LOCATION
Located at 13 Hands Equine Rescue in Clinton Corners, New York (2 hours north of NYC, 15 minutes from both Rhinebeck & Millbrook)
Today’s world can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to become disconnected from ourselves, from nature, and from each other. Horses live fully in the present moment. Spending time with them can help us slow down and reconnect with our capacity for mindful awareness and personal power. In this retreat you’ll learn mindfulness based practices, supported by the grounding of horses, that help us reconnect, cultivate compassion for ourselves and others, and build the courage to step fully into our lives with power and authenticity.
With the support of over 200 horses, from minis to mustangs to drafts, you’ll connect and communicate using your body language, breath, energy and intention. You will learn to exchange greetings and communicate that you mean no harm; ask for space without creating fear or disconnection; support a horse that is uncomfortable or scared; invite a horse to walk and/or rest with you; groom a horse to create comfort and connection; move quietly through the herd without disturbing the horses.
We are fortunate to have five spaces available in a beautiful home on-site at 13 Hands Equine Rescue. The house is truly special, with views of the hills and the horses from every window, a large two story living room with a stone fireplace, comfortable bedrooms with queen size beds, porches with adirondeck chairs, a recreation room with pool and ping pong tables, and a cozy reading room. Participants who choose on-site housing will receive three meals per day, prepared with love, and served family style. We'll check in prior to arrival to make sure we have all dietary needs accounted for! We'll also be providing coffee, tea and snacks throughout the day. *Please note that while bedrooms are private space, retreat activites may take place in common areas of the home.
Commuter spaces are available for folks who live locally or would like to explore staying elsewhere in the Rhinebeck area. Commuter pricing includes lunch each day, as well as coffee, tea and snacks.
