Betrayal comes when we least expect it, and it asks us to change in ways we never anticipated. Betrayal demands that we let go of what we can’t change, and takes us down pathways and doorways into a new way of being.

Betrayal invites you to eliminate and release old, outdated, and worn-out patterns that no longer serve you, while finding the courage to create a new life that is more real and authentic. Betrayal signals a time of destruction and rebuilding along with rejuvenation and regeneration.

Join us for a three-day retreat in Carmel, California to explore and discover new ways of being in your life after experiencing betrayal. Humor, art, ceremony, rich questions and in-depth discussions will all be a part of this supportive women's workshop. Through a blend of emotional, spiritual and practical exercises, combined with creative personal exploration, you will take tangible steps on the path to healing, wholeness and empowerment.

A message from Kate:

"My passion for these workshops comes from my personal experience of what it means to grow and heal from betrayal. Five years ago I stood in a bookstore desperately searching for a book to help ease my pain. I wanted to know how other women survived betrayal. My world had just turned upside down, and I needed help—something solid to hold onto. That day I promised myself—if I survived this nightmare I would teach what I knew I was about to learn. The journey that began in pain and fear became an invitation to rise from the ashes of betrayal into a greater place of empowerment, authenticity, and grace than I ever could have imagined."
