Radiant
Heart
WOMEN'S RETREAT
JULY 21 - 24, 2022
4 DAY IMMERSION IN SOUTHWESTERN COLORADO
Breathwork, Meditation, Deep Transformation.
Imagine waking up before the sun in the healing forested mountains of Colorado. You pour some tea, take your seat in the cathedral–like meditation room with the sunrise streaming in over the altar. Meditation, mantra. The peaceful silence wraps around you like a cloak. You stay in beautiful silence as you take your place for morning breathwork and somatic practices, releasing long-held emotions and stories and pains… breaking free. You make your way to breakfast, a nourishing and clean spread of whole foods to support your healing body, mind, and heart. You head to the cedar sauna… then for a walk in the woods… then settle into the community room for uplifting and heart–centered connection before making your way to wisdom circle. As the sun sets that night, you sip your tea, and feel the lightness, the beauty, and the spaciousness of your radiant heart… finally given space to release, to speak, and to be heard.

MEET YOUR FACILITATOR:
Hi y'all! I'm Cat McElveen. I'm an Integrative Life Coach, modern mystic and spiritual guide. I hold certifications in NLP Therapy, 800+ Hours in registered yoga trainings, and meditation & breathwork certifications. I guide spiritually connected, sensitive and visionary souls who are ready to deepen their awakening journey. I have facilitated many retreats in both the US and abroad, bringing an easeful and open feel to my retreats that makes retreatants feel welcome and safe. The powerful breathwork, meditation & movement practice that I am bringing to the Radiant Heart Retreat is the practice that has totally transformed my life. After living in constant anxiety for 24 years, I was exhausted by my own pain. My fear, my total abandonment of my self, my obsessive people-pleasing and trying to live up to everyone's expectations. I was at the end of my rope. Then - I found Kriya yoga, breathwork, and somatic work. In India, I learned sacred wisdom about the mind, body and soul. I learned that my limitations that frustrated me so were simply conditioned programs lodged in my nervous system and my subconscious mind from years of absorbing ideas, experiences, and energies from societal, parental, and collective forces. I learned that I am capable of healing my soul through working with my subtle energy and my mind, in collaboration with God. My awakening process has not been easy, but it is the best decision I have ever made. I live consciously and deeply, with more trust in life and myself. I have the tools to clear old stories, heal my nervous system, and bring myself more peace and clarity. In this process, I have rediscovered my own power. At Radiant Heart, I hope to activate your own process of deep psychic and somatic healing, too.
I'm Cat.
The Retreat
Center
Sanctuary of The Inner Compass Retreat Center is an Art Park & Eco-Retreat located on 145 acres of forested landscape southwest of Denver in Sedalia, CO. The wooded property includes a fusion of leading-edge art installations, experiential outdoor recreation, mesmerizing zones and venues, delightful amenities, and open exploration.
Located about 50 minutes outside of Denver, Sanctuary of the Inner Compass is nestled in the beautiful forested foothills of Colorado. A large, open, airy retreat center with large rooms for gathering and practice, an open community area, and clean and beautiful bedrooms make the perfect retreat space. A cedar sauna nestled into nature, as well as newly renovated bedrooms and bathrooms make a luxurious accommodation for the Radiant Heart Retreat.
Hiking, walking, and biking trails weave throughout the property. During your free time, you are welcome to explore the beautiful land and stumble upon magnificent art pieces!
Ample parking is available on site, as well as first aid equipment, and a manager on duty to take care of any needs we may have during our stay.

Sanctuary of The Inner Compass, located in Sedalia, CO, is about 1 hour from Denver International Airport by car, or 45 minutes from the city of Denver by car. You can rent a car at DIA and enjoy the beautiful rural drive to the center, carpool with a local retreat attendee, or coordinate transportation with us at Radiate Retreats
This is totally normal and completely okay! Our facilitator, Cat, has been running retreats for years and has supported many retreat first–timers through this experience. You will not be the only one who has never been on retreat before, or doesn’t know anyone there. By the end of the retreat, you will have made lifelong friends. Doing something new that pulls us out of our comfort zones is part of a conscious life, and once you arrive, we will make you feel right at home.
Warm, sunny, GORGEOUS! You are in for lots of Vitamin D sunshine medicine, warm breezes, and gorgeous Colorado bluebird skies.
All dietary needs and food allergies will be accommodated by our retreat chef. All meals will be gluten–free and have dairy free options.

This retreat is for everyone and anyone. Come as you are! Whether you have been meditating for years or never sat on a meditation cushion, I will provide gentle and transformational instruction into the specific meditation technique we will be practicing over the retreat weekend. The breathwork practices are very powerful, and anyone can do them. You will be supported no matter what “level” you are at – in truth there are no levels!
