The Legal Mistakes That Could Cost Your Retreat Business with Cory Sterling
Legal isn't the most exciting part of running a retreat, but it can be one of the most important.
In this episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I sit down with Cory Sterling, founder of Conscious Counsel, to talk about the legal foundations every retreat leader needs to have in place before welcoming participants.
Whether you're planning your very first retreat or you've been hosting for years, this conversation will help you avoid costly mistakes, protect your business, and create a better experience for everyone involved.
Together we discuss:
The three legal documents every retreat leader should have before selling a retreat
Why generic templates and AI-generated agreements can leave your business exposed
The importance of activity-specific liability waivers
The legal clauses that can protect you when unexpected events force changes or cancellations
How the right legal agreements give you more confidence, control, and peace of mind
Running profitable retreats isn't only about filling the room. It's about building a business that is sustainable, protected, and prepared for the unexpected.
If you host retreats or are planning your first one, this episode is full of practical insights that can save you time, money, and stress.
