You have an idea. A retreat you've been thinking about for months. A workshop you know your community needs. An offsite that could genuinely shift something for a team.
And yet — you haven't moved. Not because you're not ready. But because you don't know where to start, what it's actually going to cost, or whether the numbers will ever make sense.
So it stays in your head. Waiting.
The Groundwork is designed for exactly this moment.
It's a single, structured session — focused entirely on your situation — that gives you the clarity, the plan, and the confidence to move forward. No overwhelm. No guesswork. Just clear, practical guidance from someone who has designed and delivered retreats professionally for over a decade.
Choose the focus that fits where you are right now.
Is this you?
You're a yoga teacher, coach, facilitator, or wellness professional. You've built something real — a following, a community, a practice — and now you're ready to take it somewhere. A retreat. A workshop. A multi-day event.
But somewhere between the idea and the action, things get murky. You might be thinking:
"I have no idea if this is even financially viable."
"I don't know what order to do things in — so I haven't started."
"I've looked at the numbers but I can't make them work."
"What if I price it too high and no one books? Or too low and I lose money?"
"I keep planning to plan — but nothing is actually happening."
"I don't want to waste months on something that's set up wrong from the start."
The idea feels good. You know it could work. You just can't see the whole picture clearly enough to commit — and that gap between inspiration and action is costing you time, energy, and momentum.
You don't need more information. You need someone to look at your specific situation and tell you exactly what to do.
What changes after a session
Imagine finishing a 90-minute call and walking away with this:
You know exactly whether your retreat or event is viable — not in theory, but based on your actual numbers, your audience, and your goals. You understand what it will take. And you have a clear, ordered plan for making it happen.
Or: you have a working budget that's built on reality, not optimism. You know your breakeven. You know what you need to charge to make a profit — and you understand how different scenarios play out before you've spent a penny.
The uncertainty lifts. The decision becomes easy. And the project that's been sitting in your head for months finally has a real path forward.
That's what The Groundwork delivers — in a single, focused session.
Who you're working with
I'm Elena, the founder of Kenko. I've spent over a decade designing and delivering retreats across the world - working with yoga teachers, coaches, wellness brands, and teams who want to create experiences that actually work.
I've planned retreats that have sold out. I've also seen what happens when the foundations aren't right — the pricing that doesn't cover costs, the timelines that leave no room for error, the logistics that unravel. I know what makes the difference, and I built The Groundwork so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
This session is practical, direct, and built entirely around your situation. No templates applied blindly. No generic advice. Just clear thinking, honest feedback, and a concrete next step.
Choose your focus
Each focus area is a standalone booking. Choose the one that fits where you are right now — or book both if you need the full picture.
FOCUS 01
The Plan
For anyone with a retreat, workshop, event or offsite idea who needs clarity on viability and what it actually takes to deliver it well.
What's included:
90-minute 1:1 call — we go deep on your idea, your goals, your audience, and your constraints
Pre-call questionnaire — so we use every minute of our time together well
Action plan document — a written summary of prioritised next steps, tailored to your situation
Sequenced checklist — a clear breakdown of what needs to happen and in what order
14-day follow-up — a 20-minute check-in call to review progress and answer what's come up
This is right for you if:
You have a retreat or event idea that's been sitting in your head for too long
You're not sure if it's actually viable or where to even begin
You want a concrete plan, not more general advice
You're about to invest time and money and want to make sure you're doing it right

FOCUS 02
The Budget
For anyone who needs to build a solid, realistic budget and understand their numbers before they commit.
What's included:
90-minute 1:1 call — we build your budget together, in real time, based on your actual plans
Pre-call questionnaire — so I understand your event before we start
Working budget document — yours to keep and use independently, fully editable
Pricing strategy and profit margin breakdown — so you know exactly what to charge and why
Scenario planning — best case, minimum viable, and contingency, so you can make decisions with confidence
14-day follow-up — a 20-minute check-in call to refine as your plans develop
This is right for you if:
You've been guessing at your numbers or avoiding them altogether
You're unsure what to charge and don't want to underprice (or overprice) yourself
You want to understand your retreat financially before you start selling
You've run events before but never felt confident in the business side

The Groundwork is a focused advisory session, not full project management. You leave with clarity, a plan, and the tools to move forward independently. If you later want hands-on support to design and deliver your retreat end to end, that's what Kenko's full service is for. This gets you started right.
-
Yes. Many clients choose to book The Plan and The Budget together. They're complementary: The Plan gives you direction, The Budget gives you the financial confidence to act on it. Each session stands alone, but together they give you the complete picture.
-
Not at all - this is actually the best time. Getting clarity before you've committed time and money is exactly what this session is designed for. You don't need a fully formed plan. You need an idea and a willingness to be honest about where you are.
-
That's fine. Come as you are. The pre-call questionnaire will help me understand your situation before we speak, so we can use the session to untangle what's not clear and focus on what matters most.
-
It's a 20-minute check-in call - not a second full session, but a chance to review what you've done since we spoke, address anything that's come up, and adjust the plan if needed. Think of it as a built-in accountability moment.
-
Yes. Sessions take place on Google Meets, so location isn't a barrier. Payment is in GBP. If you have questions about currency or timing, get in touch before booking.
-
If you're not sure your event is viable yet, start with The Plan. If you already know what you want to do but can't make the numbers work, start with The Budget. If you're genuinely unsure, reach out and I can help you decide.
