Dear Friend,
 
"Self-care is not about self-indulgence, it's about self-preservation."--Audre Lorde Do you want to reconnect with who you are? Are you in career or life transition? Do you crave time for quiet reflection, rest and renewal?

Join us for the Fall Women's Self-Renewal Retreat with life balance expert/author Renee Peterson Trudeau, October 2-4 at The Crossings in Austin.
 
De-stress, refresh and rejuvenate in a nurturing, empowering and supportive environment. Explore the transformative power of self-care and nourish your body and soul. Take time to slow down, nurture your inner life and emotional well-being and live in the present moment. Enjoy quiet reflection and get in touch with your needs and desires. Women of all ages are welcome!
 
This retreat can help you:

  • Explore your heart's desire and soul's purpose through powerful exercises
  • Tap into your feminine power with nationally-recognized music/movement divas Sara Hickman and Dr. Deb Kern
  • Understand how to quiet your mind and learn ideas for daily spiritual renewal
  • Learn how to integrate physical/emotional/spiritual self-care into your daily life
  • Rest, relax and re-connect with your body's natural rhythms
  • Connect, share and build friendships with like-minded women at various life stages
 
Hear what past attendees have said and click here to register today (early bird rate ends 9/15 and this retreat always sells out)! Email info@reneetrudeau.com or call 512-459-6700 with questions.
 
If this resonates, we would love to have you and your family members and friends join us for this very special weekend.
 
P.S. Check out other upcoming events, including a FREE Sept. 17th Personal Renewal Group Sampler Class via phone and an October (date TBA) Career Mojo workshop! Due to intense demand, Renee will offer one more Mojo workshop this fall!
 
Warmly,
Renee Trudeau
