EP 18: Hosting And Curating Intimate Retreats (ft. Bonnie Bakhtiari)
We have a lot of content about big conferences on the podcast, but today I want to chat about intimate retreats. If you are somebody who has been attending larger conferences and you're feeling like it's not the best fit for you or maybe you're craving something a little more hands on and a little more intimate, we have the perfect guest on this episode to address those feelings! Bonnie Bakhtiari from “B is for Bonnie Design” is the host of the Illume retreat, which is an intimate restful retreat for creatives who strive to build businesses that operate from a clear place of purpose. She’s going to give you a fresh perspective on why you might want to consider attending or even hosting more intimate retreats rather than larger events.
