Retreat FAQs

While this retreat is open to all home staging business owners, please note that the content and activities are tailored for those who have already experienced some level of success in their business.

If you just started your staging business and haven’t completed any paid projects yet, we recommend considering our 5-Figure Floor Plan course, which is specifically designed to help beginner stagers build a strong foundation for their businesses.

Our retreat is designed to challenge seasoned home stagers like you to rethink your strategies and refine (and possibly innovate!) your current processes. The core of this retreat focuses on helping you create a clear framework and execution plan for a keystone project that will significantly impact your business in 2026.

We’ve included pre- and post-retreat coaching sessions, one-on-one consultations, and access to a supportive community to ensure you stay focused on your goals and continue your growth beyond the retreat.

Your keystone project will be a transformative initiative that can significantly elevate your staging business. During our retreat, you’ll develop a comprehensive plan for implementing this project over the coming year. Some powerful examples include:

• Signature Service Evolution: Develop a distinctive, premium offering that sets you apart in your market, complete with value-based pricing and delivery systems.
  
• Business Model Recalibration: Analyze which aspects of your business generate the most profit with the least effort, then create a strategic plan to optimize your operations accordingly.

• Team Growth Blueprint: Design a structured approach to building and managing your team, including hiring timelines, role definitions, and management systems.

• Strategic Partnership Ecosystem: Identify and develop relationships with complementary businesses and referral sources that can sustainably grow your client base.

• Revenue Diversification Plan: Map out additional income streams such as consulting, educational products, or specialized services to create more stability in your business.

• Brand Elevation Strategy: Create a comprehensive plan to position your business at a higher price point with a distinctive market presence.

• Digital Transformation Initiative: Develop systems to streamline your business operations through technology, potentially including virtual staging offerings.

The ideal keystone project addresses a significant opportunity in your business and creates lasting transformation rather than just tactical improvements. Cindy will help you select and refine the right project during our pre-retreat coaching calls.

Yes, you are welcome to bring a partner or friend! We offer double occupancy in some rooms.

If your friend or partner is also a stager wishing to join the retreat experience, we can provide a friend discount for both of you.

If your friend or partner is not a stager but would like to stay with you and join you for meals and excursions, we can also offer a reduced rate.

Please note that non-stagers will be excluded from certain activities, such as work sessions, and may be asked to stay away from the work and session areas to ensure the focus remains on the retreat objectives for the attendees.

Please contact us to discuss availability and arrangements. 

If you’d like to have extensive conversations about your home staging business, Cindy does offer 1 on 1 coaching sessions. Please contact us below for more details.

Not at all! We’ve had the pleasure of hosting attendees from the US and the UK! The topics and strategies we cover can be applied to home staging businesses near and far since we focus primarily on business strategies.

We are capping in-person attendance to 6 people. There is a virtual retreat available for 4 more people.

When you sign up for the retreat, you will begin with a one-on-one call with Cindy to explore the direction of your keystone project. Over the six weeks leading up to the retreat, there will be two group coaching calls, accompanied by supplemental materials to help you start outlining your project idea.

During the retreat, you’ll continue to develop your project and present your plan on Friday afternoon to the group. This presentation will provide an opportunity to receive constructive feedback and suggestions from your fellow stagers.

After the retreat, the group will meet online bi-weekly for three months to support each other’s progress and execution plans.

Session topics will be tailored to participants’ interests and needs, ensuring that everyone gains valuable insights and support.

Within 24 hours of your registration, you will be added to our membership Stagers’ Adventure Club where you can start attending monthly talks and watch talk replays for additional training and networking with others in the community.

Around mid-July, we will be in touch about pre-retreat session details and a survey for your dietary needs and travel details. We will also start setting appointments for your 1:1 call before the group coaching calls.

The main difference is that virtual participants will not be attending the retreat in person. However, you will still benefit from 1:1 sessions and participate in both the pre-retreat and post-retreat group coaching calls alongside in-person attendees. You will also have virtual retreat days (we will do two half days in October) to develop your framework and execution plan. These sessions will also be open to in-person participants, fostering collaboration and shared insights.

We recommend flying into the RAK Airport in Marrakesh. Alternatively, you can also fly into Casablanca and take the direct train to Marrakesh. Our riad is about a 15-minute taxi ride from the train station.

Please check with your local health department and the Moroccan government for any travel advisories, health recommendations, or vaccination requirements before your trip.

Visa requirements for traveling to Marrakesh vary depending on your nationality. Many travelers from countries, including the United States, Canada, and the European Union, can enter Morocco for tourism purposes without a visa for stays of up to 90 days.

However, some nationalities may require a visa prior to arrival. We recommend checking with your local Moroccan consulate or embassy to confirm the specific visa requirements based on your nationality and the length of your stay.

Be sure to have a valid passport with at least six months remaining before its expiration date, as this is often a requirement for entry into Morocco.

• 90% Refund: If you cancel by July 1, 2025
• 50% Refund: If you cancel by August 1, 2025
• No Refund: After August 1, 2025

Yes, we strongly recommend that you purchase a travel insurance policy. Your policy should include:

1. Trip Cancellation/Disruption Coverage: This should be equal to or greater than the total value of the retreat in case you need to cancel for any reason. It also covers you in the unlikely event that we cancel the retreat, as well as any unexpected changes, postponements, or cancellations.
2. Travel Medical Insurance: Coverage for any medical expenses incurred while traveling.
3. Medical Evacuation Insurance: Protection in the event you need emergency transportation for medical reasons.

Not getting adequate travel insurance will mean that you will assume full responsibility for any financial losses related to your trip, including travel arrangements and medical expenses. For example, you would be liable for costs if:

• You need to cancel for any reason or if there are trip changes or cancellations.
• Your flight is canceled and the retreat is nonrefundable.
• Natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, earthquakes) occur while you are traveling and you become stranded.
• A medical emergency arises requiring medical attention or evacuation.
• Your luggage is lost and contains essential items, such as medication.
• Your passport and wallet are stolen, necessitating emergency funds and a replacement passport.

By obtaining travel insurance, you ensure that you are protected against unforeseen circumstances that could affect your trip.
