Experiencing the Sacred Wisdom Within
Whispers from the Herd: April 30th - May 2nd
Ground yourself deeper into the freedom your soul is yearning for. Feel the powerful energy of the Freedom Reigns herd on the lush, green, hills of this 3,800-acre horse sanctuary in San Juan Bautista, California. This retreat is an opportunity to rebalance and reconnect with yourself as you observe hundreds of horses in their natural surroundings.
This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary.
We will spend our days as a group immersed in the transformational experiential Gestalt process, connecting as a group and taking time to unwind and reflect in the natural beauty of the sanctuary amongst the wild herds. Through observation of the horses, you will gain new perspectives. Work alongside Linda, the wild horses, and this breathtaking land to find and come unleash the freedom within.

The premise of Gestalt is that we hold our own answers within and we are completely whole as we presently are. Linda’s Gestalt Practice allows clients to tap into their innate sense of who they are, through awareness. Often, unfinished business from an individual’s past can continue to create a reactionary state within. Through the experiential Gestalt process, this energy can be transformed and clients find the freedom to reconnect with their own inherent truth and wisdom.
