Self-connection Through Equine Wisdom
A 3-Day Equine Retreat
HapBE Valley
Asheville, NC
October 17-19, 2025
A RETREAT FOR FINDING AND NOURISHING YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF
Are you caught in cycles that seem impossible to break, even when you recognize them clearly? Perhaps it’s the exhausting dance of people-pleasing, the prison of perfectionism, or the weight of long-held resentment. You’ve invested in therapy, devoured self-help books, yet those stubborn relationship patterns remain unchanged.
Experience our transformative Self-Connection Through Horses retreat nestled in the breathtaking mountains of North Carolina, where profound shifts await—the kind that might take years to achieve through traditional methods alone.
Horses are extraordinary teachers. In their natural herds, they embody a remarkable balance: completely authentic while living in perfect harmony with others. They maintain healthy boundaries without building walls, release conflict without carrying grudges, and demand nothing less than genuine presence. Perhaps most remarkably, horses perceive truths about us that we’ve yet to discover ourselves, offering mirrors for self-insight and safe spaces to practice showing up differently—all while providing refreshingly honest feedback.
This retreat will deepen your self-knowledge beyond what you thought possible, help you feel truly seen and heard, and equip you with practical tools for living from an authentic, heart-centered foundation. The healing power of the Appalachian Mountains will restore and nourish your spirit throughout this journey.
“The retreat was absolutely magical! I feel so deeply nourished by our time together with the horses.”

WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?

You’ve explored various self-development approaches but feel ready for something radically different

You’re called to step more fully into your authenticity through an entirely new pathway

You feel drawn to horses in a deeper way, sensing they have something important to offer your soul’s journey

You’re know you have a higher intelligence inside of you and you wonder if horses can help you tap into it
This isn’t about horse training or riding—it’s about profound inter-species connection and personal transformation. You’ll spend meaningful time with the horses, then integrate those insights in ways that translate directly to your daily life. By meeting horses as equals on the ground, you create space for them to reveal their true nature as the wise shamans they are, sharing their gifts in service of your highest growth.
