HORSE MEDICINE
A Costa Rica Equine Retreat
“In the presence of horses, we remember ourselves.”
Nosara, Costa Rica
February 6-8, 2026
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
Deep Self-Connection – Rediscover parts of yourself that may have been buried under years of conditioning, expectations, and survival patterns. Horses help you access your intuitive wisdom and inner knowing.
Authentic Communication Learn to communicate from your heart rather than your mind, developing the ability to express your truth with clarity and compassion.
Boundary Mastery Discover how to set healthy boundaries that honor both yourself and others, without walls or aggression—just as horses do in their natural herds.
Relationship Wisdom Gain valuable insights into your patterns in relationships, understanding how you connect, where you give your power away, and how to create more authentic partnerships.
Leadership From Being Explore a new paradigm of leadership that comes not from force or control, but from presence, authenticity, and aligned action.
Energetic Awareness Develop sensitivity to the subtle energies around you, learning to read and respond to the unspoken communication that flows between all living beings.
Embodied Presence Cultivate the ability to be fully present in your body, accessing the intelligence and wisdom that lives in your physical being rather than staying trapped in mental loops.
Nature’s Healing Allow Costa Rica’s powerful natural environment to support your transformation, as the land itself holds medicine for healing and growth.
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
You feel called to remember something essential about yourself that you may have forgotten.
You have tried all sorts of other self-growth modalities, but you’ve hit a wall and you want something radically different.
You’re ready to step away from who you think you should be and return to who you actually are.
Horses have been calling to your heart, asking you to connect with them in a new way, serving your higher purpose.
This is not a horse training retreat. You’ll get a lot of horse time but then you’ll be digesting that in a way that allows you to take your insights into your life. This is also not a riding retreat.
Being with horses on the ground is giving them an opportunity to relate to you in a completely different way than if you were on their backs. Katherine has found that horses love to be in relationship with humans in this way, showing us the shamans they really are.
This was such a wonderful relaxing weekend environment to be deeply reminded that being present is something we could all stand to do more of. It became obviously easy to experience this by simply being with the horses. Its amazing what you can see and hear and feel if you just pay attention. I am more conscious of this in my day to day interactions. I am since spending more quality time with my loved ones, without an agenda with full presence (including my horse and my dog). Strangely enough I am sleeping much better in the weeks since the retreat. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for this kind of reset!

This was truly a unique and deeply profound experience – unlike any other that I’ve had before. The ability to connect with and learn from horses in this manner is invaluable and no prior experience with horses is necessary to receive the benefits.

The retreat was magical! I feel so nourished by our time together with the horses.

I think the key insight for me came from Luz, and watching how she holds space for the herd. She doesn’t control them or get involved in pecking order disputes.
She holds a loving container in which the other horses can work it out. She taught me a lot about how to lead a family from behind.
