As the founder of Kendra E. Newman Planning Strategies, I am dedicated to crafting retreats that inspire, restore, and redefine rest as a vital part of success. With over 25 years of project management and event planning expertise, I specialize in helping leaders and visionaries host impactful retreats where they can fully immerse themselves in the experience without the stress of managing logistics. My mission is simple: to create spaces where rest and connection take center stage.

Through my comprehensive retreat planning and concierge services, my team and I ensure that every detail is flawlessly executed; freeing hosts to focus on their purpose and participants. My approach is deeply rooted in the belief that luxury is selfcare and rest is a revolutionary act—one that empowers individuals to recharge and show up for themselves and their communities in more meaningful ways.

Whether planning transformative retreats or advocating for rest as a birthright, my work embodies the principles of intentional living and cultural enrichment. If you’re ready to reclaim rest and create extraordinary experiences, let’s make it happen together.

My life's work revolves around helping people get their ideas out of their head and into reality. I call it Dreaming Aloud and Living In Color. It's a lifestyle, legacy, and livelihood (in that order) approach that will help us achieve our life desires and stay void of hustle culture.
