Step Out of the Noise. Step Into Your Wisdom.
Retreat for the day and discover the transformative power of your presence. You’ll reconnect with a sense of play, and feel free from distractions and pressure to perform. Along the way, your inner wisdom and intuitive leadership will naturally emerge.
You’ll get some hands-on experience working directly with horses, and will be safely on the ground the entire time (there is no riding involved). Expect to feel a shift as you get out of your head and into your embodied awareness.
You’ll also learn some practical skills for non-verbal influence through attention and nervous system regulation. You’ll leave with a new perspective and simple actions you can use to shape relationships at work and in your personal life.
No prior experience with horses or mindfulness is required.

🌿 Nature & Stillness: A chance to slow down and realign in a beautiful, natural setting.

Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is ideal for leaders who:
Feel overextended, burned out, or disconnected from their deeper purpose
Are curious about embodied leadership and intuitive intelligence
Crave a meaningful pause and space to recalibrate
Want to cultivate a more empowered presence for their work or personal life
If you’re someone who feels a strong connection to nature and animals, you will love this!
Why Horses?
Horses are masterful mirrors of energy, intention, and emotion. As prey animals, they respond to what is real and present, not what is performed. Working with them helps you drop into authenticity and learn to lead from presence, not performance.
