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.

Day 2: Learning Presence

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
…your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find all the barriers
within yourself that you have built against it… Rumi

 

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.

Day 4: Connecting to Intuition and Essence

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.
