Renae M. Dupuis
Grounded + Steady
A body-centered retreat to soften vigilance and rebuild your baseline from the inside out.
A free, virtual, come-and-go-friendly 3-day retreat for caregivers, helping professionals, and anyone whose body has been carrying too much for too long.
If your body feels braced, tired, buzzy, tense, restless, or like it never fully gets to stand down… this month’s Restoration Sessions are designed to help.
Over three gentle days, we’ll explore body-centered practices that help you identify early stress signals, settle the nervous system with compassion, and build support for sleep, nourishment, movement, and restoration, so your body isn’t carrying the whole load alone.
Camera optional • Come as you are • Choose the sessions you need

The JUNE Theme
June’s focus is Body-Centered Practices — especially around stress resilience and care for your body.
This month’s Restoration Sessions include simple practices, guided regulation, grounding tools, movement, sensory support, and restorative reflection. No deep prep required.
What Restoration Sessions Are
Restoration Sessions are three days of short, gentle, experiential sessions you can attend live or via replay.
Each session is held inside one of the four pillars of whole-person care:
Heart
Emotional Regulation + Healthy Relationships
Mind
Organization of Mind + Working/Learning
Body
Care for Body + Stress Resilience
Soul
Spirituality + Rest/Play
June centers on the Body pillar, while still supporting the whole person.
