THE POWER OF PAUSE
NOVEMBER 16-17, 2024
The intent of this retreat is to regulate your nervous system & find your center, gain clarity on what really matters to you now, and release old, heavy ways of being that don’t fit anymore.
We’re gathering an intimate group of like-hearted people together who have a strong desire to feel more alive, energized and connected to themselves and the natural world. You’re invited to slow down with us and our herd of horses on our beautiful, 22-acre property.
We’ll be remembering (and practicing) the skill of pausing so you can tune into what matters most. We’ll also be assessing where your energy is currently being spent, clarifying what fuels you & discerning what’s ready to be shifted or completed.

The Details:
When: November 16 – 17th, Saturday & Sunday 9:30am – 5pm (lunch and snacks provided)
Where: HorseLink Farm in Bastrop, Texas. Directions and more details given upon registration.
Our time together:
- Experiential exercises & reflective time in nature
- Curated discussions & a vetted group of like-hearted people
- Experiences with the horses – where the magic happens!
You’ll walk away from this retreat:
– with clarity and feeling more empowered to make strong decisions.
– knowing how to easily regulate your nervous system so that you can access your own wisdom and stop looking ‘out there’ for answers.
– with tools and practices to use out in the wild that will give you the repeatable power to pause (the most overlooked step when we’re in stress mode).
– feeling more like the lighter, refreshed, energized version of YOU. The one that finds joy in the small things, remembers how to put life into perspective and can be present when it counts.
– having experienced the magic of connecting with masters of presence, regulation and emotional intelligence through the horses of HorseLink (no riding – groundwork only and no prior horse experience required)!
