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.

June 13, 2026 | 10 AM - 5 PM
Join EFT Practitioner Sarah Louise Lilley and Mindfulness with Horses founder Jennifer Cohen Harper for a restorative day of somatic healing, equine connection, and nervous system reset. Through trauma‑informed EFT Tapping, mindful time with the 13 Hands herd, and a closing Yoga Nidra practice, you will have the chance to gently release stored stress and rediscover a sense of anchored calm, clarity and trust.
June 26 - 28, 2026
Join senior clinician Heidi Potter for a transformative two-day immersion into the art and science of the horses’ authentic language system. Through Heidi’s signature Horse Speak® method, participants learn to interpret the subtle gestures, postures, and breath signals horses use with one another, building a quieter, more authentic partnership. This unmounted clinic includes guided herd observation, human‑to‑human practice, and hands‑on application with our rescue equines. A limited number of onsite accommodations are available for registered participants.
September 20 - 25, 2026
Stay on the tranquil campus of the Omega Institute, and journey each day to 13 Hands Equine Rescue. In this restorative experience, you rest, revitalize, and awaken your creative spirit in the company of these animals on their own healing journeys. Through the combined power of Mindfulness with Horses and Narrative Healing practices, you learn to listen with your whole body, soften into the unknown of the present moment, and discover the stories within you ready to emerge.
November 5 - 8, 2026
Join senior clinician Heidi Potter for an immersive journey into the heart of equine partnership and collaborative movement. This three-day unmounted intensive takes the conversation from the field into the arena. As we explore how we can move together with the horses in collaboration, you will learn to shift away from “telling” and into a true partnership where the horse finally feels understood — and so do you.
Deepening the Bond is designed for those with some horse experience or a prior introduction to Horse Speak. This clinic is the next step for those ready to move from understanding the language into an active, collaborative partnership.
