Kat has created this environment where it was really safe to share things that I’ve been struggling with and let go of things that I wasn’t ready to let go of. I created space in my life to find out what is important to me and focus on those things. I can’t tell you how impactful it’s been on my life. I found progress in work and I got back into reading—It’s really improved my life.

I came to the retreat weighed down and I am leaving feeling so inspired, with a set of tools to help me when I go home. Those tools are so important given what I carry.
The activities we did at this retreat were freeing, cleansing, and nourishing for the body and soul. The unexpected freeing of baggage was hugely helpful. I will continue to use the information and tools provided at this retreat forever.
If you’re searching or hurting or just feel the need to find peace, this retreat may be something for you.
I loved every aspect of this retreat, mostly due to Kat’s gift of healing and wisdom. It was a great week, with a great group of women—The best decision I ever made.

If you’re looking to restore the love and compassion you have for yourself I would highly, highly recommend the Blue Blanket Soul Restoration Retreat. This has been the most life-changing experience for me.
All the tools, the resources, and the bonding that I’ve experienced–I’m truly going to be carrying all of this with me when I leave here.
This retreat was probably the best gift I could have given myself.

“Recently, when I was experiencing devastating depression and going through an excruciatingly difficult transition in my life, I was introduced to Kat and The Blue Blanket, and I can safely say that was one of the most important moments of my life, because Kat has been nothing short of an angel in my life. She will be a blessing to you if you feel sad, depressed, or lost.
If you can only do one thing for yourself today because you are feeling so low, I hope you will reach out to Kat at The Blue Blanket. It will change your life. She will come into the darkness and bring so much light and kindness and love and understanding and help you in the ways you want and need. She has an indescribable magic in how she can reach into people’s hearts and help them heal and get back on their feet.”

“The Soul Restoration Retreat at The Blue Blanket gave me the most amazing opportunity to experience sisterhood and healing and growth. Kat created the most beautiful, safe space for me to mature and learn and grow. I was able to open myself up to the possibilities, and reach for joy and fullness in my life.”
Why Does The Blue Blanket Exist?
After 20 years helping individuals, families, groups and communities improve their mental health, Katherine King created The Blue Blanket Inc. in response to the increased demand for help in communities.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a powerful track record of restoring mind wellness for hundreds of clients, Katherine brings her skills, experience, motivation, and heart to The Blue Blanket.
“The recognition that I had the ability to help people was the call to action I needed to expand this impact to many more people. That is how my journey towards creating a national center for mental health treatment began.
Guiding people back to mental wellness is the first step on the path to empowering them to live their best life; it is my passion, it is my goal, and it is the legacy that I will leave for future generations.”
Just as a blanket was created out of necessity, so too was the creation of The Blue Blanket. That necessity is our shared mental health crisis, borne out by the data that touches all of us:
- Suicide was the leading cause of death in people ages 10-34 in 2022 (CDC)
- Suicide increased 30% between 2000 and 2020 (CDC)
- 21% of adults experienced mental illness in 2022. That’s 1 in 5 or 50 million Americans (NAMI)
- 24% of adults reported symptoms of depression in 2022 (U.S. News & World Report)
- Anxiety affected 40 million adults in the U.S. in 2022 (ADAA)
- 66% of the U.S. workforce experienced burnout in 2022 (Forbes)
- 89% of HR/Benefits leaders say mental health support is a high priority (AMA)
