Women’s Workshops & Retreats
Reclaim your wild
Somewhere along the way, so many of us learned to be smaller. Quieter. To tend everyone else first and save the leftover scraps for ourselves. But underneath the roles and the responsibilities, she’s still there – the wild one. The free one. The woman who knows her own voice.

THE ALCHEMY OF EQUUS: Coming home to your True Self
November 6-8, 2026 | 9am – 5pm
Dove Creek Ranch | Canyon, Texas
Alchemy is the ancient art of transformation – turning one state of being into another.
At Dove Creek, the alchemy happens through Equus – the horse.
The herd becomes our wisdom teacher. The land becomes our sanctuary. Ceremony, movement, creativity, and community become the vessels through which we listen more deeply, release what we have been carrying, and reconnect with what is true.
We are not coming together to become different women.
We are coming together to uncover the women we already are.
That is The Alchemy of Equus – the transformation that becomes possible when women step away from the noise of everyday life and enter into relationship with horse, land, body, spirit, and one another for 3 full days.
THE FOUR DIRECTIONS OF THE ALCHEMY
The Alchemy of Equus Wheel is a guide for returning to wholeness. Like the horse, we are constantly responding through mind, body, emotions, and spirit. When one part becomes rigid, disconnected, or overwhelmed, it affects the whole. The four directions of the wheel invite us to explore four essential capacities:
Why horses?
There is something ancient between women and horses. Both know what it means to be powerful and gentle at once. Both sense everything. Both thrive in circles of trust.
Horses don’t respond to who we pretend to be; they respond to who we truly are. Standing beside a thousand-pound creature who has been around for 56 million years and who chooses to stand beside you, something awakens. Your breath deepens. Your shoulders drop. Your true voice returns. The horses call forth the woman beneath the busyness of life, and she is magnificent.
What awaits you
Our workshops and retreats blend equine experiences, mindfulness, yoga and movement, talking stick circle, nature based activities, ceremonial time in nature , reflection, and sacred circle time in the wide-open beauty of the ranch. Together, we:
- Renew – step out of the noise and into stillness, sky, and breath.
- Restore – release what you’ve been carrying and fill your own cup first.
- Reconnect – with your body, your intuition, and your deep inner knowing.
- Reclaim – your wildness, your freedom, your unapologetic voice.
- Rise – and let the world hear you roar.
In the company of women
There is magic in a circle of women held by a herd of horses. Stories are shared. Laughter comes easily. Tears are welcomed. Sisterhood forms in a single afternoon and lasts far beyond it. Whether you join us for a half-day workshop or a multi-day retreat, you’ll leave standing taller, rooted, radiant, and free.
You were never meant to be tamed.
Come home to your wild.
