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. If you’re searching or hurting or just feel the need to find peace, this retreat may be something for you.
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.”
What to Expect at a soul restoration retreat
Using an expanded form of the Soul Restoration curriculum originally developed by Melody Ross, you will be taught skills and strategies to change the way you think and behave, and the stories you tell yourself about the experiences you have.
You will learn how changing these thoughts, beliefs, stories, and behaviors will change how you feel.
Through the use of evidence-based modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neuroscience, Art Therapy, Yoga, Journaling, and Forest Bathing, you will have the tools you need to change your life, not just for a week or a month or a year…but for the rest of your life.
Your soul will be restored.
You will be empowered to own your journey towards mind wellness.
