“The land knows you, even when you are lost.”

—Robin Wall Kimmerer

When we lose our relationship with the sacred wild of the natural world we lose our awareness and sense of belonging. Come explore your inner wildness and reconnect with your True Nature by spiritually connecting with ALL of creation!

This exclusively private, intimate and rustic 2 night Horse-centered Nature-based fall retreat for 6 wild and wonderful women will be held in the lush, rolling hills of southern Chesterhill, Ohio with overnight lodging reserved for you at The Hideaway at Buck Ridge and includes a contemplative trail-ride experience at Smoke Rise Ranch and Resort.

Soaking time in nature and soul-to-soul interactions on the ground with the gentle horses who live on the 18 acre privately owned Resting Place Farm homestead will reconnect you with the wisdom of your body and nourish the wild, extravagant wisdom in your spirit.
