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.

Fabulous experience! The facilitators were wonderful and put together an amazing program, with just the right ratio of activities to downtime. The setting was beautiful, with terrific food (and I'm not a vegetarian) and nice accommodations in an absolutely beautiful setting. The creative activities were fun, the yoga was challenging, and the conversations and new friendships are priceless! I'll cherish this experience forever!

I am very grateful to Melissa and Steph. The Retreat was everything I could have hoped for. Meaningful connections were made in a beautiful, natural environment which was perfect for relaxation and retrospection.

Our Portugal retreat was the trip of a lifetime! Melissa thoughtfully scheduled our week to balance between rejuvenation and experience of the local culture. The retreat centre selected was gorgeous, the food, delicious, and the staff, professional. Highly recommended. Will travel with Melissa again :)

Fantastic trip! Excellently executed, well-balanced between activities and rest time. No pressure to show up at all activities. Beautiful setting! Excellent food!! A-MAZING group of women attending. Steph and Melissa were talented, caring trip leaders. Thank you!!
By Nikki H for Portugal Retreat for HSPs and Introverts on Oct 07, 2024
Melissa and Steph led a fabulous retreat—masterfully planned and executed. It’s crystal clear that Melissa knows and respects her intended audience. There was plenty of room for social engagement with zero pressure to do so if you weren’t feeling it. The descriptions of what to expect were spot on—educational and fun activities with time to process and enjoy. Best of all, I just know that good people attract good people—“kindhearted and resilient” as a fellow participant put it. Melissa’s work to build community one retreat at a time is making the world a better place. I’m filled with gratitude for her efforts.
