Welcome to your exclusive local retreat Hostess page for Memory!

Thank you for purchasing your digital hostess kit!

Here’s how the process works:

  • You – the group leader – purchase the hostess kit. ✅
  • Next, please fill out the form about your group event.
  • You arrange your local location and invitation and food details. Based on these plans, you determine the cost to attend the event per person ($25 for the retreat access + any extra expenses you need to cover per person).
  • You publicize the event and send invitations as desired. It can be small and close-knit or a wide-open community affair.
  • At your event, you receive payments and registration information from each attendee. This information can also be used by you for follow-up – some local support groups start this way!
  • After you send us your retreat group registration form, we invoice you $22 per person. $3/person is yours to cover the cost of your kit and retreat expenses.
  • We then email your attendees lifetime access to the replays, a coupon code for use inside Sistership, as well as access to the discussion area for the retreat also inside the Sistership.
  • After turning in your invoice, you also receive a hostess coupon code as a thank you gift for stepping up as a local leader.
  • Everyone gets free lifetime access to the replays!

The local group rate is $25 per attendee, which you can collect ahead of time or at the door. After your live, local event, send us your group registration form (part of the kit) and we’ll invoice you for $22/person. This is a discount of $15 for your sisters, and each of them will still receive a link for lifetime access to the replays (if they provide their email address). Plus, you keep $3 of each person’s registration to reimburse your kit cost – the more people you have, the lower your cost!

We provide:

  • 4 quality sessions
  • a checklist to help you not forget any details
  • a low-cost option for a homeschool mom’s day out
  • a pdf with note-taking pages
  • discussion questions
  • an invitation
  • an optional schedule with time for small group discussions between sessions
  • registration paperwork
  • name tags

You provide:

  • the venue
  • the food plan (take-out, cater, potluck, simple snacks – you’ll want something for this all-day event)
  • the invitation process
  • the hostessing of the event

Publicity

Feel free to copy any of the wording in an email from Scholé Sisters or on the information page in your own emails or social media posts about your local retreat.

Registration

Schedules

Add your own start and end time for your live event so that there is enough time for registrations and chit chat before the sessions begin and also enough time to discuss some more afterwards. You can schedule them whenever works for your group, with breaks of whatever length you’d like. Each session will be a separate recording to push play on.

Leader FAQs:

When can I host my retreat?

Anytime that suits those attending. A full day out, perhaps on a Saturday. Some groups are even using the retreat one session at a time during their monthly meetings. That totally works! Just collect the registration at the first meeting and submit your group registration form.

What if only 2 people come? Will we get the group rate?

Yes. All local groups get the group rate, regardless of size.

How do my friends register?

Your friends should register at the door on the day of your local retreat with you and not on our site. If an attendee shows a receipt that they already paid on our site, then simply leave them off your registration sheet.

To get the group rate, however, they’ll pay you, then we’ll invoice you afterwards.

Why do I have to pay more as the hostess?

The hostess purchases a kit with supplies to make her event special. She collects $25 per attendee. After the event, we invoice for $22/attendee (not including the hostess) The bigger the event, the more of a discount the hostess gets.

Is this for classical or Charlotte Mason moms only?

No! We’re going to be talking to the intentional, purposeful homeschool mom who wants to do a good job and also not burn out while doing her best. No matter what your homeschool method, this will be a day of refreshment and renewal with a little kick-in-the-pants honesty.

Is this retreat Christian?

Yes. We will open and close in prayer and our message will be grounded in the truth of the gospel.

If you have an attendee who ends up unhappy with the content because the gospel offends her, give her a refund and we will not charge her (or she may contact us after your invoice is paid for a refund).
