What To Expect
Over five days and four nights (Wednesday through Sunday), the retreat will take place in Marble Falls, Texas (within an hour from the Austin airport), guided by trauma-informed practitioners with over 10 years each of experience facilitating women’s recovery retreats.
You are invited to explore, amongst free ranging horses, the forty-six-acre ranch nestled in the hill country of Austin, Texas. You can shake out the issues in your tissues with yoga & dance, revel in playfulness and curiosity, take to the trails on foot or horseback, commune with goats, chickens, honey bees, and other farm animals, walk the meditation labyrinth, luxuriate in the plunge pools, hot tub, sauna, or simply lounge in a hammock. Rest and renew in nature. Nourish yourself with delicious food and good company, and share your heart fireside with other women who make you feel heard, seen, and supported. And, gather with like-hearted souls in ceremony with the intention to thrive in recovery.
The retreat creates endless possibilities for every woman.
