Finding Freedom Women’s Retreat, September 7-11, 2025

Join Brenda Westwood, Master Equine Gestaltist, of Horse Sense Healing, LLC for this magical experience in the middle of the wilderness where you will be supported to find freedom from those old limiting stories. We will explore an ice-age cave as you explore what lies in the depths of you, ready to be acknowledged and released. Perhaps it’s even an ancestral story you no longer want to carry. Make room for new, empowering beliefs! We all have parts of our stories that get in the way of life today, sometimes outside of our awareness. Imagine finding freedom from reactivity, from lack of confidence, from the inner critic and more.
This all-inclusive retreat includes:
- Safe and sacred space to grow, heal & play
- Equine Gestalt Group Coaching
- Delicious, homecooked meals Sunday evening through Thursday lunch.
- 4 nights lodging
- 3 trail rides: Beginners to advanced riding abilities welcome.
- Evening campfires as allowed
- Cave tour and meditation
- Museum Tour
- Connection with nature, horses and other women
- Swimming hole if temperatures allow
There is room for only 10 women, 21 and over, for this unique experience!
