March 21, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Shakti Ranch | Malibu, California
Join us for an intimate, trauma-informed day retreat designed to deepen your relationship with your body, your nervous system, and others.
Through guided facilitation and equine-assisted experiences, we will explore relational dynamics, attachment patterns, and embodied connection in a grounded, experiential way. Horses have an extraordinary ability to mirror emotional truth and help us attune to what is happening beneath the surface.
This retreat is intentionally small to create a safe, supportive environment where participants can slow down, connect with themselves, and experience meaningful relational work in the presence of horses and nature.
No prior experience with horses is necessary.
The day includes guided relational exercises, equine-based experiences, time for reflection and integration, and a nourishing organic lunch shared together on the ranch.
