If you're a nature-based business owner who wants to GROW your business to serve more children and families while you work LESS and earn MORE, you're invited to the...
2024 Nature-Based Business RetreatÂ
with Laura Park Figueroa
November 7-10, 2024 in Santa Cruz, CA
15 registered! ONLY 3 SPOTS LEFT!
Â
If you're serious about growing your nature-based business, youâre invited to join us for 4 days in the magical California redwoods to find mental clarity, connect with other nature-based business owners, and spend hours of focused time working ON your nature-based business (rather than IN it).
You know how there are always about 100 things you know you âshouldâ do, but you never get to them because youâre busy running the business?!
And sometimes when you DO have a little time to work, you're so overwhelmed you feel paralyzed and unsure how to best spend your time.
This retreat will give you focused work time and coaching to get the right things done in your business, so that you return home less overwhelmed & with more clarity about exactly where to focus your time and energy as the business owner.

A Yearly Planning Guide for You to Use for Years to Come
Youâll get a physical copy of my (recently revised and expanded) Yearly Business Planning Guide, which weâll work through on the retreat to help you review 2024 and plan for 2025.
Youâll leave with a clear path to follow to meet your businessâ revenue and impact goals.
Iâll also share time-saving resources and templates that helped me grow my private practice to over 470k in revenue so you don't have to reinvent the wheel in your own business.
All of us nature-lovers know that our best business ideas and insights come when weâre relaxed and connecting with nature, so weâll also have free time for hiking in the redwoods and walking on the beach by the Pacific Ocean. Here's some actual photos of the exact woods and beach where we will be "work-cationing."
What We'll Be DoingÂ
Â
Strategic Workshops & Focused Work Sessions, + talking nature-based business while eating delicious food, lounging at the pool, relaxing in the sauna, or eating after-dinner dark chocolate together. đŤ đ
Â
I will guide you what to work on and provide 1:1 support as needed during all of our work sessions. I've planned every afternoon free from 3:30-6pm for down time to hike, go to the beach, and unwind. Every evening we'll have a short group time for reflection and commitments to action.
