The purpose of the Business Edition is to:

WHAT’S NEW on All About Retreats?
AllAboutRetreats.biz is where all of our retreat and workshop listings reside. We welcome teachers, facilitators and team leaders to post their own listing and images at really low rates… self service = lower rates! We are currently using PayPal to receive payments. Once a listing is posted, our administrator reviews and then approves it.
All About Retreats Members are encouraged to use this user friendly access!
Retreat and Conference Center managers and owners:
Renew or upgrade your AAR Membership to include access to aar.biz. Why? Two good reasons:
- Promote the programs you are hosting at your retreat center to boost enrollment
- Add value to your services to groups by using your access to AAR.biz in this way: You can offer promotional support to any open enrollment facilitator, which adds value to the group booking at your center over another venue. You can post a comp listing for their program on AAR.biz. Not sure how to do this? Contact us for details!

I’m part of a non-profit group opening a retreat center in Connecticut. We will have roughly 45 rooms/90 beds. Is there any accounting and operating software geared to retreat centers that you could recommend? Thanks.
