Program Details

Do you long to reconnect with your wild soul? Are you in transition and asking, “What is uniquely mine to do?” Would you like to learn to cultivate an allegiance to self and be 100% you in all situations?  Transformational coach, author and master retreat facilitator Renee Trudeau has designed a deeply restorative, nature-based self-renewal retreat just for women.  Experience how to:

  • Awaken your feminine power and learn daily practices for cultivating and harnessing this energy.
  • Ignite your alive-ness: strengthen and trust your intuition so you can feel more awake and in flow with life.
  • Explore the “Goddess Life” (and what that means for you) and find your work/play/rest sweet spot!
  • Speak your truth and awaken your essence through dancing, community, singing and ritual.
  • Unleash your creativity and learn about the alchemy and power of regenerative rest.
  • Anchor in the art/science of self-care: learn how to cultivate your desired state of being.
  • Rest in stillness, nature, meditation, Yoga Nidra and learn Renee’s favorite practices for peace and well-being.
