April 3rd to 6th, 2025
This small women’s retreat is a unique opportunity to redefine your definitions and concepts of Time, Space and Knowledge. We will use the land, the Earth and equines as our inspiration and guides. We will stay and work between beautiful Imagine Equus Farm and nearby Villas where you will enjoy both quiet and space and also group interaction. Part of your days will be spend doing Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning as a way to open your mind to a different way of seeing, being and connecting. We will combine this with assessing our own thoughts, beliefs and habits regarding time and space.
Time seems to be the one thing there is never enough of. What if we could make more of it to spend doing the things we love most? We will seek during our retreat to use the wisdom of the horse to recreate our personal relationship with time and space. We will look at things like how we physically use our time and what consumes the most of it. With the direction of the horses and tapping deep into our own intuition, we will seek guidance so we may use our time in ways that are the most fulfilling and joyful for us. Similarly, we will identify and banish the habits and behaviors that are hijacking our lives and consuming our head space.
The intent of the work we do here is to let you learn through experience with the equines, yourself and even the group. We also want to provide you with a exciting, thought provoking and relaxing getaway. Much thought has gone into the cabins and chalet you will be staying in so that it can be your peaceful oasis away from home. The food we serve during the retreat is local organic, healthy and delicious. We want your time here at Imagine Equus Farm to be incredible! We also want the experience to provide you with the insight and excitement to integrate some of what you experience here into your everyday life.
As with most of our retreats at Imagine Equus Farm, the timing of this retreat is very purposeful. This retreat in Spring brings all of the new life to surround us as winter fades out. It’s such an exciting time with warm weather and fresh new green leaves on the trees. A lot will be in transition with nature which always leads to incredible retreat time.
So why an EFEL retreat? Well, first horses are awfully cool to be around. The work we will do with the horses is “experiential” in nature. That means you learn by doing and engaging rather than being told or talked at. No lectures here. This retreat is not about riding the horses either. Rather, it is about finding ways to connect with them- to understand them at a different level. Why might you want to do that? Horses are amazing communicators. They have an incredible ability to stay present and read energy. As such, they are also wonderful teachers to help us develop an ability to be really present, be aware of, and read, incongruity in ourselves and others and be overall more centered and grounded. Horses are generous teachers, and if we listen, they can help us with our inner balance and overall well-being.
During our retreat time we will be spending time with horses and donkeys. However, since all of the work with the equines is groundwork, no riding skills or previous horse experience is required.
You deserve an experience and time that is just about you. Leave the rest of it behind and come join us for this one of a kind women’s retreat.
