Casa Torreta Blanca

I know how much you've been burning to do a retreat.

Just imagine, all your favourite people in a room, brainstorming, making true monumental breakthroughs that will change their life and those around them. 

All while sipping sangria in the Spanish sun... 

... not to mention them all wanting to work with you afterwards! 

At Casa Torreta Blanca Retreat Venue, our aim is to become seen as the go-to people for coaches wanting to explore running retreats.

A big part of this is demystifying the retreat creation process and, more importantly, debunking and challenging the big retreat fears and objections that hold potential retreat leaders back.

Over the next few blogs, I’m going to look at the main obstacles and give some advice and reassurance about how we deal with them here at Casa Torreta Blanca. These answers are specific to us here and I give no guarantees that other retreat venues operate in the same way!

Introduction: The Hidden Risk of Running Retreats

Let’s start with the uncomfortable truth!

One of the easiest things in the world to do is to lose money running retreats!

Starting in autumn 2024, the European Union will roll out a new digital border control process known as the Entry/Exit System (EES).

Designed to enhance the security of the EU's external Schengen borders, this system is expected to launch in November, though an exact date hasn't been confirmed yet.

The EES will apply to all travellers visiting the Schengen Area, which includes most EU nations, as well as non-EU countries like Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein.

Cyprus and Ireland are exempt from the system, as they are not part of the Schengen Area.
