About this Event
Saturday September 26th + Sunday September 27th
Middle school is a season of tremendous growth and change. This weekend retreat invites girls ages 11–12 to unplug from the pressures of everyday life, connect with horses, express themselves through creativity, build meaningful friendships, and cultivate the quiet confidence that comes from trusting themselves and learning from the wisdom of the herd.
Through hands-on experiences, creative expression, and equine-guided activities, girls will develop practical skills for navigating relationships, managing emotions, and leading with confidence. They'll return to school feeling grounded, courageous, and empowered from the inside out.
What the horses teach us: The key to healthy relationships
- Communicate with Confidence
- Build Trust Through Respect
- Set Clear, Healthy Boundaries
- Develop Emotional Resilience
- heART™ Lead Leadership
🐴 Please Note: THIS IS NOT A RIDING WORKSHOP. All interactions with the horses will take place on the ground in partnership with the herd. No horseback riding is involved. If you have concerns about the horses, please reach out to me, so I can answer your questions.
🐴 Once you have registered, Sheri will reach out to connect with you prior to the group to answer questions and help prepare you for the experience.
This retreat is part of the Equus heART™ Pilot Program in collaboration with WindWalkers Equine Therapy Center. Scholarships are available with an application.
