Healing Retreats with Horses

Horse Time.... an invitation to slow down, notice deeply, and embrace the pace of nature.

The land, and animals have been waiting for this time in history. Where seekers of peace and lovers of Mother Earth reconnect with what it is we’ve lost, or forgotten.

Connection. Intuition.  Compassion. Clarity. Wildness. Freedom.

Tracy GrayStar, a Compassionate Cowgirl  and vision holder of Graystar Wellness Farm offers seasonal day & weekend RETREATS for people from all walks of life who want to explore connecting meaningfully to horses, deeply with nature, and more peacefully with themselves in order to experience a revelation or welcome a transformation.

 Retreats here offer opportunity to:

  • explore land based rituals & ceremonies (Cowgirl Shamanism)
  • Guided experiences with our healing herd
  • Sound healing & mindful movement
  • Nourishing food 
  • Access to our outdoor SPA for restoration and rejuvenation.
  • Stay Onsite OR offsite (accommodations available) 

These single day or weekend offerings  are designed to offer you the time and space you need, to CONNECT with what matters and has meaning for you now.

Together, we’ll explore the power of rest, play and connection in nature.  Cowgirl Shamanism ~ are land based healing practices that have the power to remind you who you are, what your birthright is. Such practices offer you support and guidance in releasing blocks or barriers within. Reclaiming your sovereign nature in NATURE is a potent pathway to more peacefilled living, it’s also how each one of us can help to heal our Earth.   

Participants leave these experiences feeling:

  • Connected, Inspired, Empowered
  • In Alignment with their unique authenticity
  • Deeply supported by the  land and animals
  • Physically, Mentally, Spiritually Relaxed & Restored
  • With new friendships, cheerleaders and community of sisterhood support

Reconnect with what matters to you NOW

Do you find yourself amidst an intense season of life?

Are you:

  • navigating a divorce or relationship end
  • amidst a career shift, or planning a change
  • in a new community, or soon to be making a move
  • experiencing loss or grief
  • experiencing illness or chronic pain 
  • healing trauma or attending to a wounding
  • living in survival mode, coping with chronic stress & overwhelm 

 

Maybe you find yourself asking  ‘Am I living on purpose?’ or ‘What do I need to do, to experience FLOW and EASE in my life?’ or ‘How can I let go of these patterns or stories I’m stuck in?’  

If this sounds like you – worry not, you’re not alone. I see you…. Welcome, you belong here.


 

Here’s why NATURE, HORSES, REST and REFLECTION can help.

Horses possess a magical (other worldly) ability to reflect the deeper inner-workings of the human psyche. They sense spiritual longings and can help to connect you to your own and collective helping spirits.  

Horses have a keen sense of intuition. Their instinctual way of BEING in the world can offer humans who engage with them important sensory information that benefits us personally, professionally and most of all spiritually.   They share their compassionate heart in such profound ways that it enables humans to experience safety, belonging protection, guidance and insight. This deep support and honest reflection invites you to let go of outdated concepts about who you should be and how you should live. Instead ushering in ideas and visions of what else may be possible. 

Time interacting with them in the sacred embrace of nature, allows you to re-find your creative connection to life, helping you re-ignite inspiration, so you can dream into reality the next chapter of your life.  

Interacting with horses inspires profound insights into how aligned you are with your values and intentions. Also, where old stories, habits or ways of thinking and behaving might be blocking your ability to show up effectively in your relationships and life.

Through both passive and  interactive rituals and practices, plus time and space to simply BE with the herd, and commune with the land.

 The focus of our retreats & offerings is NOT about learning horsemanship skills or practicing riding horses.  It’s about getting in touch with your younger, curious and  imaginative self. It’s about connecting with your wise inner elder, your ancestors and spirit guides.

Imagine being SO connected to what has heart and meaning  that creating new perspectives and living your life on purpose flows naturally with ease and grace.
