“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Who told you that you weren't wild and free?
When we lose our relationship with the land and creation we lose ourselves.
So come explore your wild side in nature and with horses! Liberate your limiting beliefs and reconnect with your True Nature by spiritually connecting with all creation!
The texture of the world, its filigree and
scrollwork, means that there is the
possibility for beauty here... which answers
in me a call I do not remember calling,
and which trains me to the wild and
extravagant nature of the spirit I seek. (Annie Dillard)
This exclusive 2 night Horse-centered Nature-based fall retreat for 10 wild and wonderful women will be held in Zanesfield, Ohio with private overnight lodging reserved for you at The Kirkmont Center. The retreat this year includes a contemplative trail-ride experience at Marmon Valley Farm!
This retreat takes place in natural settings with a max of 10 participants so you can enjoy a safe, serene weekend. Masks are suggested and hand sanitizer will be available.

Un-mounted soul-to-soul time with the horses at Circle P Sanctuary will reconnect you with the wisdom of your body and “the wild and extravagant nature of the spirit” which you seek to know.
Soaking time in nature will awaken and nourish the wild inside you as you interact with the wild of creation.

her hands play with clay
her feet run over the earth
her heart seeks beauty
she feeds on poems
finds belonging on water
drinks in air
hones her gratitude
her life is a journey
of deepening trust and widening circles
