Your Profile acts as a home for your reviews, it's a place where you can showcase what makes you unique, tell your story, and set standards for the service guests can expect while on retreat.
If you don't have a physical retreat center that is part of your organization, that's okay! Set this up as a page that describes your services, with imagery to showcase your various retreats, venue(s) and teacher(s). You can use the Event listings to add the specifics about the location, venue, teacher(s) and offerings for individual retreats.
Once your application is accepted, you'll receive a link to create your Profile and be guided through the setup process. The first step is to answer a few questions so we can create your account. You will then be sent an email with your login information. From there, you can complete the setup process by navigating to the Center Page from the admin side panel.
It's important to fill in all fields on this page as most fields from this profile will auto-populate into your events to save you time when creating your future retreats. Remember this is where past guests will leave reviews and where future guests will go to find more about you so be sure to add some extra love and special attention to each section. Add at least 5 high-quality images, use images that showcase your center, and give an overall feel of the environment you provide. Our research shows the more high-quality imagery you have the more likely a guest is to book. These images should show potential guests what they could expect when arriving at your center, what your team is like, and what classes or meals may look like when on retreat. Your first photo will act as the featured image on search results. Check out Marketplace Photo Posting Policy to make sure your images are a good fit.

An Event on the marketplace is your retreat listing. This is where you want to share the specifics of a particular retreat, program, or class you offer. Fill in all areas and paint a picture of what a guest could expect when attending this retreat with you. Using exact information like addresses or as close to it as possible helps you show up better in searches.
Event DatesWhen setting up your events you have 3 different date types to choose from.
Registration Closing Date is used to stop registrations after a certain date.
Event Hosted OnlineCheck this box if your event is an online event. It will show up in the Online search area of the marketplace for greater visibility.
Pricing OptionsYour pricing options should be for each different lodging option you offer for this retreat or for the different tiers of service you offer on this retreat. This needs to be the total price of the retreat cost for each option so the deposit is calculated properly.
Stay organized with all your bookings. Your registration list will include all the information you need to connect with your registrations; name, date registered, program, stay dates, contact email, balance due after deposit payment, and their total registration amount.
When a participant registers for your program, we send a confirmation email to them confirming their booking and advising they will hear from your center within 48 hours. We also send you an email confirming the booking with their contact information at the same time. Once you confirm the booking, you are responsible for collecting the remainder of the retreat balance through your normal registration process.
