Details

The Catalyst Retreat was designed for women who are already on a journey of self-discovery and ready to go deeper, asking big questions and feeling the pull toward shifting something in their lives. Christine Raschke and Monique Pearson, Harvard Business School graduates with leadership backgrounds at Bain & Company, Meta, Amazon, and Walmart, bring decades of experience in tech, start-ups, and consulting to their work as executive coaches. They guide women through a uniquely curated analytical and somatic approach to transformation and growth - three-day journeys inward to explore your past, become present, and embody your truest self. Catalyst Retreats invite participants to: - Connect: Identify the patterns that once protected you but no longer serve you, and rediscover the unique qualities and strengths you may have forgotten or lost along the way. - Claim: Through curated coaching exercises, journaling, and guided inquiry, gain a deep understanding of who you are today and what truly matters to you. - Calibrate: Clarify what you want to bring forth in this next season of your life and take intentional actions to make it real. The weekend strategically combines analytical coaching with somatic practices like holotropic breathwork and sound healing in order to ignite the clarity of the mind and the deep-seated intelligence of the body. This will allow you to release what no longer serves you and deepen your sense of presence. It is a weekend of meaningful shifts and deep connection - connection with oneself, connection with nature, and connection with a powerful, curious and inspiring group of women.

Testimonials

info

I came to the Catalyst Retreat looking for clarity about my next career move, but what I found was something much deeper. I uncovered a vision for my life - not just work. Honestly it was life changing for me

Kate R., Partner at Consulting Firm, United States

The Catalyst Retreat was nothing short of life-changing. It created a space for deep healing and reconnection - to myself, to other women, and to something much greater. I left feeling grounded, expanded, and awake to my own power in a way I hadn’t felt in years.

Heather C., Founder & COO, United States

This was one of the most emotional but energizing and transformational experiences I have ever had. The incredible thoughtfulness, expertise and care that went into the design of this experience and Monique's and Christine's ability to bring that intention to life is a masterclass in itself.
