Meet Our Founder

Sue Mitchell’s journey to creating this soulful sanctuary began with her deep, lifelong passion for helping others reconnect with their true selves. Having spent decades exploring the intersection of mindfulness, spirituality, and holistic healing, Sue envisioned a space where people could pause, breathe, and rediscover the beauty and balance within. Her dream of creating a retreat nestled in the serene embrace of nature came to life in Boulder Creek, where the mountains, streams, and stillness set the perfect backdrop for healing and renewal.

Sue’s warmth, authenticity, and compassionate spirit are at the heart of everything she does. She understands that life can be overwhelming, and she created this space to offer people a refuge from the noise of the world. With a background in mindfulness meditation, wellness coaching, and spiritual guidance, Sue has guided countless individuals toward greater peace, self-awareness, and soul alignment. Her approach is deeply relational—she listens, encourages, and walks alongside others on their journey with genuine care and insight.

To Sue, Silver Creek Retreat isn’t just a retreat—it’s a calling, a labor of love, and a reflection of her mission to help others heal and thrive. Her vision is to create not just a place, but a community, where people can connect, reflect, and grow together. Whether it’s through a heartfelt conversation, a quiet moment in nature, or a transformative meditation session, Sue’s hope is that every guest leaves feeling lighter, inspired, and deeply connected to their soul.
