Elevate in Denver: The Clean Living Founder Retreat
August 20–22, 2025 | Hyatt Regency Denver
A curated wellness experience for women founders, creatives, and conscious leaders
This August, you’re invited to step into something powerful:
A weekend that nourishes your body, energizes your business, and fills your soul.
Hosted by Cassandra McClure, creative director of Clean Living Magazine and founder of the Clean Living Founder Collective, this immersive 3-day experience gathers women in wellness, beauty, sustainability, and conscious lifestyle for deep connection, strategic clarity, and meaningful media exposure.
Set against the vibrant energy of Newtopia Now — a national wellness tradeshow in downtown Denver — this retreat is designed to help you pause, plug in, and power up your next chapter.
Who This Is For
Perfect for you if you…
Are a mission-driven founder, creative, or consultant ready for growth on both personal and professional levels
Crave deeper community, clarity, and aligned support
Want to be seen, heard, and uplifted — without sacrificing rest
Are seeking media visibility, business exposure, and time to recharge
Believe in wellness, clean living, and growing from the inside out
Not for you if…
You expect a typical conference with back-to-back panels
You’re after quick fixes without doing the foundational work
You’re not open to partnership, fresh perspectives, or vulnerability
You only want to showcase your product — this retreat is about building relationships

This is more than an event — it’s a high-touch, founder-first retreat focused on connection, rejuvenation, and intentional growth.
Even if your brand isn’t part of Newtopia Now, you’re absolutely welcome.
