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!

Day 1: Meet and Greet, Settle into the Environment, Set Intentions, Orient and Time with Horses
Upon arrival, you’ll meet your hosts, Kelly and Cindie, and have time to settle in. You will receive your welcome bags filled with gifts for your journey, along with your schedule for the retreat. We will come together in the Circle of Satsang, where we will share and learn about one another, set our personal intentions, and meet our divine equine beings with their gentle souls.
A guided mindfulness retreat can help you learn how to quiet your mind and slow down so you can reconnect to your senses, your body, and each moment as you experience it. By using our innovative techniques, you notice more about yourself and your surroundings. You recognize that you don’t have to wear a mask or numb.
- Awaken Senses
- Explore Presence
- Nourish Connection
Day 3: Setting Intention
Awakened senses lead to a perspective shift, and within this new view is the opportunity to understand growth and the importance of standing in your strength to find your way. A sense of self empowers clarity and imagination, re-awakening imagination while firmly setting in place confidence to take the path less traveled.
- Choose your equine partner – relationships are hard. Let your horse show you the way to finding value within yourself, no bribes needed!
- Bravely ask for your needs to be met – people pleasing is exhausting. There is nothing more draining than constantly meeting the needs of others and ignoring your own.
- Feel the power of connection – experience at a soul level, what connection is within your body and your soul.
Once we recognize our own strength, we learn to move forward with confidence, knowing that the wisdom we possess is enough. Our minds, bodies and spirits are designed to work together, to guide us on this journey. When we learn how to weave each of these gifts within ourselves together into a beautiful tapestry. Our past and present selves combine to courageously explore life with curiosity and self-love.
- Power of self – recognize the strength of you!
- Fall gently into the quiet mind – yes, you have choices in how you face challenges. Learn how to hit the pause button and breathe.
- Game plan for success – intention and energy from within is necessary to stay connected, practice your favorite mindfulness activities, express gratitude to yourself and your horse, enjoy the peace of the new you!
Day 5: Closing, Connection and Support
We will recap what we have shared, learned and experience in the Sacred Circle of Women in Satsang. We will discuss life outside of the retreat and how to continue your journey of self-discovery and growth.
