In a new land, the simplest of joys can be profound—and life takes on a new quality because of the energy in which we come together. Time stands still when we immerse ourselves in a world of sensory awareness, exploration, and the practice of skills that quiet the mind and open the heart to the non-verbal world of connection.
July 10-16 The Life We Share Retreat: Our first session takes us on a profound journey into the co-creation between human and horse. Frederic and Magali invite us to experience Nomades!, their new Equine Theater Spectacular, on multiple levels in the first retreat. We will have an unprecedented opportunity to discover what Frederic and Magali have mastered through a lifetime of living with horses. This retreat includes training at liberty, riding with ease, intuitive development, AND provides the incredible excitement of Nomades!
July 17-23 From Technique to Delight Retreat offers three areas of development; riding with ease and working in-hand with Magali’s talented stallions, co-creating at liberty with the incredible Frederic and his impressive herd, and personal growth in the intuitive science of connection with Barbara and the Delgado Breed of horses. Everyone is welcome, and no previous equine experience is necessary. This program will take you beyond technique to absolute delight!
