Retreat Overview

“Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.” — Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Are you craving stillness, rest and the invitation to just BE? Do you long to reconnect with your Wise Self? Are you desiring authentic community, nurturance and renewal? Based on my highly popular
Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health self-care retreats, I have designed a deeply restorative virtual retreat experience just for you. Learn the art/science of self-renewal as you:
- Cultivate self-compassion and self-acceptance for exactly where you are
- Rest in stillness and receive the gifts that come from being quiet
- Enjoy a long, luscious Yoga Nidra (called yogic sleep) session for deep relaxation; learn more here
- Relax and reconnect with your needs, desires, and your body’s natural rhythms
- Meditate together for enhanced peace and harmony
- Enjoy song, poetry and deep stillness
- Balance yin/yang energy and access your feminine power
- Experience spiritual renewal and access new tools to nurture and fortify your soul
We are exhausted from 2026. It was one for the history books for many of us. One of the essential strategies for mitigating stressful times is DEEP REST. Rest restores our energy levels, helps us process, integrate and re-calibrate and it’s essential to creating sustainability in a world that never slows down. Schedule this time for yourself now—a wonderful gift to give or receive.
This retreat is for women of all ages and life stages. There will NOT be break-out rooms to support a more contemplative feel. There will be a replay available.

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 virtual retreat testimonials)
Ideal for women at all life stages, especially those in transition or asking, “What is uniquely mine to do?” 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.”

Format:
Trust me. I have 30 years experience in creating transformational self-renewal experiences. You’ll experience meditation/journaling, poetry/song, nourishing connection, and a long Yoga Nidra deep relaxation session. Expect to leave feeling deeply restored, renewed and calm. After the retreat, recording of our Zoom session will be available for you to download and revisit.

Only $79 (early bird rate, then goes to $99). Includes an electronic copy of Nurturing the Soul of Your Family ($20 value) and inclusion into the Renee Trudeau Self-Care Sisterhood inner circle. Note: Renee’s one day retreats are typically $350. Replay will be good for one year.

My beautiful creative, musician mama Juliana (Dec. 20th, 1939–March 30th, 2000) with little Renee (age 1) in Houston, TX. Every year I offer a deep rest virtual retreat in honor of my mother who taught me much about the gifts that come from going inward.
