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: 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.
