The best version of your relationship is not buried under to-do lists, routines, and unspoken frustrations. It is waiting for the right environment to come back to life. Renovo Retreats creates that environment by combining the expertise of licensed marriage and family therapists with the beauty and freedom of unforgettable destinations.
Founded by Susan Pennington, LMFT and Michele Haynes, MA, LMFT, Renovo Retreats are not typical vacations and they are not therapy sessions. They are intentionally designed experiences where real connection happens naturally, guided by professionals who understand how relationships actually work. Whether you are here to strengthen a partnership, reconnect with yourself, or deepen a bond with your grown child, every retreat is built around one idea: when you step outside your everyday life, you create space to grow in ways you simply cannot at home.

You do not need to be in crisis to invest in your relationships. You do not need permission to take care of yourself. And you do not need to wait for the "right time" because it will never feel perfectly convenient.
Renovo Retreats exist for people who are ready to stop going through the motions and start building something that actually feels alive.
Most retreats offer either relaxation or personal development. Renovo delivers both because our founders understand that real growth does not happen in a conference room. It happens when you feel safe, inspired, and free to be honest.
Susan Pennington, LMFT and Michele Haynes, MA, LMFT bring decades of combined experience in marriage and family therapy to every retreat they design. That clinical expertise shapes everything from the communication exercises to the way each day is structured. But you will never feel like you are in a therapy session. You will feel like you are on the trip of a lifetime with guidance that makes it mean something.
Every retreat is intentionally small to keep the experience personal and the connections real. You will explore new lands, new cultures, new foods, and new surroundings while doing the kind of meaningful work that only happens when you step outside your comfort zone and into something extraordinary.
Every Renovo retreat is thoughtfully curated to balance structured growth with genuine enjoyment. While each retreat is unique to its destination and audience, you can expect:
