RECOMMENDED RESOURCES TO SUPPORT YOU IN MOVING FORWARD:
- Wanting immediate support for cultivating and deepening your self-care practice? Consider registering for Permission Granted: The Art of Self-Renewal or Embracing the Wild Unknown: Self-Care for the Second Half of Life. You can view all our online courses here (these self-study courses are available for download 24/7 and you can listen to them on walks, in a bath or in your car!).
- Special offer: Join our global community of women supporting women, become a RTA-Certified Facilitator and lead groups/retreats for women in your community! We’re offering a $100 off training/certification through July 31st. Our RTA-Facilitator Liaison Jen LeViseur can be reached at facilitators@reneetrudeau.com and is happy to answer questions once you’ve reviewed the program online. We promote this program organically through WOM and need more Facilitators! Please consider this opportunity and see if you’re being called to share the power of self-care & Sisterhood with women in your area. (Facilitator training also includes a one-on-one coaching session with Renee and can be used to focus on your career or life direction, your business or how to integrate your Personal Renewal Groups into your work.)
- You can learn more about my speaking here. I do a lot of presentations, custom workshops and one-day retreats for women’s organizations, leadership groups and companies focused on self-renewal and work-life balance. (This is my primary work.)
- View all retreats here. I’ll be at Esalen Sept. 29-Oct. 1 and Kripalu Oct. 27-29 and these are filling up quickly; I would love to see you and your friends/family again. All of my retreats are different due to time of year/group/where I am. Note: the lodging for Kripalu retreats is limited and fills up months in advance; we often have women who are turned away due to lodging being sold-out so it’s ideal to reserve your room now.
- Career support! We are also offering $50 off all career coaching packages with our senior coach, Angela through Aug. 31st. Email aloeb@careerstrategists.net for a free initial phone consult. Angela works with men and women at all life stages: college-age kids/young professionals, mid-senior level professionals and those planning for retirement or re-entering the work force. Gift certificates available.
- Receive daily inspiration/support on our global Live Inside Out Facebook page where I share real-world ideas for slowing down and living more intentionally (always great dialogue happening with the members in this tribe). You are now subscribed to my weekly Live Inside Out blog that comes out Tuesdays, but you may unsubscribe, at any time.
- Here is my reading list of recommended books here! More recommended resources in my two books.
ADDITIONAL RETREAT RESOURCES I PROMISED:
- Music: Friday—Opening, I played Ray Man Shabad (Snatam Kaur) played So Much Magnificence by Deva Premal after iRest Yoga Nidra Friday night (www.irest.us). I played Parakshakti by Wah! for shaking. I love all music by www.snatamkaur.com and www.devapremalmiten.com Mandalas can be found on Amazon and here.
- My dear friend and our guest presenter Sat. was www.jurianhughes.com who offers retreats/trainings. The Israeli chant I love that we sang is called Return Again.
- The amazing “queen quality” essential oil blends are from my friend Kimberly at Body Mantra Blends (tell her we sent you-check out the custom blends she does; a year ago I got one for “Embodying 50” on my birthday). I love her Divine Feminine and Womb Power blends; use discount code: REN517 through 7/31 for 20% off when ordering. You can purchase Rose Essence tincture that I use daily for heart opening/to lift my mood (amazing) from my friend Ellen with Texas Herbal Institute at www.ezherbs.net (email Ellen with any questions-all her products are top notch). The lumps of love can be ordered from Donna Klein at donnalynn65@earthlink.net. Tell her I sent you!
- I read poems: The Friend by Mark Nepo; The Guesthouse by Rumi and There is a Vitality from Martha Graham.
- Dance!! Check out www.nianow.com, Quoya, 5 Rhythms Dance and Journey Dance and Let Your Yoga Dance. Google these programs in your area or go to their sites and search by city. Qi gong-check out Robert Peng and Yang Yang (national) and search for classes in your city.
- More articles/exercises on balancing yin/yang energy on my blog and here (but much more on this in Nurturing the Soul of Your Family) –recommended resources for men around yin/yang balancing in NSOF too.
- I recommend taking a personal planning retreat every 90 days. From stillness comes discernment. Find more career exercises for a personal retreat on CareerStrategists.net/inspiration (my sister company).
