MANY HOURS SPENT TALKING AND LAUGHING
“I experienced healing in many ways, in particular during sessions with Denice and the horses. Denice is amazing at running therapy sessions with the horses, guided by what each participant feels they want and need to work on. I had no prior experience with horses, but immediately felt comfortable with them, as well as a sense of connection and comfort. I found the horses to be very intuitive to my feelings. At one point I just hugged one of the horses, and felt a great sense of release. The support of the other women who were all dealing with their own unique issues was also very therapeutic. Many hours were spent talking and laughing after a delicious meal, and wine of course!
My favourite parts of the retreat were the sessions with the horses, connecting with the other women, and a day trip to Assisi. There was a lot of free time to explore the beautiful venue, spend time in nature and with the animals, and journal or read a book in the gorgeous accommodations. Pictures do not do the venue or accommodations justice!”

A CONNECTION TO MY BODY, SOUL AND MIND.
“I needed something different beyond my traditional therapy. Something not confined to a room. I’ve heard working with horses can help you take control of your nervous system and I know that taking chances is how you grow so I decided to give it a try.
It’s amazing what can happen in a short time. The horses have an overwhelming sense of calmness and they reflect your emotions. They force you to be present. They helped me look internally and self-reflect. Working with Denice and the horses, the connections with the other participants, and being surrounded by nature allowed me to destress and embrace the culture of Italy. I felt a connection to my body, my soul, and my mind. I also felt spiritually very connected. It made me realize how connected and similar we all are.”

Meet the Horses
The horses of Monestevole, Italy were our teachers (and our friends). Each of these divine beings had a unique way of guiding our healing journey, connected to their own experiences living wild in the Umbrian mountains.

TRIP OF A LIFETIME
“I decided to go on this retreat because I knew my friend really needed it, and the truth is, I needed it just as much. Some highlights of the trip were getting to know the other beautiful souls I was with and also getting to know all the staff, Anne, and her family. We felt like family. We all ate the most delicious food together outside under the grape vines – it was so magical.
My favourite part was being around the horses and having Denice guide us. To be in the presence of such authenticity changed me. I am overjoyed that I gifted myself this retreat because I knew I needed it and am worth it. I experienced such healing being in a beautiful place and sharing my story with amazing human beings who graciously held space for me. I came home with such a sense of peace and deep friendships. The connection we shared was unreal and surprised all of us. It was a trip of a lifetime and one I will not forget!”
Accommodation
Visit Monestevole, Italy
'Mon-es-tay-vo-lay' is a charming 15th-century restored stone estate welcomes you to this vibrant, green corner of Italy.
Every room is adorned in a traditional and luxuriously rustic Italian style, from the bedrooms to the stone hallways and open kitchen.
