Retreat Testimonials

I left this retreat with new found knowledge about my authentic self.  Everything was profound, but the work with “G” was so surprising and powerful for me.  I have a new appreciation for the relationship of other creatures (horses) and how their gifts can enrich my life. The environment and Julie’s honest, caring, and intuitive manner was so refreshing. I received much knowledge about the way to think concerning plant medicine. I loved tasting and learning about plants.  Julie, you have a wonderful gift. I feel renewed and whole. I’m excited to continue to learn from you and make plants a more important part of my health. ~ Susan (NC)

 It was great to experience horses being able to let go of what I know. The ‘dome of silence’ allowed for a candidness that we as women often don’t get to experience and was very powerful. Learning to tell our stories without telling ourselves “stories” is life changing.   ~Crystal (NC)

The loss of my child took me down mentally, emotionally, and physically.  This retreat grounded me on my feet and healed my heart, restoring the piece/peace that was missing. Horse wisdom is profound and life changing for me.                                                              ~Tricia (NC)

I have a greater appreciation of being in the body and being present with this experience of being with 'G' and Julie. I encourage you to take advantage of this time to gently transform and let go of long-held limitations. Experience being well cared for and being honored.
Julie, you are a gem! Thank you for hosting such an intimate beautiful retreat and sharing “G" with us. He is such a gift as well!   ~Kindal (NC)

As a long-time herbalist and previous horse owner, Julie's retreat seemed right up my alley.  The actual experience, however, is nothing I could have anticipated.  From the get-go, Julie's gentle kindness, the supremely comfortable housing, and her organized approach to the weekend really set the stage.

I came to the retreat with a particular issue in mind with which I wanted some insight.  "G", on the other hand, brought up a whole different issue for me ! Working with him directly under Julie's guidance and talent, took me to a spiritual level that allowed me to heal and appreciate an old experience that I had misunderstood (as a youngin') and put it to peaceful rest. Wow !!

It has been several weeks now since that weekend and I still feel very present with the experience.  There has been a 'shift' within.  I cannot recommend this retreat highly enough. For me, the healing has been loving, gentle, deep and lasting.  Do for yourself what our culture does not encourage- be bold, be open, experience lasting change, peacefully.                                                                 ~Judy (Florida)
