September 2025 Horse Retreat Recap: Recalibrate Your Vitality
On Saturday, September 27, 2025, Balanced Soul and Epona Healing with Horses co-hosted a retreat that invited participants to transform low energy into feelings of vitality.
Ten participants gathered at the Hamilton Farm in Greensburg, Indiana, spending the day tapping into creativity, imagination, and intuition. They offered their personal intentions to three equine professors for reflection and healing feedback.
Speaking the Language of the Horse
Throughout the afternoon, participants explored practices that encouraged presence and body awareness while learning how to “speak horse.” The horses, known for their intuition and empathy, provided meaningful insights that deepened everyone’s understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their connection to community.
The retreat began with innovative somatic grounding techniques designed to help participants balance their energy and attune to the slower brain waves of the horse. This shift in rhythm helped everyone feel more centered and grounded in the present moment.
Setting Intentions and Awakening Creativity
Each participant used guided worksheets to identify personal intentions for healing and self-discovery. This reflective exercise strengthened the understanding of the bond between humans and horses and provided a clear framework for continued growth after the retreat.
The group also explored Active Dreaming techniques inspired by the work of Robert Moss. These creative exercises encouraged participants to use the intuitive, right-brain side of the mind to explore imagination, synchronicity, and wonder. Through games and experiential activities, participants uncovered personal messages and patterns that can guide their lives with greater clarity.
To encourage ongoing connection, two horse talismans were gifted: a nine-knot horsehair piece to support focus on intentions, and a painted horseshoe to symbolize the power of luck.
A Journey of Connection and Renewal
After learning techniques to balance their energy, participants were invited to interact directly with the horses and receive guidance from the herd during sacred horse sessions. The day concluded with a restorative outdoor sound bath beside the pasture, surrounded by nature and the calming presence of the horses.
The Spirit Horse Retreat: Recalibrate Your Vitality was a soul-nourishing experience of self-discovery, connection, and healing. Participants left with a renewed sense of purpose and the tools to continue their personal journey, fostering a lasting bond with both their spirit horses and their own vitality.
If you missed our fall retreat, we invite you to join us for the Spring 2026 Spirit Horse Retreat. The date will be announced soon.
With love and alignment,
