If you’re a highly sensitive person like me, I don’t need to tell you how overwhelming the world can feel right now—how much we hold, how hard it can be to rest, and how rare it is to feel seen, safe, and supported.

If you’re a highly sensitive person like me, I don’t need to tell you how overwhelming the world can feel right now—how much we hold, how hard it can be to rest, and how rare it is to feel seen, safe, and supported.
That’s why I’m honored to share something that I think could be deeply nourishing for your nervous system, your spirit, and your sense of hope in this complicated political landscape:
The California Redwoods Retreat for Sensitive Women & Gender-Expansive People
Guerneville, CA | July 13–18, 2025
Led by Melissa Renzi—a longtime friend of Tiny Buddha and this month’s site sponsor—this retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself and nature, and build heartfelt connections with people who share your values.
You’ll stay just a short walk from an ancient redwood grove and spend your days engaging in gentle movement, expressive arts, reflective circles, and restorative time in nature.
You’ll be held in a space where your sensitivity is honored—not something to “fix,” but a powerful part of who you are.
And you’ll be supported in processing the emotional weight of this moment—grief, anger, confusion, or hope—with others who understand.
Think of it as a deep exhale for your body and mind with people who get it.

As someone who deeply values time in nature, restorative practices, and meaningful connection—but who’s chosen to forgo solo travel while my sons are so young—I share retreats like this so I can live vicariously through you!
If you’re looking to realign with what sustains you in these complex times, I highly recommend this grounding, healing experience.
There are still some shared spots available, and one private room with its own bathroom just opened up!
And if July doesn’t work for you, Melissa’s North Carolina HSP & Introvert Retreat is coming this fall—same soul-nourishing magic, different gorgeous setting.
