Everything on the schedule is optional. We want you to get what you need out of this weekend.

Check-in is Friday between 2:00-4:00pm. The first session is 4:30pm on Friday. We wrap up on Sunday around 10:30am, but we are about an hour outside San Diego and recommend planning some buffer time for travel and lunch so you’re not rushed leaving. We also have an early-check in option if you’d like to add an extra day and come on Thursday. Then you would have 3 nights and 2 full days of full access to the property amenities, classes, and pre-retreat programming. You’ll see that add-on as an option when you register.

 


Join us for a transformative Women’s Equine Weekend Retreat, where you’ll connect with your inner strength and wisdom through the profound presence of horses. Set in a peaceful, natural setting, this retreat blends personal growth and reflection with hands-on experiences alongside these intuitive animals. Each session is guided by the wisdom horses bring, offering insights and deeper connections. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, empowered, and ready to embrace the next chapter of your life.

Optional Workshops

1. Vision Keeper: 
With the horses as our co-facilitators, explore the power of holding a clear vision for yourself and others. Horses mirror our intentions and energy, helping us refine our vision and stay grounded, even when life gets challenging. Learn to harness this clarity and purpose for yourself and those you lead.

2. Learning from Nature:
Horses embody the lessons of nature—patience, resilience, and balance. This session invites you to learn directly from these incredible animals, exploring how their natural behaviors can inspire us to align with life’s rhythms and foster sustainable growth in our personal and professional lives.

3. Boundaries with Confidence:
Horses naturally set and respect boundaries, offering us powerful lessons in maintaining balance and well-being. In this workshop, we’ll observe and interact with horses to understand how to set boundaries confidently. Learn how to communicate your needs effectively while nurturing healthy relationships.

4. Leading with Strength:
True leadership is about creating space for others to thrive, and horses are experts at this. They lead with presence and authenticity, teaching us the art of leadership through empowerment and collaboration. In this session, the horses will help us explore our unique strengths and develop strategies to lead with grace and confidence.

Why Attend:

Empowerment: Gain tools and strategies to lead with confidence and intention, guided by the intuitive wisdom of horses.
Connection: Form deep, meaningful relationships with other women and the horses in a supportive and relaxed environment.
Reflection: Reflect on your goals and challenges, using the horses’ natural ability to mirror and guide your inner journey.
Growth: Leave with a renewed sense of purpose, clarity, and balance, inspired by the powerful lessons learned from these gentle teachers.

 

This Women’s Equine Weekend offers the perfect blend of deep reflection, playful adventure, and restorative rest, all enhanced by the unique experience of working with horses. Whether you’re seeking clarity, inspiration, or simply time to reconnect with yourself, this retreat is an opportunity to reset and recharge in the most profound way.
