SUMMARY:Sound in the Sand
DESCRIPTION:Connection through Gentle Curiosity\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Awe to Wonder: 2027 Dates Coming Soon				\n				\n				\n				\n									Come experience a retreat designed to nourish your soul side by side with the horses and a group of women. Nestled in a serene\, natural setting\, this unique experience combines the healing practice of Equine Gestalt Therapy with the concept of “glimmers”.  Glimmers bring to life the concept of slowing down and tuning into the wonders around us. This is  where we can connect to the little delicate moments that can so easily be overlooked . The weekend will be spent immersing ourselves in the wonderment and beauty both around us and within us. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n									The inspiration for this idea of slow and simple came from clinician Deb Dana ~ “Did you know about glimmers? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Like a micro moment that makes you happier\, a little moment of awe\, something that makes you feel hope. Once you start looking for them and embracing them\, your life feels so much sweeter.” When we are blocked with unfinished personal work\, unresolved emotions or are unable to relax\, the ability to appreciate the “awe” and “glimmers” in life becomes challenging. During this retreat\, individuals engage in personal and group sessions of the Gestalt Therapeutic Model\, side by side with our horses\, to provide grounding support in uncovering and processing personal insights. Participants are invited to play\, get creative\, and surround themselves in the beauty of the farm and prairie to reconnect to their inner spark. By surrounding ourselves with beauty through horses\, nature\, and wholesome local and organic food\, we can connect to ourselves and others and capture the beautiful “glimmers” in life. Linda will host a Zoom gathering a month ahead of the retreat in order to meet other guests\, ask questions and gather more information. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register Now\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n						\n				\n					 The Property \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									Come enjoy the 80 acre property of Soulful Prairies in Woodstock\, Illinois.

SUMMARY:Gong in the Grass
DESCRIPTION:Connection through Gentle Curiosity\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Awe to Wonder: 2027 Dates Coming Soon				\n				\n				\n				\n									Come experience a retreat designed to nourish your soul side by side with the horses and a group of women. Nestled in a serene\, natural setting\, this unique experience combines the healing practice of Equine Gestalt Therapy with the concept of “glimmers”.  Glimmers bring to life the concept of slowing down and tuning into the wonders around us. This is  where we can connect to the little delicate moments that can so easily be overlooked . The weekend will be spent immersing ourselves in the wonderment and beauty both around us and within us. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n									The inspiration for this idea of slow and simple came from clinician Deb Dana ~ “Did you know about glimmers? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Like a micro moment that makes you happier\, a little moment of awe\, something that makes you feel hope. Once you start looking for them and embracing them\, your life feels so much sweeter.” When we are blocked with unfinished personal work\, unresolved emotions or are unable to relax\, the ability to appreciate the “awe” and “glimmers” in life becomes challenging. During this retreat\, individuals engage in personal and group sessions of the Gestalt Therapeutic Model\, side by side with our horses\, to provide grounding support in uncovering and processing personal insights. Participants are invited to play\, get creative\, and surround themselves in the beauty of the farm and prairie to reconnect to their inner spark. By surrounding ourselves with beauty through horses\, nature\, and wholesome local and organic food\, we can connect to ourselves and others and capture the beautiful “glimmers” in life. Linda will host a Zoom gathering a month ahead of the retreat in order to meet other guests\, ask questions and gather more information. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register Now\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n						\n				\n					 The Property \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									Come enjoy the 80 acre property of Soulful Prairies in Woodstock\, Illinois.

SUMMARY:Whispers from the Herd
DESCRIPTION:Connection through Gentle Curiosity\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Awe to Wonder: 2027 Dates Coming Soon				\n				\n				\n				\n									Come experience a retreat designed to nourish your soul side by side with the horses and a group of women. Nestled in a serene\, natural setting\, this unique experience combines the healing practice of Equine Gestalt Therapy with the concept of “glimmers”.  Glimmers bring to life the concept of slowing down and tuning into the wonders around us. This is  where we can connect to the little delicate moments that can so easily be overlooked . The weekend will be spent immersing ourselves in the wonderment and beauty both around us and within us. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n									The inspiration for this idea of slow and simple came from clinician Deb Dana ~ “Did you know about glimmers? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Like a micro moment that makes you happier\, a little moment of awe\, something that makes you feel hope. Once you start looking for them and embracing them\, your life feels so much sweeter.” When we are blocked with unfinished personal work\, unresolved emotions or are unable to relax\, the ability to appreciate the “awe” and “glimmers” in life becomes challenging. During this retreat\, individuals engage in personal and group sessions of the Gestalt Therapeutic Model\, side by side with our horses\, to provide grounding support in uncovering and processing personal insights. Participants are invited to play\, get creative\, and surround themselves in the beauty of the farm and prairie to reconnect to their inner spark. By surrounding ourselves with beauty through horses\, nature\, and wholesome local and organic food\, we can connect to ourselves and others and capture the beautiful “glimmers” in life. Linda will host a Zoom gathering a month ahead of the retreat in order to meet other guests\, ask questions and gather more information. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register Now\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n						\n				\n					 The Property \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									Come enjoy the 80 acre property of Soulful Prairies in Woodstock\, Illinois.

SUMMARY:Feed Your Soul Gestalt Group - Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Connection through Gentle Curiosity\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Awe to Wonder: 2027 Dates Coming Soon				\n				\n				\n				\n									Come experience a retreat designed to nourish your soul side by side with the horses and a group of women. Nestled in a serene\, natural setting\, this unique experience combines the healing practice of Equine Gestalt Therapy with the concept of “glimmers”.  Glimmers bring to life the concept of slowing down and tuning into the wonders around us. This is  where we can connect to the little delicate moments that can so easily be overlooked . The weekend will be spent immersing ourselves in the wonderment and beauty both around us and within us. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n									The inspiration for this idea of slow and simple came from clinician Deb Dana ~ “Did you know about glimmers? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Like a micro moment that makes you happier\, a little moment of awe\, something that makes you feel hope. Once you start looking for them and embracing them\, your life feels so much sweeter.” When we are blocked with unfinished personal work\, unresolved emotions or are unable to relax\, the ability to appreciate the “awe” and “glimmers” in life becomes challenging. During this retreat\, individuals engage in personal and group sessions of the Gestalt Therapeutic Model\, side by side with our horses\, to provide grounding support in uncovering and processing personal insights. Participants are invited to play\, get creative\, and surround themselves in the beauty of the farm and prairie to reconnect to their inner spark. By surrounding ourselves with beauty through horses\, nature\, and wholesome local and organic food\, we can connect to ourselves and others and capture the beautiful “glimmers” in life. Linda will host a Zoom gathering a month ahead of the retreat in order to meet other guests\, ask questions and gather more information. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register Now\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n						\n				\n					 The Property \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									Come enjoy the 80 acre property of Soulful Prairies in Woodstock\, Illinois.

SUMMARY:Live Inspired
DESCRIPTION:Connection through Gentle Curiosity\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Awe to Wonder: 2027 Dates Coming Soon				\n				\n				\n				\n									Come experience a retreat designed to nourish your soul side by side with the horses and a group of women. Nestled in a serene\, natural setting\, this unique experience combines the healing practice of Equine Gestalt Therapy with the concept of “glimmers”.  Glimmers bring to life the concept of slowing down and tuning into the wonders around us. This is  where we can connect to the little delicate moments that can so easily be overlooked . The weekend will be spent immersing ourselves in the wonderment and beauty both around us and within us. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n									The inspiration for this idea of slow and simple came from clinician Deb Dana ~ “Did you know about glimmers? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Like a micro moment that makes you happier\, a little moment of awe\, something that makes you feel hope. Once you start looking for them and embracing them\, your life feels so much sweeter.” When we are blocked with unfinished personal work\, unresolved emotions or are unable to relax\, the ability to appreciate the “awe” and “glimmers” in life becomes challenging. During this retreat\, individuals engage in personal and group sessions of the Gestalt Therapeutic Model\, side by side with our horses\, to provide grounding support in uncovering and processing personal insights. Participants are invited to play\, get creative\, and surround themselves in the beauty of the farm and prairie to reconnect to their inner spark. By surrounding ourselves with beauty through horses\, nature\, and wholesome local and organic food\, we can connect to ourselves and others and capture the beautiful “glimmers” in life. Linda will host a Zoom gathering a month ahead of the retreat in order to meet other guests\, ask questions and gather more information. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register Now\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n						\n				\n					 The Property \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									Come enjoy the 80 acre property of Soulful Prairies in Woodstock\, Illinois.

SUMMARY:Human Herd Release (Cancelled)
DESCRIPTION:Connection through Gentle Curiosity\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Awe to Wonder: 2027 Dates Coming Soon				\n				\n				\n				\n									Come experience a retreat designed to nourish your soul side by side with the horses and a group of women. Nestled in a serene\, natural setting\, this unique experience combines the healing practice of Equine Gestalt Therapy with the concept of “glimmers”.  Glimmers bring to life the concept of slowing down and tuning into the wonders around us. This is  where we can connect to the little delicate moments that can so easily be overlooked . The weekend will be spent immersing ourselves in the wonderment and beauty both around us and within us. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n									The inspiration for this idea of slow and simple came from clinician Deb Dana ~ “Did you know about glimmers? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Like a micro moment that makes you happier\, a little moment of awe\, something that makes you feel hope. Once you start looking for them and embracing them\, your life feels so much sweeter.” When we are blocked with unfinished personal work\, unresolved emotions or are unable to relax\, the ability to appreciate the “awe” and “glimmers” in life becomes challenging. During this retreat\, individuals engage in personal and group sessions of the Gestalt Therapeutic Model\, side by side with our horses\, to provide grounding support in uncovering and processing personal insights. Participants are invited to play\, get creative\, and surround themselves in the beauty of the farm and prairie to reconnect to their inner spark. By surrounding ourselves with beauty through horses\, nature\, and wholesome local and organic food\, we can connect to ourselves and others and capture the beautiful “glimmers” in life.

SUMMARY:Wild Stillness (Sold Out)
DESCRIPTION:Connection through Gentle Curiosity\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Awe to Wonder: 2027 Dates Coming Soon				\n				\n				\n				\n									Come experience a retreat designed to nourish your soul side by side with the horses and a group of women. Nestled in a serene\, natural setting\, this unique experience combines the healing practice of Equine Gestalt Therapy with the concept of “glimmers”.  Glimmers bring to life the concept of slowing down and tuning into the wonders around us. This is  where we can connect to the little delicate moments that can so easily be overlooked . The weekend will be spent immersing ourselves in the wonderment and beauty both around us and within us. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n									The inspiration for this idea of slow and simple came from clinician Deb Dana ~ “Did you know about glimmers? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Like a micro moment that makes you happier\, a little moment of awe\, something that makes you feel hope. Once you start looking for them and embracing them\, your life feels so much sweeter.” When we are blocked with unfinished personal work\, unresolved emotions or are unable to relax\, the ability to appreciate the “awe” and “glimmers” in life becomes challenging. During this retreat\, individuals engage in personal and group sessions of the Gestalt Therapeutic Model\, side by side with our horses\, to provide grounding support in uncovering and processing personal insights. Participants are invited to play\, get creative\, and surround themselves in the beauty of the farm and prairie to reconnect to their inner spark. By surrounding ourselves with beauty through horses\, nature\, and wholesome local and organic food\, we can connect to ourselves and others and capture the beautiful “glimmers” in life.

SUMMARY:Feed Your Soul Gestalt Group
DESCRIPTION:Connection through Gentle Curiosity\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Awe to Wonder: 2027 Dates Coming Soon				\n				\n				\n				\n									Come experience a retreat designed to nourish your soul side by side with the horses and a group of women. Nestled in a serene\, natural setting\, this unique experience combines the healing practice of Equine Gestalt Therapy with the concept of “glimmers”.  Glimmers bring to life the concept of slowing down and tuning into the wonders around us. This is  where we can connect to the little delicate moments that can so easily be overlooked . The weekend will be spent immersing ourselves in the wonderment and beauty both around us and within us. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n									The inspiration for this idea of slow and simple came from clinician Deb Dana ~ “Did you know about glimmers? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Like a micro moment that makes you happier\, a little moment of awe\, something that makes you feel hope. Once you start looking for them and embracing them\, your life feels so much sweeter.” When we are blocked with unfinished personal work\, unresolved emotions or are unable to relax\, the ability to appreciate the “awe” and “glimmers” in life becomes challenging. During this retreat\, individuals engage in personal and group sessions of the Gestalt Therapeutic Model\, side by side with our horses\, to provide grounding support in uncovering and processing personal insights. Participants are invited to play\, get creative\, and surround themselves in the beauty of the farm and prairie to reconnect to their inner spark. By surrounding ourselves with beauty through horses\, nature\, and wholesome local and organic food\, we can connect to ourselves and others and capture the beautiful “glimmers” in life. Linda will host a Zoom gathering a month ahead of the retreat in order to meet other guests\, ask questions and gather more information. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register Now\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n						\n				\n					 The Property \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									Come enjoy the 80 acre property of Soulful Prairies in Woodstock\, Illinois.

SUMMARY:Feed Your Soul Gestalt Group
DESCRIPTION:Connection through Gentle Curiosity\n\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Awe to Wonder: 2027 Dates Coming Soon				\n				\n				\n				\n									Come experience a retreat designed to nourish your soul side by side with the horses and a group of women. Nestled in a serene\, natural setting\, this unique experience combines the healing practice of Equine Gestalt Therapy with the concept of “glimmers”.  Glimmers bring to life the concept of slowing down and tuning into the wonders around us. This is  where we can connect to the little delicate moments that can so easily be overlooked . The weekend will be spent immersing ourselves in the wonderment and beauty both around us and within us. 								\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary. 								\n				\n					\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n									The inspiration for this idea of slow and simple came from clinician Deb Dana ~ “Did you know about glimmers? A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger. Like a micro moment that makes you happier\, a little moment of awe\, something that makes you feel hope. Once you start looking for them and embracing them\, your life feels so much sweeter.” When we are blocked with unfinished personal work\, unresolved emotions or are unable to relax\, the ability to appreciate the “awe” and “glimmers” in life becomes challenging. During this retreat\, individuals engage in personal and group sessions of the Gestalt Therapeutic Model\, side by side with our horses\, to provide grounding support in uncovering and processing personal insights. Participants are invited to play\, get creative\, and surround themselves in the beauty of the farm and prairie to reconnect to their inner spark. By surrounding ourselves with beauty through horses\, nature\, and wholesome local and organic food\, we can connect to ourselves and others and capture the beautiful “glimmers” in life. Linda will host a Zoom gathering a month ahead of the retreat in order to meet other guests\, ask questions and gather more information. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									\n					\n						\n									Register Now\n					\n					\n				\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n						\n				\n					 The Property \n							\n			\n			\n		\n\n						\n				\n				\n				\n									Come enjoy the 80 acre property of Soulful Prairies in Woodstock\, Illinois.
