This is not your ordinary training.

Ordinary training happens in ordinary places. You take notes, check your email, sit through another Zoom call with your camera off. You walk away with a few key takeaways—if you're lucky.

But this? This is different.

This is an experience. A journey. A transformational moment that asks for all of you—your heart, your presence, your willingness to grow. Because when we talk about inspiring generosity, we’re not just talking about a skill. We’re talking about a way of being. And that kind of shift? It doesn’t happen in a conference room.

This training demands your full attention—not because it’s complicated, but because it’s transformational. This is where the journey starts. This isn’t just learning. This is the kind of experience that changes the way you lead, the way you show up in the world … the way you inspire generosity.

Are you ready? Because this is where everything changes.

Questions

Who are these retreats for?

These retreats are for leaders who have the responsibility of fundraising and want a more natural, mission-centered way of inspiring generosity. It’s a space to step away from urgency, reflect, and reimagine your approach alongside others who understand the unique joys and challenges of this work.

How do I sign up?

Step 1: Take the DREAMS™ to Reality Assessment

Start by completing our online assessment. This gives us a clear picture of where your organization stands today: what’s working, what’s not, and where things feel stuck. Your honest reflection lays the groundwork for a personalized experience.

Step 2: Schedule Your Discovery Call with Joanna

After completing the assessment, you’ll be invited to book a 45-minute Discovery Call with Joanna. This is a relational, no-pressure conversation where we explore your results and what matters most to you moving forward.

Step 3: Step Into the DREAMS™ to Reality Generosity Accelerator

After your Discovery Session, Joanna will review everything and let you know if the retreat is the right next step. If it’s a good fit, you’ll be invited to join the DREAMS™ to Reality Generosity Accelerator, beginning with an in-person retreat and supported by ongoing guidance as you put the work into action.

What should I bring to the retreat?

Just yourself. We provide all materials, and we’ll send you a packing checklist so you feel fully prepared.

Are meals and accommodations provided?

Yes, every meal, snack, and overnight stay is covered. We’ll check in with you about dietary needs in your welcome packet.

What does a typical day at the retreat look like?

Each day includes breakfast and a series of learning sessions in the morning and afternoon, with short breaks and lunch in between. We mix teaching, conversation, and practical exercises, and end the day with dinner together.

How many participants will be at each retreat?

Most retreats are designed for 6 to 12 participants, depending on the location. Some venues allow for larger groups, but even in those settings, we create smaller, more intimate learning experiences so you always feel seen and heard.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Because these retreats are small and require detailed planning, all payments are nonrefundable. If you’re unable to attend, you’re welcome to transfer your spot to another leader. Just notify Joanna in writing at least one week before the retreat begins.

The Journey Starts Here

This is your moment to step out of urgency and into clarity.

The Inspire Generosity Assessments are simple reflections designed to help you see where generosity is strong, where it may be stuck, and where there's room to grow—whether you lead a nonprofit, serve on a board, or guide a church.
