Retreat: Equinisity

You’ve heard of running with the wolves, but this experience is decidedly less harrowing.

Their hooves beat a rhythm that has you in a trance. You can feel the power through your thighs and it resonates up your body. Your thighs started out clutching in fear and now serve as a connection to that power and to the rest of the herd that is making its way through the desert-like hills of British Columbia. There is nothing other than this herd, nothing other than right here, and right now. 

Like the free roaming horses, llamas and bovines, your spirit is free to wander the 320 acres of grassy hills and magical forests. Tap into the energy of the underground crystal river, commune with the bull, and recline and relax during a horse healing session. At night, find simple comfort in your rustic canvas and wood cabin.

Whether you just need to get away from the city or to find a deeper connection, facilitator Liz Mitten Ryan promises a transformative time. Retreat themes vary but one thing that persists is the connection to the herd. Not a horse person? The facilitators will help you bond with the animals to take any anxiety and turn it into tranquility.

With wide open spaces, fresh air and a palpable connection to the animals, in just a few days on the ranch, you won’t be running with the horses, you’ll be one with the horses.
