This is for you ...
You’re feeling stretched thin, successful on the outside but quietly disconnected on the inside, and you long to feel steady, clear, and fully yourself again.
This retreat with horses, nature, mindfulness, and authentic connections is where you will Return to Self.
Not all retreats create lasting change ... this one is intentionally designed to do just that.
This Colorado equine-assisted retreat offers a unique opportunity to reset your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and rediscover clarity through experiential work with horses. Set in the peaceful mountain landscape of Guffey, Colorado, the retreat blends equine-assisted learning, somatic practices, breathwork, and guided reflection to support meaningful personal transformation. Through partnership with horses, time in nature, and a supportive small-group environment, participants gain new insight, deepen self-awareness, and develop tools for living and leading with greater steadiness and authenticity.
What makes this retreat different?
More than time away
​Guided by Horses
​
Horses respond to presence, not performance.
Through equine-assisted experiences, you’ll receive immediate, honest feedback about how you show up, revealing patterns that are often impossible to see on your own.
You don’t just talk about change.
You experience it.
​​
​
Somatic & Nervous System Based
​
This retreat is grounded in neuroscience and somatic practice helping you move beyond insight into lasting integration.
Through breathwork, embodied practices, and experiential learning, you’ll learn how to regulate stress, and increase resilience.
Lead your life from steadiness
rather than survival mode.
​​
​
The Power of Colorado
​
Surrounded by wide skies, mountains, and open space, your system naturally begins to slow down, creating the conditions for restoration, reflection, and meaningful change.
Nature becomes part of the process.
​​
​
Led by the HRD. (Heather, Roz, Danielle)
​
Together, Heather, Roz, and Danielle bring decades of combined experience in equine-assisted learning, somatic coaching, neuroscience, and leadership development.
Their collaborative approach creates a retreat that is both deeply supportive and profoundly transformative.
​
Balancing structure, safety, and spaciousness
throughout the experience.
Imagine waking up each day supported by a rhythm that allows you to slow down, reconnect, and fully arrive in yourself.
Daily Rhythms
Days that breathe with you ...
Each day will open with the opportunity for yoga, meditation, breathwork.
After a nourishing breakfast we'll have an equine assisted activity with the group to work on regulation and life alignment.
​
After lunch we will offer options for quiet time at the ranch or other activities such as horseback riding, reiki, nature walks / hiking, massage, 1-1 coaching (with or without the horses), etc.
​
In the early evening there will be another opportunity for yoga, meditation, or breathwork followed by a delicious dinner.
Evenings will be capped off with a ceremony (fire, cacao, full moon...)
Spacious enough to soften.
Structured enough to grow.
Our Location
The Copper Lodge, Guffey, CO
Space to breathe. Room to reconnect.
Down the Road Less Traveled
The Copper Lodge sits tucked beneath Colorado’s vast skies, where rolling pastures meet mountain horizons and the only soundtrack is wind in the grass and distant horses.
​
Removed from distraction and surrounded by natural beauty, this ranch setting allows your body to remember a slower rhythm — one that supports deep rest, honest reflection, and meaningful transformation.
​
It’s the kind of place where time stretches, conversations deepen, and something inside you finally exhales.
Where you'll stay
Thoughtfully designed spaces for comfort and connection.
During your retreat, you’ll stay in one of The Copper Lodge’s charming on-site casitas.
Each casita provides a cozy mountain retreat of its own, complete with a private kitchen, comfortable living space, and shared bathroom. Kitchens will be stocked with essentials so you can enjoy quiet mornings, tea after evening sessions, or moments of solitude whenever you need them.
​
You’ll have the flexibility to choose the experience that best supports you:
​
Private Casita (Sold out!)
Enjoy your own standalone space for rest, reflection, and complete privacy throughout the retreat.
​
Single Room in a Shared Casita
Have your own private bedroom while sharing the casita’s common spaces with fellow retreat participants, offering a balance of personal space and gentle community.
​
Double Room in a Shared Casita
Share a room with two beds within a casita, ideal for friends attending together or those who enjoy a more communal retreat experience.
​
Whether you choose solitude or shared space, each casita offers a peaceful place to unwind, integrate the day’s experiences, and settle into the slower rhythm of ranch life.
​
Wake to mountain light, step outside into fresh Colorado air, and return each evening to a space designed for rest and restoration.
Arriving here ...
Part of the magic of this retreat is stepping away from the pace of everyday life.
The Copper Lodge’s peaceful Colorado setting makes that possible.
​
Located near the small mountain town of Guffey, Colorado, the lodge feels wonderfully removed while still being easily accessible.

​
You'll be supported, welcomed, and never pressured to engage beyond what feels right for you.

Is this the right time?
You may feel excited about this retreat, yet still notice hesitation.
That's normal.
Woman join us while navigating full lives, meaningful responsibilities, and the feeling that there is never the "perfect" time to step away.
​
Then they realize:
Waiting until everything settles, usually means waiting indefinitely.
​
If you're feeling tired but unable to rest...
If something in you is asking for space, clarity, reconnection ...
If you sense you're ready for a reset, even if you're not sure why ...
​
This is your moment. It is time to come home ... Return to Self.
This is your moment
Not because everything is perfectly timed.
But because something in you is ready.
Ready to rest.
Ready to reconnect.
Ready to return differently
Ready to return to self.
If this feels true, we invite you to join us.
