A RETREAT FOR RECLAIMING AND EMBODYING YOUR TRUE ESSENCE

Return Home to Your True Self

Step away from the noise of the world and into the quiet wisdom of the horse. In the sacred beauty of Costa Rica, you’ll slow down, breathe deep, and remember who you are beneath the striving.

Over three powerful days, you’ll be guided into presence, learning from horses how to listen with your whole being, set clear energetic boundaries, and reconnect with your innate clarity and peace. You won’t just relax, you’ll return home changed: centered, confident, and alive in your truth.

The Medicine of Horses

Horses carry an ancient medicine- a way of being that humans have forgotten in our modern world. They live completely present, respond authentically to each moment, and navigate complex social dynamics with grace and clarity. In their presence, we naturally drop our masks and protective patterns, returning to our essential selves.

Through carefully designed experiential exercises, you’ll connect with horses on a soul level, discovering how they communicate through energy, intention, and authentic presence. These magnificent beings don’t judge or analyze- they simply reflect back what is true, offering immediate feedback about your inner state and how you show up in relationship.

 

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

Deep Self-Connection 

Remember your own rhythm and return to a place where your inner voice feels clear and trustworthy.

 

Authentic Communication

Speak your truth with confidence and compassion — both with others and yourself.

 

Boundary Mastery

Discover how to say yes and no from a grounded place, honoring yourself without guilt.

 

Relationship Wisdom

Understand your patterns in connection and reclaim your power to create authentic, balanced relationships.

 

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   

Deepen your sensitivity to the subtle energies between beings and learn to respond with attunement and presence.

 

Embodied Presence

Learn from the horses how to stay rooted in your body and calm in your energy, no matter what life brings.

 

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.

Before This Retreat, You Might Feel…

😩 Stretched thin, always tending to others before yourself

😩 Disconnected from your intuition and inner rhythm

😩 Unsure how to express what you truly feel

😩 Tired of “doing all the work” without feeling real change

After This Retreat, You’ll Leave…

✨ Grounded in your body and present with what is

✨ Clear on your truth and able to communicate it with ease

✨ In harmony with your natural cycles and emotions

✨ Reconnected to your inner guidance — and to the sacred pulse of life itself


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.

 

 

YOUR FACILITATOR:

Katherine Finley

Katherine Finley, Spiritual and Women’s Transformation Coach, has been working with horses since she was a child.  Growing up riding and showing, she came to know the magnificence that is the horse, and the amazing relationship that can be developed between horse and human.

Working for years as an equine therapist showed Katherine the potential for immense healing with these highly evolved beings.

She has now found her highest joy in bringing herself as a spiritual coach to her work with horses.  Horses have been instrumental in Katherine’s journey of fully embodying her soul, and living from this aligned place.  Katherine finds that working with horses is a shortcut to her higher wisdom and soul knowing.  She is beyond grateful that it is part of her path to work with horses in this powerful way in this lifetime.

Katherine’s other favorite thing is to hold space for clients to step into their authenticity, so that they can life their unique divine expressions in the world.  Katherine is so excited to create that sacred container for you in this retreat for your highest growth and expansion.

What our retreat participants have to say…

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!

-Dr. Marc Lucius DC, DACNB

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.

-Lisa M

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

-Retreat participant

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.

-Retreat participant

A Sacred Container for Transformation

At the Rio Nosara Equestrian Centre, surrounded by Costa Rica’s lush beauty and the gentle power of horses, you’ll experience a level of transformation that touches your very essence. This retreat creates a sacred container where healing happens naturally, insights arise organically, and you remember the magnificent being you’ve always been.

When you return home, you’ll notice the world feels different — or maybe you do.
You’ll breathe more deeply, listen more openly, and meet life with grounded presence.
Your relationships will soften. Your choices will feel clearer.

This isn’t just a weekend retreat — it’s a homecoming to your natural way of being.

Come remember. The horses are waiting
