      About this trip

      Nourish your perfect balance of meaningful connection and introspective time. 


      Nestle into the earth's embrace of 126 acres of lush forest with seven natural springs, just 25 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains.


      Breathe in fresh mountain air as you wander and hike through some of the most rich biodiversity in the country.


      Connect with highly sensitive people and introverts like you while having plenty of personal downtime to replenish.


      Harvest the seeds of intention you want to nurture as we begin to turn inward for the season.


      Support your sensitivity this fall with restorative yoga and yoga nidrā practices that deepen your connection to self.


      Learn traditional ecological knowledge and herbalism from Tyson Sampson, a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee.

      Melissa Renzi (she/her) is a Licensed Social Worker & Yoga Teacher who has been organizing retreats since 2016. She believes that highly sensitive introverts can travel and experience the world as it is without overwhelm when we have supportive structures that move at a slower pace and group agreements that remove social pressures. At the forefront of Melissa's vision is creating space for sensitive people to feel seen while uncovering their strengths as agents of healing for themselves and communities.

      It was a nice retreat with good food and fun people.
      By Gaye W for Portugal Retreat for HSPs & Introverts on Oct 10, 2023
      A truly sweet and deeply nourishing experience I didn’t know how much I needed. The structure of daily yoga and meals taken care of, plenty of down-time, comfortable accommodation and dreamy setting and opportunity for connection to self and others in a more natural and authentic way - such a rewarding gift Melissa and her support offer to those of us in need of a reset, release, reconnect, reinvent, reignite. The ability to create and maintain and hold space for participants to experience what they came for is a special gift. I will be taking the deep inner peace I found with me forward.

      This is my second trip with Melissa and was exactly what I needed! A beautiful location, the ability to choose my level of engagement, interesting food and lovely people made for a wonderful retreat. Melissa & Steph provided and created a welcoming atmosphere that let me relax after several years of high-intensity pressures. I cannot thank them enough for all of their work in putting this together and leading the group! Thank you! I will definitely be joining a future HSP & Introvert retreat.

      Melissa was a perfect guide for our HSP community. She went above and beyond to provide a fantastic experience. Many of us would not have dared taken on this adventure into a foreign country where we do not speak the language without a guide we could trust. Melissa brought us together for a life-changing opportunity to soak in the beauty, recharge and relax, and connect to the rich culture and people of Guatemala. I would highly recommend Melissa's retreats for introverts and highly-sensitive people who want the joy of travel and the security of a great guide who has their best interests at heart.

      This retreat was exceptionally well-organized, and all events and accomodations were top notch. Melissa's leadership and concern for our well-being and enjoyment was always evident. Every day was a positive, enriching and rewarding experience.
