Cuba Retreat: Lifestyle Transformation and Entrepreneurship Hands On: The Day by Day Itinerary
Over the past few months, I started working on retreats starting with Costa Rica in July. I've previously traveled to over 26 countries, planned trips, retreats, and events occasionally.
I've always loved creating experiences - so I thought why not combine Getting Healthy, Making Money, and Building a Brand while helping others around the globe?
Yes. Please!
I just wrapped up two retreats from 2/15 - 2/20 and 2/23-2/27.
I'll focus on what we experienced in Week one in this article, and upcoming articles will spotlight Week two and what I've implemented and/or are implementing in my own life.
Cuba Retreat: The Day by Day Itinerary
As I introduced the strategy and vision of the brand and how the retreats integrate to creating an experience, I've gotten questions on the following:
How did I set up these retreats on my own?
What is the agenda for each retreat?
What did you do for Cuba?
I. How did I set up these retreats on my own?
I started with determining the locations of which countries I wanted to visit within the next year.
The list I came up with for 2017 includes Cuba, Brazil, and Atlanta. At first, I was trying to do five with a group! I realized I should focus more on creating the concept + making it the best it may be! I am a firm believer in creating a limitless life you love yourself.
We were in Cuba 2/15-2/20 with Marissa Pedersen and Ashley Renne.
After integrating and interviewing various influencers for the past several months, I selected these two entrepreneurs as a result of purpose, positivity and future potential growth. We did have two others for week 1, but due to energy and wifi concerns it was mutually decided to not continue with participating.
The three of us got to spend time on creating a life and business we love together in Cuba.
The wellness retreat experience included:
Healthy chefs
Herbalife nutrition supplements + swag bag (all part of our programs)
Service visiting and donating with Photography School in Old Havana
Workshop peaks into academies from Purpose to Profits to Billions in Our Brains and more
Convertible Car Tour around Havana
Glow Spa Party with Herbalife Skin Care
Beach Day at Santa Maria
PLUS opportunities for future business building with creative and collaborative options.
This provided an opportunity for each person to personally experience creating a life + business they love, while also experiencing an immersion experience with our brand.
So what did each day look like?
Immersive. Out of the Box. Creative.
Here's an example of a Creating Retreats workshop the FLC way.


Here is an example of our photoshoot with Alex and his team.
Day 1: Wednesday, 2/15/2017
The first day I arrived with Ashley Renne on the same flight! We leave Atlanta without a hitch to find out in Ft Lauderdale our flight isn't equipped to go to Havana LOL! No problem, we are an hour or so delayed and arrive safely.
Marissa ends up waiting for us for about two hours! The transportation with our private driver, Yansel was right on time, and the visit to the villa seamless for an amazing Cuban dinner.
I highly recommend using Yansel for your driving needs! He was super friendly and professional!! You may reach him at 537-691-7262!
I loved being able to practice my Spanish the entire time with the driver, chef, and staff. They were all super sweet!
I set up things for the influencers, unpacked, and we all chilled after dinner.
