“My experience at the Illuminate Retreat was one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever given to myself!  I have found it to be essential for my growth to set aside quality time to focus on the light within that can be easily dimmed by stress, noise and the constant flow of communication that bombards our modern lives.  The beach is always a place where i feel closest to God.  Being able to access the healing rhythm of the ocean while practicing yoga and mindfulness with such a a gifted teacher was beautiful beyond explanation! Cathy’s power lies in her gentleness of spirit, her immense depth of knowledge and her ability to stay keenly attuned to the power of light no matter the circumstances. At the retreat she is able to walk you to the sacred place of self awareness and help you open the door to your own inner light and joy.     -Tracy

"Although, I have enjoyed yoga for many years, a multi-day retreat was a bit out of my comfort zone.  Nevertheless, I succumbed to the pressure of some very wise peers and jumped right in, not really knowing what to expect.  The moment I arrived and met Cathy, I knew I had nothing to fear, and in fact, reprimanded myself for not entering her orbit sooner.  Cathy is a wonderful teacher, soft spoken and gentle, but clear in her instructions and expectations.  She artfully guides participants through a practice that is, at once, seemingly organic and yet, ends up exactly where she intends.  Since the retreat, I have frequently revisited the lessons learned, and taken many moments of quiet reflection to express gratitude for Cathy. It is an experience that will inform my daily life for years to come. " ~ Meg
