Awakening Your Wild Soul: A Women’s Self-Renewal Retreat
Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, Berkshire Mountains, MA
April 26-28th
“A woman in harmony with her Spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself ”
“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere.” -Buddha
Are you in transition and asking, “What is uniquely mine to do?” Permission is granted to practice the art of extreme self-care.
Join transformational coach, author, and master retreat facilitator Renée Trudeau for a deeply restorative, nature-based, self-renewal program just for women. Reconnect with who you are, learn grounding and regulating practices for navigating the unknown, and learn to cultivate sovereignty and let your light shine.
You will experience how to:
Awaken your feminine power and learn to cultivate and harness this energy through daily practices.
Speak your truth and unleash your wildness through ritual, dancing, and singing.
Explore the “goddess life” and find your sweet spot in work, play, and rest.
Feel more in flow—tend to your soul, ignite your aliveness, and strengthen your intuition.
Embrace the art and science of self-care and cultivate your desired state of being.
Rest in stillness, nature, and yoga nidra—and learn about the power of slowing down and doing less. Enjoy authentic connection with soulful, heart-minded women of all ages as you explore new ways of being and experience greater freedom and joy.
NOTE This program is for women only, at all life stages. No prior yoga experience needed.
“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.” –Lynne
**Ideal for women at all life stages, especially those in transition. Renee has been coaching, supporting, empowering and nurturing women through every stage of life for more than 25 years. She invites you to “Come as you are.”**
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! Creative, alive, authentic, 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)
To fully share our gifts and respond to our unique calling, we need to learn to deeply resource ourselves. We must learn to cultivate sustainability for self. Join women at all life stages from throughout the United States to experience deep connection, community and new friendships! We love that our retreats attract women ages 18-85 and many bring their sisters, daughters and grandmothers.
