Take time to restore your spirit, energy, and connection to the natural world, as you access practices to reduce burnout, navigate resentment, and increase joy. Activities include:
April 16-19, 2026
Join Jennifer Cohen Harper and the team at 13 Hands Equine Rescue for a chance to rest and reset, in the company of horses on their own healing journey. We’re excited to offer a unique opportunity to stay onsite in a beautiful home at 13 Hands during this retreat, as well as the option to commute. This non-riding retreat is appropriate for anyone! No horse or mindfulness experience necessary. All horse interaction will be from the ground, and tailored to the individual participant’s experience and comfort level.
May 31-June 5, 2026
This 5‑day retreat invites you to settle into the rhythm of the natural world, reconnect with your inner wisdom, cultivate compassion, and build the courage to live with greater authenticity and power.
At 13 Hands Equine Rescue, Jennifer Cohen Harper guides you in connecting with the horses through body language, breath, energy, and intention. Each retreat unfolds uniquely as participants and horses shape their own relationships.
You learn to:
• Exchange greetings and communicate intentions
• Observe herd dynamics, including interactions between mothers and foals
• Ask for space without creating fear or disconnection
• Support a nervous or uncomfortable horse
• Invite a horse to walk or rest with you
• Move quietly through the herd without disturbing them
Time is also spent on Omega’s campus, where Jenn leads mindfulness practices, gentle movement, journaling, and group discussions. These sessions deepen the insights gained at the rescue and help set intentions for the days ahead.
