About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

When was the last time you truly slowed down, without schedules, responsibilities, or distractions, and simply played, laughed, and connected with your child?

Join us in the breathtaking wilderness of northern Canada for a one-of-a-kind Mommy & Me Horse Healing Retreat, where nature holds you, horses ground you, and everything is lovingly taken care of so you can fully be present with your little one.

This retreat is designed for ease, joy, and connection. There is no planning, no cooking, no setting up tents, and no cleanup. You arrive, exhale, and receive. From nourishing organic meals to pre-set lakeside tents, every detail is handled so you can drop out of survival mode and into presence.

Together, you and your child will spend your days:

Connecting with and caring for horses

Swimming with horses in the lake

Learning gentle, guided horseback riding

Playing freely in nature

Swimming, exploring, and adventuring outdoors

Creating art and engaging with sound and rhythm

Gathering around campfires beneath wide-open, star-filled skies

While the children play, explore, and connect with animals and the natural world, moms are supported to rest, connect with other mothers, and soften back into themselves, without guilt, pressure, or expectation.

Through playful, age-appropriate experiences woven naturally into each day, children are gently supported in learning how to:

Understand their nervous system

Feel safe and confident in their body

Recognize and name emotions

Express feelings in healthy, supported ways

Learn simple tools to regulate when big emotions arise

All of this happens organically, through movement, laughter, curiosity, and connection, rather than instruction or correction.

This retreat is a beautiful blend of adventure, healing, play, and deep bonding. You’ll leave feeling more connected to your child, more regulated in your body, more supported as a mother, and deeply nourished by the land, the horses, and the shared experience, carrying memories and tools that extend far beyond the weekend.

Schedule

Saturday — Arrival, Connection & Adventure

9:00am | Arrive at the Ranch, Welcome Circle & Cleansing
We begin by arriving slowly and intentionally. Through a gentle welcome circle and energetic cleansing, moms and children are invited to land in their bodies, release the outside world, and enter the retreat space together. This sets the tone of safety, presence, and connection — signaling to the nervous system that it’s okay to relax and receive.

9:30am | Connecting With Your Horses & Saddling Up
Before riding, children and moms meet their horses on the ground. This is where trust begins. Through touch, observation, and attunement, participants learn how to approach horses with respect, calmness, and awareness — a powerful mirror for emotional regulation and non-verbal communication.

10:00am | Riding Lesson With Expert Guides
With experienced guides, moms and children are gently introduced to riding in a supportive, confidence-building way. This isn’t about performance — it’s about listening, balance, and feeling supported while trying something new together.

11:00am | Gallop Out on Our Journey
We head out into the open land, riding through breathtaking wilderness. This shared adventure builds courage, joy, and a sense of freedom — moments of excitement balanced by deep presence.

12:30pm | Lunch in Nature
We pause to nourish our bodies with a wholesome, grounding meal, allowing time to rest, hydrate, and integrate the morning’s experiences.

1:00pm | Ride to Our Campsite
The journey continues as we ride toward our lakeside campsite — a transition from movement into stillness, adventure into grounding.

3:00pm | Unpack, Ground & Free Play
Once settled, children are invited into unstructured play while moms soften into the land. This spaciousness allows nervous systems to downshift and creativity to emerge naturally.

4:00pm | Swimming With the Horses
One of the most magical moments of the retreat. In the water, barriers dissolve. Children experience trust, courage, and awe as they connect with horses in a completely different way. This shared experience creates deep emotional bonding and unforgettable memories.

5:00pm | Creative Nature Art & Sound Play
Using natural materials, rhythm, and sound, children express emotions creatively while moms witness and participate. This supports emotional expression without words — playful, embodied, and intuitive.

6:00pm | Gentle Yoga & Meditation
A soft wind-down for both moms and children. Movement and breath help integrate the day and prepare the body for rest.

7:00pm | Dinner
A nourishing shared meal that brings everyone together in ease and connection.

7:30pm | Campfire, Storytelling & S’mores
Under the stars, we gather around the fire — sharing stories, laughter, and sweetness. This is where memories are anchored into the heart.

8:30pm | Bedtime
Children settle into cozy tents, feeling safe, connected, and regulated.

9:00pm | Optional Motherhood Circle by the Fire
A sacred space for moms to share, reflect, and be held by other mothers — without judgment or fixing. Just presence, honesty, and support.

Sunday — Integration, Care & Completion

7:30am | Morning Yoga & Meditation
We gently awaken the body and breath, creating a calm, grounded start to the day.

8:30am | Emotional Awareness, Expression & Nervous System Play
Through movement, games, and guided activities, children learn how emotions move through the body and how to come back to calm. Moms learn alongside them, gaining tools they can take home and use together.

9:30am | Breakfast
A nourishing breakfast shared in community.

10:30am | Horse Games & Connection
Playful activities with the horses deepen trust, confidence, and attunement — reinforcing lessons of presence, leadership, and emotional awareness.

11:30am | Pack Up & Saddle Up
We prepare to journey back, reflecting on how much has shifted in such a short time.

12:00pm | Ride Back to the Ranch
A final ride together — often quieter, more embodied, and deeply connected.

1:00pm | Lunch & Rest
Time to refuel, relax, and savor the experience.

3:30pm | Brushing, Grooming & Horse Care Education
Children learn how to care for horses — fostering empathy, responsibility, and respect for animals. This reinforces the value of gentle leadership and care.

4:30pm | Closing Ceremony
We close the container intentionally, honoring the journey, the courage, and the connection created between mother and child.

5:00pm | Return Home
You leave with open hearts, calmer nervous systems, deeper connection, new friendships, and memories that will live in your bodies long after the weekend ends.

The ranch is located about a 2-hour drive from the Saskatoon Airport.

This is a great way to share the ride and the experience.

From Prince Albert Airport:

The drive from Prince Albert Airport to the ranch is around 30 minutes, making it a much shorter journey. The same options apply—arrange for a $100 CAD /$70 USD each way driver or, if you're interested, coordinate with fellow retreat attendees to carpool and share the fuel expenses.
