Imagine a week with Jesus, curated for you and Four other women who desire the same thing...
-
Time to step away from the noise of everyday life.
-
To rest in His presence.
-
To experience the beauty all around you.
-
To quiet your heart and listen for the voice of God.
-
To have deep conversations with other Catholic women who are seeking more.
-
To grow in self-awareness and in your relationship with God and yourself.
-
To create deep, meaningful bonds with women who share your faith and your desire to make a difference.
Guided by Certified Catholic Life Coach, Karla Fitz, The Radiant Soul Retreat is an invitation to Peace and All Good- Pax et Bonum. It is an exclusive retreat for 5 Catholic Women leaders who have accomplished much, but know there is more- more meaning, alignment, joy, growth, and depth!
Through Catholic spirituality and mindset work, you’ll be invited to look beneath the surface. To explore the beliefs, and patterns that shape the way you see yourself, your life, and your relationship with God.
You’ll have space to reflect, ask deeper questions, have meaningful conversations, and gain clarity about what God may be inviting you into next.
This is not an everyday pilgrimage. It is a sacred space to draw closer to God!
Not because you need to escape your life,
but because you want to make more room for Him.
A week to be still.
To pray & listen.
To cultivate beautiful friendships.
To experience the beauty of Assisi.
And to spend unhurried time with Jesus and with yourself.
Five Women who are growth-focused and desire to make a difference in the world around them. Women who want to go deeper in their faith, experience inner healing, and form genuine bonds with other like-minded women.
A week to not only deepen your relationship with God, but to look within, challenge the thoughts and beliefs that may be keeping you from living fully, and gain clarity about the woman God is calling you to become.
Not an escape, but an encounter.
What if you intentionally gave yourself a week with God?
Kathleen D.
"I woke up with such an overflowing heart of joy and gratitude. God answered my prayers in such a big way--my longtime prayer for deep Catholic Christian soul-sister friendships. All the sadness, all the hopes, all the stories and all the laughs we shared--only God could make that happen. Best birthday ever, on many levels. Karla, you are such a lighthouse for Jesus and our Catholic faith--thank you for what you created and putting your heart and soul into every minute of our time together."

Meet Karla Fitz, Your Host
Hi, my name is Karla Fitz, I'm wife, mom of three, Certified Catholic Life and Business Coach, and host of The Catholic Life Coach Podcast.
For the past several years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside Catholic women as they grow into their identity as beloved daughters of God. Deepening their faith, and learning to lead their lives and businesses from a place of peace, trust, and alignment with Him.
I believe God calls us not only to build beautiful lives, but to become the women who can fully receive and steward the blessings He entrusts to us!
Assisi changed me.
When my family and I arrived in Assisi on pilgrimage, something shifted.
-
The pace slowed.
-
The noise quieted.
-
And I experienced a peace that felt almost tangible.
Assisi invites you to be present- to notice the beauty of the ordinary, to slow down, and to rediscover the abundance God has already placed around you. It reminded me that true abundance is not simply what we achieve or acquire. It is the life we cultivate with God, the relationships we nurture and the trust we place in His plans over our own.
Here, you walk among the places where saints like St. Francis, St. Clare, and St. Carlo Acutis lived ordinary lives with extraordinary faith, lives transformed by their willingness to say YES to God's invitation.
This is why I felt called to create this retreat. To create a sacred space where women can step away from the ordinary, encounter God more deeply. To experience the peace, beauty, and freedom that comes from surrendering more fully to Him.
I cannot wait to welcome you to Assisi!!
Charleen S.
"I didn't realize how much I needed Catholic women friends to this depth. God doing for me what I cannot do for myself! He always leads my heart. Karla led with the spirit of God and He once again, prevailed. I will cherish each of you as my days move forward...you will now be on my prayer list da amore a tutti voi e Dio vi benedica!"

Why Assisi? And Why November?
Assisi is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in the world- the home of St. Francis and St. Clare, soaked in centuries of prayer and peace. It's the place to step back from the busyness you've been carrying and hear God clearly about what He's inviting you into.
And November? It's the hidden gem. The summer crowds are gone. The light turns golden and soft. The streets are quiet and holy. You'll have Assisi almost to yourself — and during this Jubilee Year marking 800 years of St. Francis, that quiet is electric with grace. A window like this won't come again.
This is not a trip. It is a Retreat & Pilgrimage, praying in the churches that hold their relics, letting Assisi itself draw you back into the presence of God. It is a return to Him, and through Him, to the woman He created you to be before the world asked you to be everything to everyone else.
