It is time to transform our suffering into limitless joy.
I AGREE, register me for the retreat.This is the moment. Step out of your overstimulating life for a day off to take care of you.
Transform your life as a highly sensitive person:
- Learn practical tools you can apply to your life.
- Leave knowing you have worked on your self-healing.
- Become rejuvenated and recharged.
Do you have a keen imagination, rich inner life, and vivid dreams? Is time alone each day as essential as air? Do others call you too shy or overly sensitive? Are you a clinician who works with HSPs?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be a highly sensitive person, or HSP—more than 20% of us are. It is a valuable trait: many great artists and thinkers are HSPs, and we are generally highly conscientious and intuitive. There are also drawbacks: an HSP is easily overstimulated and more affected by a troubled past and present stressors.
Rich in wisdom, this online retreat is healing and restful, structured exclusively with HSPs in mind.

Retreat Schedule
Dr. Elaine Aron, psychologist, researcher, and author of many books on high sensitivity tells us that retreat and self-care are critical to a healthy life, and we HSPs need retreats to help us decompress and look into ourselves, to heal from the months (even years) of living in the dominant culture that is not designed for our sensitive brains and hearts.

Alane combines her keen knowledge of sensitivity with a treasure trove of strategies to address the many challenges this trait can present.
Her skill to hone in on each person’s unique experiences allows for a personalized feeling, even in a large group. Her warmth, grit, and humor help smooth the way, as we move towards the goal of clearing
our paths for increased creative expression, more productivity, and general happiness- otherwise known as thriving. I always come away with greater insight, more tools for challenges, and importantly, a joy of what the potential of this trait is about.

Alane Freund’s workshops are phenomenal!
She offers tools and techniques for HSP’s to navigate everyday situations with ease. Her workshops offer value to anyone dealing with how to create a calm, stress free environment and practice self-care.
She is knowledgeable, insightful, a good listener and a compassionate and caring teacher. She encourages and challenges participants to set boundaries, to be in control and empower themselves. Alane shifted my perspective on how to embrace being an HSP and how it enhances my life as a creative.

We are gifted and Alane has given me a huge opportunity to heal and see my sensitivity as a real gift!
I was struggling with being highly sensitive after a huge change in my life. Alane has helped me very much. Listening to her has been so helpful, and she has taught me all about living and thriving as a highly sensitive person. I haven’t meet her in person, but talking to her a bit and seeing her give time to others makes me admire her. I notice Alane loves what she does and is really into helping people know to survive and be happy as HSPs.
