Meet the founders

Christine Raschke and Monique Pearson are catalysts for women ready to step into the most authentic version of themselves. Harvard Business School graduates with leadership roles in tech, start-ups, and consulting - as well as deep experience as executive coaches - they guide women through transformation, growth, and self-discovery.

With Catalyst Retreats, they are creating a new kind of catalyst for change - uniquely curated three-day journeys inward to explore your past, become present, and embody your truest self. 

Each element of the retreat exists within a carefully designed sequence, building on those preceding it to create lasting transformation.

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 coaching, 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.

Breathwork, yoga, sound meditation, and somatic movement are woven throughout to help you access the wisdom of your body, 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.
