Project Parameters
C.lab Branding & Design direction
- see attached invitation for our upcoming retreat
- a few Keynote slides, including the 5 movements of transformation which is a foundational map I created for C.Lab. The 5 movements have since been revised, but this will give you the general idea. (The other foundational map I created for C.Lab, I call 3 Centers, 3 Circles, 3 times).
I designed the logo, the retreat invitation, and the Keynote slides. It's been years since I've done any design work. And I wrote the copy. Overall I'm happy with what I came up with and it has been serving us well. I like the general direction, I think it could be better.
C.Lab Positioning - I'm still getting clear on how I would like to position C.Lab but here's some websites, mostly of others in the space, that I appreciate in one aspect or another. Most are medicine retreat focused, which is an aspect of C.Lab, but I'm not sure I want to make it the centerpiece.
Odyssey: https://www.odysseypbc.com - Well designed and well written.
Fetzer: https://fetzer.org/our-mission/ - Well designed and copy - love the before and after imagery.
Omya: https://www.omya.life - Design is ok. Like the tagline - "Call to life"
Lotus & Vine: https://www.lotusvinejourneys.com - my friend Springs org. Design is good, not great.
Beckley: https://www.beckleyretreats.com - I have a lot of respect for what Beckley is doing and the guy who's running it. Website design is ok, not great.

Initial project discovery and planning call to understand C-LAB's vision, requirements, and budget parameters. Covers retreat offerings, future platform needs (LMS, community, membership), AI integration strategy, and phased development approach.
Core website development for C-LAB including retreat program information, one-on-one session scheduling, payment processing integrated with nonprofit structure, and Tally registration system integration. Focus on beautiful custom design with AI-augmented development. Budget range $5,000-8,000 with phased approach starting with high-value foundational features.
Future development of online courses (free resource library and paid content), community platform similar to Mighty Networks/Circle for education and community space, custom membership system, and advanced integrations. This represents phase 2+ development beyond initial website, to be scoped and budgeted separately as C-LAB grows and additional funding becomes available.
Send meeting summary with helpful links and resources
January 7, 2026
Follow up from discovery call including links to IRIS blog on AI, examples discussed, and any relevant resources mentioned during conversation
Develop formal proposal with phased development options and budget estimates
January 10, 2026
Create proposal outlining different website and platform development options with various phased development pathways to accommodate $5,000-8,000 budget range. Include options for core website features (retreat info, scheduling, payments, Tally integration) and clearly separate future platform development (LMS, community, membership). Emphasize low-hanging fruit approach with maximum value for minimum initial effort.
Review proposal options and determine feasible phased development approach
January 15, 2026
Review James's proposal to understand different development pathways and pricing. Determine what's financially feasible given $5,000-8,000 budget range and upcoming transition to single income household. Consider phased approach starting with core website features and expanding functionality over time.
Provide detailed availability schedule after January 12th for planning conversations
January 13, 2026
After returning to Costa Rica on January 12th, provide James with available times for detailed planning and next steps conversations. Schedule will be more open after completing Portland immigration interview trip and Illinois family visit.
