“Getting to know YOU”: Women's Equine Assisted Retreat is your opportunity to escape to the countryside and enjoy the beauty of connecting with horses. Join us for a weekend filled with self-discovery, connection, and rejuvenation. Together, we'll explore the wonders of bonding with horses through basic groundwork skill building and therapeutic activities. Throughout the retreat, you will have the opportunity to work together with the horses using a blend of IFS Therapy practices to help with confidence building, increase self-awareness, self-regulation techniques to use in real time (just to name a few!).

Internal Family Systems  (IFS) Therapy is a beautiful therapeutic model that helps us differentiate between our core Self and the parts of our personality (where we carry our wounds and protection mechanisms). Throughout the weekend, you will develop skills to help you return back to your higher Self (where you are naturally confident, compassionate, courageous, connected, calm, etc), and observe what stories the parts of you may be carrying that interfere with your ability to stay in Self.

You will be gaining groundwork skills with the horses through the help of our experienced leaders, engage in meaningful discussions, explore getting to know your own system and stories, and form lasting bonds with the women around you. We will also lead you in a group ride on Sunday if you’re feeling comfortable and have the opportunity to play at the pumpkin patch before heading home.

Experience all of this within the safety of a women’s circle where you will be held and supported in your vulnerability as you will walk alongside each other in this beautiful process.

Our knowledgeable leaders will share their wisdom and lead activities focused on connection, mindfulness, and personal growth. You will be led by women who bring a lifetime of experience with horses and the beautiful soul connection we share with them, as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 12 years of experience using the IFS model.

Accommodation will be provided in a comfortable and gorgeous ranch home located at the base of the Blue Mountains. Enjoy the beautiful views of the mountains and property, interact with the various ranch/farm animals on the property, relax in the hot tub, and enjoy connections around the fire-pit at night, and savor delicious meals.

This retreat is a rare opportunity to step away from the demands of life, interact with horses on a deeper level, connect with yourSelf, and forge lasting connections with other remarkable women.
