Having a support system through your 50’s and beyond makes ALL the difference in how you experience the journey! Let’s explore this decade together with humor, wisdom, grace and power and be one another’s soft place to fall. 

Come circle up by the fire and enjoy warmth/light and heartfelt connection as we journey in to the dark winter. This group will be experiential–not content driven.

Some of the topics *we may* explore in a spacious, easy, relaxed way include:

• Sovereignty, self-care and cultivating an allegiance to yourself
• The body: befriending, redefining your relationship with and caring for the sweet 50+ body
• Creativity at mid-life and beyond: what is uniquely mine to do/express?
• Money/finances: money is energy-what is your relationship to the green stuff?
• Menopause, hormonal balancing, physical well-being: resource sharing
• Managing energy: how to build, cultivate and contain energy
• Support system: asking for help and creating an optimal support network for YOU
• Sex/intimacy/sexuality with yourself and others: in the 50’s— physically and emotionally
• Caregiving: parenting adult kids/revolving nest/caring for elder parents
• Career/reinvention: life purpose, meaning/fulfillment, work-life balance
• Nature: our deepening relationship to the natural world—why this is so relevant in our 50s and beyond
• Friendships: nurturing and cultivating our friendships (and when/how to release toxic ones)
• Mental health/loneliness: nurturing our emotional well-being, changing relationships & depression/anxiety
• The power of rest: how/why this is your best friend as you move in to the 3^rd chapter of life (+the science of rest)
• WILD: how to stay awake and alive and curious– in all areas of our lives (“do it differently!”)
• Spirituality at mid-life and beyond: nurturing your spirit, soul food, new tools, faith and greeting death
• Ancestral healing: is it mine or my grandmother’s?

When: Three-month program: Thursdays, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Renee’s cozy 1930’s home in downtown Brevard near the library.

Dates: Nov. 3, 10^th, Dec 1, 15^th,  Jan. 5 and 19^th, Feb. 9th (there will also be an optional, free 2023 personal retreat experience offered in December or January—date TBD as well as other spontaneous nature-based outings and movement/song circles included).

Who is coming: Women I have personally connected with who are soulful, alive, authentic, open, supportive and interested in having conversations that matter in a safe/confidential environment. I am calling in women in their 50’s  (but we’re being a bit flexible if someone is younger/older and really feels called to join).

Women who are signing up want to deepen their self-care practice and/or are in transition and in the process of re-imagining, envisioning, and crafting a new life (and possibly career) plan. I’ll offer my favorite self-care tools/practices related to the 50s and we’ll also explore resources for heightening self-awareness and befriending yourself.   This is a completely safe, confidential, circle of trust and we’ll be entering in to  agreements around sharing/privacy.

What you’ll experience:  A guided, structured fun/lively coaching format that will include: mentoring/support, small group and large group connection, meditation/stillness, journaling, body-centered practices to help you connect to your feminine power, time in nature, solo reflection dates and sometimes meditation/gentle movement/song.  I will follow my intuition and let the group experience guide me as to what you most need.

Additional benefits:  a 2023 personal retreat, spontaneous invite-only nature-based events, Ebooks of both of my life balance books ($40), registration to the Sovereignty Retreat ($99), registration to Embracing the Wild Unknown ($99) and the opportunity if you like to be entered in the drawing to receive an individual career or personal coaching session with Renee. You’ll also be in a private FB group for resource sharing and be invited to special Feckin’ 50’s invite-only events!

Location: A private home in downtown Brevard.  I’ll always have tea and chocolates! Please eat dinner before.

About Renee: As an internationally-recognized author/coach/speaker and retreat leader, I’ve been facilitating transformational experiences/groups/circles for women for 30 years and trained more than 450 therapists/coaches/leaders in 10 countries around the globe to lead sacred, women’s self-renewal circles. Knowing how to create potent group experiences that balance “being” and “doing” is one of my super powers! Additionally, I founded/managed a national boutique career coaching firm for 18 years and have helped thousands of women navigate life transitions, business launches and career changes. Read event testimonials. More on Renee at www.ReneeTrudeau.com/about.

Investment in yourself: For the 3 month program including the benefits above there is a sliding fee scale of $349-$599 total. This is half of what I’d typically charge for these programs but I want to make this highly affordable given how COVID has affected many of us financially. If you cannot afford the $599 fee, you pay a sliding fee amount (between $349-599) based on your current financial state. As a point of reference, my hourly coaching rate is $350.

Suggestion: place your hand on your heart, close your eyes and ask, “What is this type of support worth to me?” and decide what you feel you can/should pay.

To reserve your spot:  Please pay by Monday, Oct. 24th to ensure your spot; this is almost full. We have many women who are interested and our group size is being capped.

Payment: PayPal is preferred or you may write a check made out to “Renee Trudeau,” mailed to 159 W. Main St. #2373, Brevard, NC.  Make sure if you do PayPal you choose “send to a friend” and pay from your bank account—so they don’t take out additional fees. Much thanks!  If you need to pay half now and half the first night of the program, we can arrange this with prior request.  If you need to pay with a credit card on PayPal, please add 3%.  This is a great holiday gift to give/receive!

Refunds: After Nov. 3, there are no refunds for this group experience given it’s been offered at a 50%  discount, the group size is limited to 8 (and has a waiting list) and you also receive $300 in support resources/classes/books.  Thanks for understanding.

Preparation:  You’ll receive an email from me with details on how to prepare two weeks prior.

If you have any questions at all, please reach out—I really want to ensure this is a fit. It’s ok if you have to miss several meetings, but I’d like all to attend the first meeting.  I apologize if I don’t respond right away to your email questions—I’m jugging a lot on the home/work front right now.  COVID: We will not be wearing masks and while I am vaccinated, I will not be checking vaccination status.  We will be outside for part of each session as we’re able. This is an in-person experience and we do not have a Zoom option.
