A Rewilding Retreat

May 23rd to May 26, 2025

Have you ever watched a band of mustangs?
They are expressive, fierce, and playful.
They thrive in community.
And they embody raw and unapologetic freedom. 

Wild horses are forged in blood, bone, and honey,
And so are you-
You just have to remember you are. 

The truth is- these horses need you to rewild yourself.

Our horses have lived through the loss of their freedom, abuse, and neglect. In entering the world of humans, they have been stripped of their true nature. And when you embody your raw and untamed nature, the horses start to remember who they are. Together you are creating space to heal, grow, and prepare the horses for eventual adoption. 

Join for a weekend of wild medicine for the soul.
A weekend of wild horse gentling and deep feminine expression. Sharing sacred space with horses and camping off grid under the stars in the Nevada desert. Eating meals in community over an open flame. Immersing yourself in the land and releasing parts of yourself you no longer identify with into the wind. 

Chris Nichols skillfully guides you through the wild horse gentling process

Tarah Zdunic returns to facilitate powerful meditation and embodiment sessions.

All meals and rustic, off grid accommodations provided.

Space limited to 6 participants - with rustic camping "glamping" accommodations.  Savory meals prepared Dutch oven style over an open flame firepit by the amazing Katy Martin.

This will be a small, intentional and intimate gathering for women.

Cost:  $1250.00 all-inclusive registration requires a $400.00 deposit.  (if participant cancels less than 2 weeks prior to retreat deposit is non-refundable)
