Welcome

I am overjoyed to be your Host for The Connect Retreat from November 4th through November 6th. My Name is Sarah Baquet, and I am a New York licensed Mental Health Counselor, Professor, and wellness expert. I am the founder of Candor Counseling, PLLC and Candor Counseling Wellness Retreats.

I want to introduce you to our fabulous Co-Host, Founder of Intentional Therapy, LLC, Katherine DeLeon. She is a Bilingual, New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and families. She specializes in trauma informed care with a focus on creating safe therapeutic environments. She has dedicated her career to helping individuals navigate challenges by recognizing and addressing the effects of trauma on the mind and body. 

A note from our Co-Host Katherine Deleon, LCSW — 

“I am honored and so grateful to be the co-host of this November’s 2023 Connect Retreat. I am looking forward to creating a safe and empowering space where women can come together to support, uplift and connect with one another. Creating a space of solitude and safety by giving ourselves permission to disconnect from our routines and daily responsibility can allow us to dig deeper within ourselves. I look forward to helping us tap into our inner-being and expanding our capacity of love, joy, and abundance.”

Through the vehicle of retreat experiences, I hope to provide more accessibility to supportive spaces for women to connect to other like-minded women, connect to themselves, and increase overall collective wellness. I am passionate about raising awareness regarding the positive impacts nature and physical activity have on our mind, body, and psychological resilience. Psychological research shows that positive authentic connections enhance women’s overall wellbeing, yet many of us feel isolated and suffer from symptoms of burn out. I hope to provide a non-judgmental space for you to unwind, connect, and release while immersing yourself in 7 acres of nature in the beautiful Catskill mountains. It is my intention to provide a comfortable, joyous, and elegant experience.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out! My team and I are excited to provide an unforgettable and transformative experience. 

 Looking forward to meeting you,

Dr. Sarah Baquet
