Your Host
Wende Whitus
Writer, Speaker, & Location Scout at Personal Retreat Day.
Charlotte, NC, United States
Most workdays find me busy producing corporate and commercial videos or scouting for the perfect location for films and TV. My “side” passion is teaching others how to maximize their potential by setting aside one Personal Retreat Day each month for inner conversation & renewal. I’ve also been a writer, blogger, tutor, office manager, massage therapist, and a missionary (in France!) My hobbies include reading, yoga, walking, logic puzzles, and of course setting aside time for a Personal Retreat Day once a month. I’ve been married to the best man in the Universe for 30 years. We have two lovely grown daughters and a neurotic chihuahua mix named Daisy.
About this FieldTrip
This FieldTrip will help you design and implement a monthly Personal Retreat Day. You’ll learn how setting aside one day per month for inner conversation and renewal can dramatically impact your productivity and creativity!
We’ll discuss the benefits of taking a regular PRD, what it is, and how to structure your retreat time. Iâll guide you through a powerful personal retreat activity to help you evaluate the past month and look ahead to whatâs next. We’ll also have plenty of time to share ideas and for Q&A.
About your Host
I’ve personally benefitted from taking regular PRDs for over 8 years. I love telling people about the impact it’s made on my life, and teaching others how to create their own PRD habit.

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŚâ in conversation.
Not vibing?
Itâs 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
