.Letting Go Cowgirl Retreats
There is no better place than the breathtaking mountains of Montana. You will be pampered with home cooked meals, massages, the fuzzy muzzle of a horse, and that much sought after peace and quiet. You will gain strength and courage through the horses, your coaches, and riding in this beautiful, empowering country. This is an opportunity to learn what in your life no longer serves you and nourish what does. Grit and grace go hand in hand in transforming your dreams.
June and Linda have created an experience where you will learn to connect, grow, and let go in the presence of a horse. Horses are beautiful listeners and teachers. They bring into our awareness what we already know, without judgment or prejudice.
Our Cowgirl Retreats are for anyone interested in change and healing. Are you searching for deeper meaning in your life? Are you experiencing a significant life transition? Searching for hope? Or maybe in need of healing after a rough relationship or loss of a loved one? Are you tired of the trauma or PTSD in your life? Or simply ready to let go and live a more fulfilled life?
We believe you have within YOU everything you have been seeking. We are here to help you find it.
The LETTING GO Retreats are for Cowgirls who are seriously ready to let it go. You know you want change in your life, you are tired of the trauma that you have carried for too long. These retreats are truly life changing. Some of your time will be spent learning new life skills, mornings will be group equine gestalt sessions, and part of each day you will be out riding this beautiful country, you get to enjoy the ride while nature helps you heal.
The June Cowgirl Retreat is 5 days, Sunday afternoon through Friday lunch, and the July Cowgirl Retreat is 4 days, Sunday through Thursday lunch. There are both an investment in yourself.
Both retreats are coached by June Voldseth of Bonanza Creek Ranch and Linda Bruce of Soulful Prairies. They are both equine gestalt coaches and lifelong horsewomen and have been coaching partners for 12 Cowgirl Retreats. Both are certified by Touched by a Horse in the Equine Gestalt Method and the Gestalt Coaching Method masters course.
