HSP Colorado Weekend Retreats
Shorter retreats held in Ft. Collins, Colorado.
The 4th Colorado HSP Retreat
September 27, 28, 29, 2021
Nature as Teacher & Healer full-day outdoor excursion.
What will I learn at the Colorado HSP Retreat?
like-minded HSPs (a magical experience in and of itself) as we explore and begin to understand and integrate:
- the six pathways to empowerment I’ve taught and shared with dozens of clients over the years
- where you are on the journey to empowerment as an HSP, and how to stay present with the challenges and gifts you can expect along the way
- what overstimulation can feel like and learn strategies to return to your own “optimal level of arousal”
- an opportunity to experience a daily practice of what it means to live an Authentic Sensitive Life by focusing on needs, not approval, and trusting your own process always asking: “what is there for me to learn in this moment?” and perhaps most importantly, answering the question: “what do I need in this moment?”
Of course, all your questions about Sensory Processing Sensitivity will be answered and you will gain a working, lay person’s knowledge of the science and latest research about our trait.
I hope you can join me in September when Colorado’s Autumn will be displaying its full glory.

There has been a lot of interest and inquiry about staying in the house – although there are only 3 bedrooms: 1 King with private bath; 2 Queen with shared bath. Maximum occupancy would be 6 if there were two people in each room. One room has definitely been spoken for … so if you are interested let me know ASAP, so I can reserve a bedroom for you.
Yes. Please read the article: Counseling the Highly Sensitive Person and ideally watch the documentary: Sensitive, The Untold Story. There will be time for Q & A about both of these.
