Women’s Wellness & Recovery Retreats with Horses

Women Empowered Recovery offers U.S.-based women’s wellness and recovery retreats with horses for women navigating burnout, grief, sobriety, caregiving fatigue, and major life transitions. These retreats are designed for women who may not resonate with traditional recovery models, but know something has to change.

This is recovery without labels, timelines, or pressure to perform. No fixing. No pretending. Just space to breathe, reconnect, and listen to what your nervous system has been trying to say for a long time.

Where women stop performing strength and start practicing truth — with horses as their guides.

Horse-assisted retreats create a kind of clarity that talking alone often can’t. Horses respond to what’s real, not what’s polished. They reflect presence, boundaries, and regulation in ways that are immediate, honest, and grounding. You don’t need horse experience, and there is no riding involved. What matters is willingness, not expertise.

These retreats are experiential, trauma-informed, and intentionally small — offering women a safe place to put the armor down and reconnect with themselves, their bodies, and their inner wisdom.

Who These Retreats Are For

These women’s wellness and recovery retreats with horses are designed for women who may not fit neatly into traditional categories — but know something has to change.

This is for you if:

• You’re exhausted from being the strong one, the capable one, the one who holds it all together.

• You’re navigating burnout, grief, caregiving fatigue, or a major life transition.

• You’re sober, sober-curious, or quietly questioning your relationship with alcohol or coping habits.

• You’ve done therapy, personal growth work, or “all the right things” — and still feel stuck in your body.

• You’re drawn to a slower, more embodied form of healing that doesn’t require reliving your story.

• You want clarity, regulation, and reconnection — not fixing, performing, or pretending you’re fine.

• You feel called to work with horses as teachers and mirrors, even if you don’t know exactly why yet.

You don’t need a diagnosis.
You don’t need the right words.
You just need the honesty to say: this way of living isn’t working anymore.

Who These Retreats Are Not For

Just as important — these retreats are not a fit for everyone, and that’s intentional.

These retreats may not be right for you if:

• You’re looking for a luxury spa vacation or a passive wellness experience.

• You want a rigid schedule, constant activity, or someone to tell you exactly what to do.

• You’re seeking a clinical treatment program or crisis intervention.

• You’re not open to experiential work or being outdoors with horses.

• You’re expecting quick fixes, breakthroughs on demand, or surface-level motivation.

• You’re not willing to slow down, reflect, or engage honestly with yourself.

This work asks for presence, not perfection.
Curiosity, not compliance.
Willingness, not performance.

Why This Clarity Matters

These retreats are intentionally small, trauma-informed, and deeply relational. The women who get the most from them are those who arrive ready to put the armor down, even if they don’t yet know what comes next.

If you’re unsure, that’s okay. Many women come feeling uncertain but curious — and leave with clarity they didn’t know was possible.
