A multiple-day retreat can help you learn how to quiet your mind, reconnect to your senses – engaging in each moment. Truly experience a distinct freedom from fear, reconnect to your true self, feel empowered and renewed, and go back into the world transformed. Whether searching for personal development and healing, or working towards leadership and team building goals, you will experience change.

What Happens at a Retreat?

Our experienced and passionate guides journey alongside participants as they settle into a beautiful natural setting.  We are all committed to reintroducing the healing power of the outdoors to every human on this journey, firmly grounding each with mindfulness work, meditation, breath work, expressive art, mindful movement and time spent with our equine partners. Throughout each day intentional time is spent together and separately, experiencing rhythm and regaining a felt sense of self and purpose.  Truly the time spent together is transformational.

Why Horses?

Horses do not lie.  Their feedback is instantaneous and authentic, in a beautiful peaceful and safe atmosphere, free of the sounds of civilization.  Once our participants experience what true connection feels like, their lives are transformed.

Our retreats are all professionally facilitated by well-trained and experienced compassionate experts who are able to provide participants a truly life-changing experience.  Each workshop is unique!

Currently offering retreats with horses both in Western Colorado.

***No experience is expected or required with horses; we do not ride the horses, but work in relationship with them on the ground.  (Riding is offered as an optional activity during retreat “free time”)
