Multi-step user flow (personal info, motivation, retreat goals, location preference, etc.)

Optional file upload (e.g., CV or personal statement)

Automatic, professionally designed email confirmations

Integration with a simple, structured CRM (e.g., Airtable, Notion) for GDPR-compliant management
