RECLAIM YOUR WILD SOUL
A FULL-DAY PRIVATE RETREAT WITH HORSES
held on a private ranch in beautiful Santa Barbara
Reclaim Your Wild Soul is a gentle yet powerful full-day retreat designed for women who are ready to come home to themselves—body, heart, intuition, and authentic truth.
Set in the quiet, grounding presence of the herd, this day retreat offers a sanctuary from the busyness, expectations, and emotional noise of everyday life.
Here, you’re invited to soften, breathe, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been silenced, sidelined, or forgotten.
Through guided meditation, nervous-system regulating practices, embodied coaching, and reflective time with the horses, you will learn to listen more deeply to your inner wisdom and rediscover the untamed, intuitive voice that lives within you.
The horses act as non-judgmental mirrors, helping you see where your energy is held, where it wants to flow, and what is ready to be reclaimed.
Led by Melissa Costello, Equine Partnered Coach and Counselor of Spiritual Psychology, you’ll engage in gentle, guided interactions with horses—no riding involved—where these intuitive beings become mirrors for your internal world.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more deeply connected to yourself—recharged with a sense of possibility, softness, and inner strength.
This retreat is an invitation to rise into who you truly are, guided by presence, compassion, and the wise, gentle energy of the horses.
Come as you are. Your wild soul has been waiting for you.
