Come experience this all-inclusive retreat designed to ignite and inspire your practice and your individual growth with the expertise of four seasoned dual grads, who are also the Directors of Hope Through Horses, Inc.

Are you wanting to do more personal work?

Would you like to gain ideas for your practice?

Are you longing for connection and fun with other grads?

Maybe it’s all of the above!

All grads are welcome.

Join us as we reignite the fire within  at the stunning Soulful Prairies!   

*All proceeds will be donated to Hope Through Horses, Inc, a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit which in turn may benefit your practices. And earn 20 CEU’s! *

This retreat was created for those of us longing for the kind of deep connection we experienced during our Gestalt training. For many graduates, the sense of belonging and shared time together fades after the program ends. Not only will this be a time for reconnecting and doing personal work if desired, but also an opportunity to find fresh perspectives through the eyes of other Gestaltists.

Whether you have a thriving practice or your feeling stuck or simply treading water this will be an opportunity to find inspiration, grow and be reminded of the beauty at the heart of the Gestalt work. We will, of course, make time for light hearted laughter and fun, too.

Early Bird Pricing: $1,950 ~ October 14th – October 28th, 2026

The Property

Come enjoy the 80 acre property of Soulful Prairies in Woodstock, Illinois. Take time to retreat in the quiet pines, commune with the fairies in the Fairy Forest, walk the labyrinth and trails and spend time with a horse, a goat, a pig and the natural wildlife on the property. There is so much of Soulful Prairies to enjoy and explore.

Your overnight accommodations will be in the Guest Suites on the lower level of the Main House or in the historic 1830’s log cabin. Accommodations are single or double occupancy.

The four shabby-chic bedrooms of the Guest Suites share two full bathrooms and a cozy common sitting area with kitchenette amenities. You will also have access to the Pasture View Lounge where you can relax and view the herd wander the back pastures of the property.

Go back in time while staying in our historic log cabin. The three upstairs bedrooms share a full bathroom, full kitchen, and sitting area on the first floor. Enjoy visiting your Cabin “neighbors,” our Soulful Prairies chickens, goats and pig.
