A short YouTube clip (by Phil Powis) advising retreat leaders to offer an integration program at the end of a retreat so participants can stay in community. The speaker argues that after transformative experiences people return to their old environments, creating friction, and that an in-person offer to join a follow-up community is both timely and well-received.
I'm a huge fan of making an offer at your retreat for an integration program so people can stay in community. Right. Because you go and you get this experience and you feel like a new person and you go back to your old environment that the old you created, and there's a lot of friction. So having that community support after retreat, I. I'm just a huge believer in. And the experience of making an offer to a group of people in person who have been with you and have you've guided their transformation. Like, they're so receptive to the offer. People want it.
