Melissa offered a retreat which was a wonderful balance of relaxation and exploration. The retreat center was exceptional! Was easy to get lost in nature and incredible views.

Fantastic retreat in a lush hardwood forest with a spring-fed stream and beautiful mountain-top views. Melissa created a safe space for participants to share what's on their mind and in their heart, within a circle of people who listen deeply and honor each other's stories and experiences. Her yoga classes are accessible and restorative for all body-types. This is my third retreat with Melissa and I'm looking forward to more in the future!

Having the chance to be the recipient of caregiving, instead of being the caregiver, was a very welcome change! Thanks to Anjali for all the wonderful, nourishing meals she provided. All of the women in the retreat were such caring souls, it was an honor to be among them and soak up all of their warmth and support as well as provide support to others as well. The lively game of Uno was also a lot of fun! :-) My favorite discussion topic was "Cultivating Hope", as many of the other retreat members contributed their thoughts which really helped me to feel less hopeless about our current political climate. Thank you, Melissa, for providing this opportunity.

I have never been in an environment so calming, welcoming, and nourishing as this retreat in Virginia led by Melissa Renzi. She has a big heart for creating an atmosphere where there is ample space to process and be in caring community with others. Her yoga classes were incredibly strengthening, calming and practical for all types of bodies. The meals created by Anjali were some of the most delicious and nutrient dense and each was prepared with a lot of love. I hope to return to another of Melissa's retreats, as the investment I made to attend returned so much to me in terms of making new friends, the beautiful art I got to create while there, and overall a huge calming reset to my frazzled nervous system as a busy working wife and mom. The setting in nature with the views and hot tub contributed to the beautiful experience. I could go on and on about how much I enjoyed and took away from the retreat. Hearty thanks to Melissa and Anjali!

I've had the pleasure of traveling with Melissa on several retreats and truly look forward to more in the future. Melissa thoughtfully and intentionally plans these retreats. The first time I traveled with Melissa, I had never experienced being with people similar to me and it was life changing. My nervous system was able to calm down, possibly for the first time ever. Melissa chooses the most beautiful locations with people who care for the ecosystem, the food is always amazing, the experiences always meaningful, and the conversations are real and authentic. Plus, these's so much laughter-that alone is worth it! Melissa has a gift of holding a safe space where people feel they can show up as themselves and it is magical. I highly recommend you sign up, you won't regret it.
