Intuitive and Free: An equine embodied writing retreat
/
Spend a weekend on our gorgeous 140 acre horse ranch learning how to live (and write) from horses in this experiential equine embodied writing retreat. Through our Equine workshops we will be combining horse attunement with embodied creativity, discovering the potent alchemy of these powerful practices.
Horses cradle our hearts, offering us a mirror to their noble spirit and allowing us to engage with their sincere, intuitive communication. They call to us, inviting us to descend into our hearts and connect with the timeless wisdom that lives within; they draw out our unity with nature.
Come spend time in a supportive circle, deepening your inner capacity, and connecting to your whole self.

Weekend flow: After you get settled in Friday afternoon we will take you on a tour of the ranch and settle you into yurt life with a farm to table meal experience. Be prepared to start your mornings with a beautiful Vinyasa flow in our private yoga yurt followed by an amazing breakfast. Each day will have a variety of workshops on horses, writing, and embodiment, ending the day with a dip in the pool/jacuzzi, some free time before dinner and beautiful reflective campfire and of course s’mores!
We'll be guided by Bri Gallo, who brings over four decades of horse training and teaching alongside international group leadership, and teacher, writer, and bodyworker Johanna Franzel, who draws from decades of somatic creativity facilitation for deep growth and transformation.
“A space full of support, permission, courage, and care where we could all show up just as we were in each moment. What an extraordinary gift! … The themes you used to move us through this course feel like guides for moving through life. I want to take the course again right now!”
Discover the healing potency of these powerful animals in your writing and life. Join us for this deeply experiential immersion to reconnect with voice, intuition, body, and trust. It’s rare that one can have an authentic experience that truly reflects who you are in the moment.
Horses are unique in their ability to see beneath our conditioning, histories, or personae. These majestic animals offer us direct insight into our deep selves, showing us our habits of self-regard and how we communicate inwardly and outwardly. In our self-reflective workshops, participants learn to practice effective communication through non-verbal actions and embodied alignment. Horses offer profound teaching in how we inhabit our lives. Note… this is not a riding weekend. We will be working side by side with horses and their energies.
