The Pioneer:
Catherine (Cat) Valliere
Cat is a Southern-born entrepreneur with a head for business, a heart for healing, and a spirit rooted in the land. After decades spent behind the finance desk, she’s stepped into her next chapter with clarity and purpose: to build Lucent Hollow, a sanctuary for music, meditation, and soul-rooted restoration.
Her story begins in the quiet woods of West Tennessee, where she was raised on grit, grace, and the kind of love that doesn’t flinch when life gets hard. Later in life, Cat watched her PopPop care for her mother during a long and tender journey through Alzheimer’s — an act of devotion that left an indelible mark. When her mother passed in 2024, a vision stirred in her soul: to create a place where light lives on, where healing is sacred, and where legacy is honored.
Lucent Hollow is more than a dream — it’s a living, breathing promise. A place where ancient trees stand watch, where music echoes through the marsh, and where peace meets purpose. It’s a space designed not just for today’s seekers, but for her children and grandchildren — and for all those who come seeking rest, renewal, and reconnection.
Cat also founded A’ho Namaste, a lifestyle brand blending mysticism, plant medicine, and soulful wellness. Lucent Hollow is the natural next step — a space where light finds its roots, and a new kind of Southern sanctuary begins.
“This land will hold what she held for me — light, love, and the kind of silence that heals. And I pray it holds that light long after I’m gone.”
“At Lucent Hollow, we don’t just offer retreats, rituals, and rest — we offer a return. A return to self, to nature, and to the kind of light that roots deep and lasts.”
