Program Details

Are you ready to accept exactly who and where you are right now? Do you crave space for reflection, rest, and renewal? What if you stopped holding back and became 100% YOU?

Join Renée Peterson Trudeau for this deeply restorative, nurturing women’s retreat. Tap into the transformative power of self-care, become comfortable living in the wild unknown, and learn to:

• Slow down and access your Wise Self.
• Connect with your heart’s desire and life purpose.
• Cultivate self-renewal practices for uncertain times.
• Relax and connect with your needs, desires, and your body’s natural rhythms.
• Balance yin/yang energy and unleash your feminine power.
• Meditate to enhance peace and harmony in everyday life.

Enjoy authentic connection with like-minded women, explore a new way of being, and experience greater freedom, resiliency, and joy.

“During a woman’s life, she has the need to retreat, replenish, renew and re-energize. Renée created a safe and sacred space at the ‘New Way of Being’ Retreat and the weekend taught me how to better cultivate—and practice—much needed self-care. This experience allowed me to stop, listen, learn and further blossom. Thank you for all you do to support women Renée!”   —Carol O’Neil, Board Member, Kripalu Center for Yoga & Wellness, Lenox, MA

“Renée has the amazing ability to create a nurturing, sacred space that honors and celebrates each woman.  This retreat was transformative.  I now get how essential it is to take time to nurture myself.  I am still using what I learned at the Self-Renewal Retreat in my daily life.”  —Mary K., California
