Becky Cathey
Founder & Heart of Blissful Retreats
Blissful Retreats began with a simple longing—for connection. After months of virtual meetings with a close-knit coaching community, I felt a deep pull to bring those online connections into real life. I’ve always had a knack for seeing a need and finding a way to fill it, so I earned my Event Planning Certification and put that instinct into action.
Hosting that first in-person gathering at a beautiful property was transformative. The laughter, growth, and genuine joy of meeting face-to-face sparked something in me—and I knew I wanted to keep creating spaces where people could rediscover their own sense of bliss. To me, bliss is the moment someone rediscovers their spark—the best version of themselves—supported by nature, community, and meaningful connection. That moment became the foundation of Blissful Retreats.
I’m fun-loving, a little silly at times, and serious when it matters. You’ll often find me on a pickleball court, walking in nature, experimenting with a new soup recipe, or chasing a little adventure—whether that’s indoor skydiving, kayaking, or a spontaneous road trip. I’m most myself when surrounded by good people, good energy, and laughter that lingers.
Before creating Blissful Retreats, I spent over 30 years as a nurse — supporting special needs children, individuals in recovery from addiction, and clients with Alzheimer’s through end-of-life care. Those experiences shaped my belief in compassionate spaces, thoughtful care, and environments that truly support healing and growth.
Today, I bring that same care and intention into every retreat—designing experiences that honor the whole person. Blissful Retreats is about creating moments that help you rediscover your rhythm and remember how good it feels to simply be.
Welcome to Blissful Retreats—where connection, laughter, and growth come naturally.
If you’re seeking more than a getaway—if you’re ready for a retreat that honors the whole of who you are — you’re in the right place.
Our Approach
Our approach is built on four universal human pillars—Mind, Body, Spirit, and Soul—ensuring each retreat is not only inspiring, but integrated, sustainable, and truly impactful.
Mind
Creates intentional space for reflection, reframing outdated narratives, expanding perspective, and strengthening mental tools that support long-term growth and resilience.
Body
Grounds participants through movement, rest, nourishment, and sensory awareness—restoring balance and supporting nervous system regulation.
Spirit
Reconnects individuals to something larger than themselves through community, creativity, nature, and shared inspiration.
Soul
Addresses identity, purpose, inner truth, and core values—helping participants realign with who they are and what truly matters.
Together, these four pillars form a proven framework for whole-person transformation—not just a temporary retreat experience.
How I Hold the Space
I don’t believe transformation comes from being pushed or fixed. It comes from being seen, supported, and given the space to reconnect with yourself—at your own pace. My role is to thoughtfully design and guide retreat experiences that feel both expansive and grounded, where every element is intentional and nothing is performative. I bring together the right environments, facilitators, and flow so participants can fully arrive, let go, and engage in meaningful change that lasts well beyond the retreat itself.
