OUR INTENTIONS

Catharsis Collective Retreats was created out of my entire life experience: all of my suffering, my many rebirths, and all of the lessons I have learned along the way. I offer all of these services in my private practice and I see miracles in my clients every week! By putting all of my skills into a retreat format we are given the gifts of time to rest and reflect as well as the profundity of connecting with other aligned humans.

All of us will go through the darkest of storms in our lives and it is my purpose. joy, and honor to help you find your rainbow through it all. You don't have to, and shouldn't, do this soul work alone. You deserve to be heard, seen, and held by people who accept and love you unconditionally. You deserve to know things and how to care for yourself in every sense. In my travels, I have observed people entering retreat spaces feeling unprepared and uninformed and coming home from them feeling more confused, abandoned, and unsure of how to proceed.

We are here to provide a well rounded transcending experience where you will enter feeling loved and ready to create and sustain long lasting changes in your life. Our intention is for you to leave as your true authentic self - you won't feel different, you will say " I AM different".

Thank you for being here and allowing us to be part of your transformations, we take our roles and your care very seriously and we are honored that you've chosen Catharsis Collective as your place to heal. We loved you on sight!!! Now get out there and love yourselves!!!!

Love, Caitlyn

“Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.” - Margaret Mead

A child of divorce, I grew up with my mom and little sister in the suburbs of Boston and from the beginning I knew there was something extraordinary in store for my life other than mundane bullshit.

My adolescence was the foundation of my unusual path of growing up. My eating disorders paired with suicidal depression caused me to be institutionalized 3 times in high school. During that time, I also lacked any respect towards authority and I challenged everything by acting out in high risk behaviors. For my own “safety”, the state forced me into the foster care system where I was exposed to more trauma through witnessing violence, drug use, and becoming the victim of sexual assault by one of my group home directors. These experiences taught me how our broken systems fail our children. However living with all of these unique and suffering kids helped enhance my compassion and understanding for all people. I love how complex and dynamic we are!

Despite 25+ years of therapy and adopting an immaculate lifestyle, I still suffered from frequent bouts of hard core depression and panic that affected my income and relationships as well as a vicious sex addiction and 2 autoimmune diseases that packed on more guilt and shame. None of this made sense to me; I KNEW there had to be something better than THIS. My intuition was right- Everything changed when I found plant and breath medicines…. And my tribe.

I created Catharsis Collective during the most difficult and rewarding time of my life. The collective has served me hard lessons, shed light on my blind spots, tore me down, and helped build me back up. While solitude is essential to finding many answers within, I have discovered that it's through my relationships with people that I have been able to heal through power of connection. The people I have met on spiritual retreats have taught me as much as the plant medicine.

Although I take my work very seriously, I also exude a childlike playfulness and quick wit that lightens up the heavy muck of the process. If you’ve ever wondered how people laugh at their pain, we’ll show you how to get there.

I’ve worked in holistic health for over 15 years and I proudly walk the walk of vitality by caring for my mind, body, and soul using modern and ancient wisdom. Polarity Therapy has helped evolve my empathic gifts into clairsentience and I can literally feel your pain as well as your true essence underneath it all. I continue to deepen my spirituality through shamanic studies and self exploration using all of the tools we are giving you.

To heal the collective we must start with ourselves, but we can’t do it alone, nor should we. In addition to teaching you how to better care for your body and soul, my intention is to build an environment and a tribe where we are safe to be vulnerable, raw, weird, and accepted. You may find that just being in the room together can offer support and comfort.

We loved you on sight! And we are honored to be a part of your transformations.
