Details of this retreat
Living Your Wild and Precious Life - A Private Equine-Supported Retreat in the Mountains of Costa Rica
What will you do with this one wild and precious life?
This intimate 4-day private retreat invites you to pause, listen deeply, and reconnect with what truly matters. Set in the mountains of southern Costa Rica, this experience is designed for one person, a couple, or a small family seeking meaningful transformation in a natural, soulful setting.
Through equine-supported sessions, you’ll engage with horses as mirrors of your inner world. No riding or horse experience is necessary. Horses reflect our emotional truth without judgment, helping us move beyond the mind’s chatter to access clarity, calm, and authentic direction.
Your journey will draw inspiration from the Medicine Wheel, exploring the cycles of life, the elements, and the directions as guides for personal awareness. Each retreat is fully customized to meet your needs—whether you are navigating a life transition, rediscovering purpose, or seeking integration after a profound experience.
You’ll stay 5 nights with a welcoming Costa Rican host family as part of our homestay program, offering a glimpse into simple, heart-centered living. Wake to birdsong, enjoy home-cooked meals, swim at the base of waterfalls in a clear blue river, and feel the rhythm of a slower pace.
This retreat is not about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering yourself.
Come to listen, to breathe, and to live your wild and precious life.

Schedule
🌿 Sample Itinerary: Living Your Wild and Precious Life
Each morning begins with a nourishing breakfast prepared by your local host family. Then you’ll journey to the Eponicity Farm—your place of reflection, nature, and partnership with the herd. Each day aligns with one of the four directions of the Medicine Wheel, supported by equine-assisted coaching, nature immersion, river time, guided meditations, and lunch.
🌀 Day 1 – East (Spring / Air / Vision & Possibility)
Arrive at the farm, meet the horses, and set your intention for what’s emerging. In this phase of renewal and clarity, we’ll invite vision, fresh perspective, and possibility into your field. An equine session opens the direction; a swim in the river refreshes; the afternoon closes with a meditation to anchor what you’ll step into.
🔥 Day 2 – South (Summer / Fire / Expression & Vitality)
Today we embody the energy of fire: vitality, joy, engagement. Through horse-supported work and guided nature walks, you’ll explore where your spirit wants to express, and where you may have dampened your voice. Lunch is followed by a reflective river moment and journaling on what lights you up or what dimmed your glow.
🌊 Day 3 – West (Autumn / Water / Release & Transformation)
The West invites deep reflection, release, and integration. With the herd as allies, you’ll explore the currents of emotion, endings, and what’s ready to compost into new growth. Time at the waterfalls gives you nature’s mirror. A closing meditation helps you release what no longer serves.
🌲 Day 4 – North (Winter / Earth / Wisdom & Visioning)
In the stillness of the North we gather the threads. Using the horses and nature’s rhythm, we explore your next phase—rooted in clarity, grounded in purpose. Your integration session helps you craft a practical plan for what’s next. After lunch, we close the retreat circle, leaving you more aligned, calm, and ready to live your wild and precious life.
