“Renee has a powerful way about her. With mastery and grace, she takes you to places within yourself you’ve never been before. Then, she helps you bring back the insights and illuminations you’ve harvested so you can weave them in to your daily life and become a more whole, integrated and alive/aligned version of you. She’s a masterful teacher and a model for how to live in the world as a sovereign woman and a spiritual being.” Lynne (read more testimonials)
Are you exhausted, overwhelmed and craving a nurturing like-hearted community? Are you in the midst of major life or career transitions and asking, “What’s next?” Would you like to cultivate a strong allegiance to yourself and learn to show up 100% YOU in all situations?
Having a support system makes ALL the difference in how you experience the journey! With humor and wisdom, we’ll cultivate our intuition, grow grace and step into our power. Enjoy compassionate mentoring, a powerful structured group coaching format, a community of like-minded women, nurturing support, personal empowerment and heartfelt connection.
I love to affirm and help other women shine! Join an amazing tribe of women from across Western North Carolina for a 10-week journey. I would love to hold space for you to incubate: a seed of an idea, a dream/vision, a creative project, a career change or a new way of being. When we encourage our sisters to shine, we all shine. When we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.
This program will be guided by Renee’s intuition and be highly experiential. Never done a women’s group with Renee? Some of the topics we may explore as we unpack our “sovereignty” include:
- The art/science of self-care and how to have your own back
- Cultivating feminine power & releasing the need to hold back or play small
- Creativity at mid-life and beyond: what is uniquely mine to do/express?
- Managing energy: how to build, cultivate and contain energy and say “no”
- Creating a support system: the art of asking for/receiving help and creating a personal and professional support network
- Friendships and partnerships: nurturing and cultivating and when/how to release toxic ones
- Belonging/loneliness: growing connection, nurturing our emotional well-being, exploring changing relationships & friendships
- The power of rest: how/why this is your best friend and essential in the second half of life (+the science of rest)
- Staying WILD: becoming more awake, alive and curious—in all areas of our lives (learn to “do it differently!”)
- Spirituality at mid-life and beyond: nurturing your spirit, spiritual self-renewal, connecting to your Wise Self
The journey will include curated recommendations and resources. Renee’s friends/colleagues/mentors are national experts & authors in the fields of women’s mental health, spiritual ecology, conscious aging, death and dying, ancestral healing, women’s sexuality, hormonal balancing in the second half of life, love relationships, the Enneagram as a tool for spiritual growth, shamanic wisdom, loving our bodies & more.
When: The “journey/incubator” will run September 12th-November 16th. Dates for scheduled meetings: Sept. 12, 26, Oct. 10, 17 and Nov. 7 and 16 for a one-day personal/meditation retreat. We meet from 6:30-8:30 p.m. There will also be an optional Renee organized meditation/centering retreat right after the election at the Cradle of Forestry (most likely on Nov. 16). You may miss a meeting, but you need to be at the first gathering.
**The group may also include pop-up invites to spontaneous nature-based outings and events specifically for this group. Does not include Wild Souls Movement classes. If an urgent health matter arises that affects us gathering, Renee may need to lead a session via Zoom but this is just a back-up.**
Where: A cozy, 1920s bungalow located in Downtown Brevard with a relaxing porch and an inviting fireplace.
Who is coming:
“There are many reasons I have been retreating with Renee for 15 years, but as an entrepreneur/creative, one of the biggest is the WOMEN she attracts: wow! Powerful, alive, real, soul-centered and heart-driven; many of my closest friends, peer mentors and women I turn to for sage counsel– I met through Renee. She models sisterhood like no other!” ~ Sarah (read testimonials)
