Reserve with $197 today before the price goes up November 1st!
If you’ve been longing for a space to breathe deeply, reset your nervous system, and discover a healthier, happier way of being, this retreat is for you.
Imagine waking up to the soft sound of hooves, practicing gentle movement with the sunrise, and experiencing the profound presence of the herd as you reconnect with your deepest desires.
Horses that Heal?
Can horses help us heal, not just in body, but in the deepest parts of ourselves? Yes!
Living alongside these incredible beings, I’ve witnessed their purpose as teachers and healers, allowing Source to move through them in gentle, profound ways. What began as the herd quietly holding space during client sessions has become an active partnership in the healing process.
Their willingness to share their gifts inspires me daily, and it’s why I feel called to invite you to this retreat, to reconnect with yourself and step into your next chapter supported by the herd.

“Donna’s energy techniques are simple, accessible, and they work to help bring healing. Her recent ‘Wellness is Within’ Retreat was phenomenal! She shared how to let go of stress, and focus on being peaceful and joyful.
Lori
The wellness retreat went beyond mental and emotional nourishment. Energetic therapies and detoxification foot baths swept away stagnant energies, leaving me lighter, more attuned, and at peace for the days ahead.
