Restore Your Soul Retreat
July 5 – 9th, 2026
The Restore Your Soul retreat offers a heartfelt opportunity to reconnect with your truest self—to rediscover the parts of you that may have been set aside while navigating life’s ups and downs.
You’ll find deep support and connection with our team of cowgirls who believe in the healing that unfolds when women and horses come together to dig deep and to reconnect at the soul level.
Our equine partners will stand beside you as you explore, connect, and restore—finding inspiration in the beauty of the land and the wisdom of the horse.
Together, we’ll share nourishing meals, quiet reflection, the simple joy of nature, and make new friends. You’ll have the chance to release old hurts gathered along life’s trail and breathe more freely as you open your heart to healing.
This retreat welcomes both seasoned equestrians and those who simply love being in the presence of horses. Riders will enjoy time exploring the Bonanza Creek ranch and drawing strength from its mountains and trees. For those who prefer not to ride or are beginners, there will be time to rest, wander, and simply be. A private Equine Gestalt session will also be offered.
You’ll leave with a renewed sense of peace, clarity, and a deeper connection to who you truly are—before the world got in the way.

MEET OUR COACHES
ABOUT JUNE
June Voldseth built Bonanza Creek Guest Ranch in 1993 as a way to bring together two of her passions—horses and people. What began as a fun adventure in the guest ranch business soon became much more – inspiring and life changing
At just the right time in her career, she discovered the Touched By a Horse equine gestalt program, which opened the door to making Bonanza Creek a place where guests could truly learn to live their dreams. June completed four years of training through the program, earning certification in both the Equine Gestalt Method and the Gestalt Coaching Method, developed by Melisa Pearce, a pioneer in the horse-human healing movement.
June has grown and healed through the Touched by a Horse program and has spent the past decade hosting life changing Cowgirl Retreats. Equine Gestalt Coaching is her deepest passion. She finds joy in watching people open their hearts, heal old wounds, and rediscover their strength as they connect with nature, horses, and themselves. June believes these retreats awaken a powerful truth — that real change begins when we take responsibility for our own lives, stop placing blame, and choose to move forward with courage. True freedom, she says, doesn’t come from resisting our fears, but from understanding and facing them.
A proud mother of two wonderful daughters and one son, and Nana to eight amazing grandchildren, June embodies the cowgirl spirit. Shaped by her Wyoming ranch roots and deepened by a lifetime of working alongside her husband and son on their 25,000-acre Montana ranch, she lives what she teaches.
ABOUT ALLI
Horses have always been present in Alli Caraveo‘s life, holding space for her as she walked through life changes, abusive relationships, loss of her father to drugs and eventually suicide, as well as the bumps and bruises that come from living. Horses have never told her to be less than or more than she was in the moment.
So when she came across the Touched by a Horse™ program, she knew she had found her calling. Horses had seen into her soul and helped her to look deeper within herself. Alli is honored to partner with rescue horses as they help humans set down their pain to be carried away by the wind on their path to wholeness.
Alli works with women of all ages who have faced deep disappointments. When life knocks you off course, it can be hard to find your way back. You may look fine on the outside but feel empty inside—going through the motions, raising kids, or setting aside your own dreams. As you step into a session with Alli, you’ll be invited to let down your walls and rediscover what your soul truly craves.
Alli is a 4 year graduate of Touched By a Horse, dual certified in both the Equine Gestalt and Gestalt Coaching Methods.
