a retreat. I've got a local yoga teacher ready to go for anyone intrested in a morning yoga session with the ocean as you do your downward facing dog or warrior pose! :-)

Any thoughts and ideas are much appreciated. I really want this to be something very educational and special!

Our retreat is still at the top of our "to do" list. We've found the home. It's perfect. The view is incredible. In fact, it may be hard to keep my attendees focused on learning...they will be day dreaming at the view!
