HOW IT WORKS
Sample Schedule
An example of a one-day team retreat is described below. Each retreat is custom-designed in collaboration with you to meet the goals of your organization and team.
Settling In
Participants take a walk in the woods to transition from the hustle-bustle of life to the peaceful setting of the farm. We follow this will a mindful transition and orientation to the session.
Team Building
Team members come together to complete activities to help them get to know each other better and explore how they coordinate action.
Teamwork & Horses
Members of the team work together with each other and their equine partner to explore themes in leadership, followership, collaboration and communication.
Integration
Participants describe their key take-aways in a closing circle. This deepens learning as the team shares what they have discovered and how it has impacted them.
Round Out the Day
You might choose to add an additional team experience by gathering socially around the fire-circle, or by taking a hike in a nearby park. We are also conveniently located near Lone Oak Brewing Company, a popular post-retreat gathering spot.
OUR METHODOLOGY
Horses are uniquely effective partners for learning and growing.
Equines have a special ability to understand what is going on within us and help us gain insights about ourselves. Like humans, horses engage in complex social dynamics and they can teach us how to navigate relational complexities. Horses help us uncover our innate gifts and inspire us in our quest to develop our best selves.
