But when retreats are co-hosted, something different happens: the container deepens, participants feel more supported, and transformation becomes shared rather than hierarchical.In this episode, Dan Berger is joined by Christina Courtright Jenkins, April Millar, and Aleena Hill—co-founders of The Wise Woman World—to unpack why co-hosting retreats can dramatically improve safety, depth, and long-term impact.The conversation explores shared leadership, feminine containers, astrology-informed personalization, nervous-system regulation, and how multiple facilitators create resilience not just for participants—but for the facilitators themselves.Episode ThemesWhy co-hosted retreats create stronger containersShared power vs. hierarchy in facilitationThe role of feminine energy and cyclical rhythmsPersonalization at scale through astrology and somaticsNervous-system safety as the foundation for intuitionPre-retreat preparation and energetic investmentPost-retreat community and integrationChoosing the right co-hosts and complementary rolesChapters00:00 – Welcome and introduction01:18 – What Wise Woman World actually does02:17 – Who these retreats are for03:39 – Feminine cycles and life stages05:16 – Masculine vs. feminine energy06:59 – Being held and fully taken care of07:30 – Personalization through astrology09:23 – What facilitators experience during retreats11:29 – Pricing, value, and transformation14:15 – Astrology as meaning-making, not prediction17:55 – Marketing retreats through word of mouth19:54 – Why co-hosts multiply impact21:27 – Post-retreat community and continuity23:51 – Defining roles within a facilitation team24:38 – What to look for in a co-host26:25 – Nervous system healing and intuition29:54 – Advice for new retreat organizers31:00 – Where to learn moreAbout the Guests – The Wise Woman World...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bOBTiJs7vh0BXESSAuKMgrIiALFaXvXWvSKoFPBd1Co/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85ZDE1/NmMxYmI2MTM4YzRk/ZWI5ZmE3ZTc4MmYx/OGUwMy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
