Cowgirl Wind Down Retreat
posted 3/29/25
Join us for a modified Cowgirl Roundup experience, involving a heart healing, life changing retreat guided by "horse medicine" - a connected and slowed down approach to listening to horses, nature and ourselves for personal growth and wellness.
October 19th-24th - 5-nights
Whether you’re a seasoned equestrian or a beginner, you’ll gain tools to enhance your riding, learn mindfulness, and embrace the life of a Cowgirl both in and out of the saddle! What’s included:
5-nights lodging and 14 ranch meals
Hiking trails, archery, wagon ride, yoga, optional massage
Daily sessions focused on self-awareness, wisdom, and knowingness
Hands-on workshops and trail rides with seasoned ranch horses
Time to connect with nature, like-minded women, and your authentic self in a supportive environment.
$2,350 per person, plus a 3.7% state tax and a suggested 15% gratuity
Co-facilitated by Ulla Frederiksen, Stephanie Wray, an amazing herd of horses, and the breathtaking land that Sylvan Dale calls home. Let yourself deeply rest in your love of horses and nature in this retreat for women with all levels of horse experience.
We are united by our love of horses and our desire to know them and ourselves more deeply.
Ulla...
...will create and hold space for you to connect and explore your inner essence, gently supporting your individual knowingness with deep kindness, respect and a trauma-informed approach.
In partnership with horses and nature, we invite you to creatively explore new ways to live an intentional and purposeful life. Find out more about Ulla at the link below!

…being in nature and connecting in community with the herd - a container will be created for you to explore, feel, express, metabolize, and transform in body, mind, and spirit all held with a trauma-informed lens. An opportunity to listen and witness yourself and others as we experience, share, create, and have some fun and laughter…a perfect reset as we move in to fall.
