Feedback from Renée’s Retreat Participants

For the last 25 years, Renee has been leading private and public retreats around the globe; she is on faculty at numerous world-renowned retreat centers such as Kripalu Center for Yoga & Wellness,  Esalen Institute , Omega Institute, 1440 Multiversity and The Art of Living Retreat Center. Read feedback on her highly popular virtual retreats here.

The retreat was wonderful – far beyond what I could have imagined or hoped.  I saw Renee’s photo in a magazine and impulsively signed up.  My wise self gave me the nudge.  I am so grateful I listened to my inspiration.  I came home with a new sense of sovereignty…such a gift.  Magic happened for me.  I am deeply grateful to Renee for creating that atmosphere that allowed that magic.  And I am deeply grateful for the new community of women that I can connect with moving forward. Thank you!!

“Renee has a powerful way about her. She takes you to places inside yourself you’ve never been and to other realms that are light-filled and mystical. And then she helps you bring it back to earth and weave it in to your daily life. Whole, integrated and a more alive/aligned version of you. She’s a masterful coach/teacher/model for how to live in the world as a woman and a spiritual being.”

Wow!! I was blown away by Renee’s Awakening Your Wild Soul retreat at Kripalu! I just sent this note to all my girlfriends: Want a weekend that encourages you to nurture your body, where you laugh, cry, dance, sing, color, massage your feet in a glorious oil, and where you see, recognize, and connect deeply to your true self? If even one of you will join me, I’ll return to do it again. And, again. Renee is a fully present, beautiful woman, who invites our own energy to soar and fill us to overflowing. The closest experience I have ever had to this was being with Shakti Gawain. I hope you’ll give yourself this gift.

“During the past 50 years, I have attended multiple workshops and retreats, most of which I have enjoyed. This one with Renee Trudeau outshines them all. What a powerful, inspiring presenter.”

“Renee really spoke to my soul and nourished my spirit. Being in a circle of supportive women, recognizing the importance of self-care and putting together a plan to make it happen was invaluable. Bravo!”

“I didn’t feel shortchanged by the amount of content. Great and difficult to balance and achieve, but she did it. Renee is one of the few presenters I have met who really connected 1-on-1 outside of the workshop. She was open, present and didn’t give the impression she was trying to escape the conversation. Brilliant!”

— Sue L.

“I very much enjoyed the pace—structured but not too busy. Removing myself from day to day “real life” to learn about self-care and be reminded that it’s necessary and not a luxury was simply life-changing.”

Chelsea H.

Madison M.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .   

“Renee opened my eyes to new ways to take care of myself! I now get that self-care is about befriending myself and listening/attuning to what I most need. This retreat was profound.” 

Adrianna C.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .   

“I was hesitant to come, I had all the excuses—‘My daughter has a cold. I shouldn’t spend the money right now. I have so much to do at home, it seems so selfish.’ This was calling to me and I’m so glad I answered to my higher self. This retreat was absolutely amazing! I feel renewed and am more able to live my life on life’s terms. I feel healed, held, loved and accepted by myself and the women in the circle. Renee is a gifted healer and teacher. I am leaving filled with gratitude and hope.”

 “The connection and sharing with other women was incredibly valuable. The sacred, safe space created and the tools given to us to bring home made this a rich and potent experience. Thank you Renee for sharing your love and being committed to teaching self-care.”

Rachel E.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

 “Renee Trudeau has saved me repeatedly; her books, her tools/techniques, and dang, merely her PRESENCE has been nectar for my struggling soul.”

“I just want to thank you so much for this amazing weekend retreat.  Your workshops and teachings are very insightful, healing, and profound. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. This retreat was one of the best investments/things I’ve given myself; it was “divinely perfect” timing too as I navigate this transition/stage of my life. I am looking forward to more retreats with you.”

“Thank you so much for an amazing experience. What a gift you have to share with the world in such an impactful way. Your retreats have the ability to change the trajectory of someone’s life which has a huge impact on everyone around them and all the individuals we encounter. A beautiful ripple effect is created…such a blessing. Thank you!!”

Andrea L.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .   

“Thank you so much for such a nurturing, supportive and loving weekend. I admire and value so deeply that you not only set such a positive example of good self-care, you so deeply practice what you ‘preach’ and that means a lot to me. This was my fifth time to Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health—and I have cherished every time I have visited. Although by far, I have received the most personal value from your self-renewal program/support.”
