The treehouses are nestled among the lush trees and exotic flora of the jungle, providing the perfect setting for a tranquil getaway.

Relax and recalibrate in a permaculture horse farm, nestled in the Caribbean jungle of Costa Rica. Here, Kindred Spirits has developed a way of life centered around the great study of yoga, the wisdom of horses, observation of nature, and female energy. While Kindred Spirits is led and hosted by Terry Newton, this retreat is curated together with Enrica Andreeto. At this retreat, they believe that personal transformation requires a holistic approach that integrates the mind, body, and spirit. That is why they have designed a retreat that combines different tools to help you connect with your true self.
Their equine coaching sessions connect you with horses on a deeper level and show you insights into your own behavior and thought patterns. Horses are intuitive and non-judgmental animals that can mirror your emotions and behaviors, providing powerful feedback and insights into your subconscious thoughts and feelings. Combined with the rejuvenating power of yoga and the healing energy of the jungle, "a return to you" retreat offers a truly transformative experience that will help you return to the most important person in your life - you.
Whether you are looking to overcome personal challenges, break through limiting beliefs, or simply gain a deeper understanding of yourself, this retreat is the perfect opportunity to step outside of your daily routine and invest in your own personal growth and transformation. Mindfulness walks to the beach and waterfalls will bring you in direct contact with nature and the five elements of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, all of which you are made of, bringing balance and harmony to all the levels of your body, mind, and soul.
Sessions of meditation and breathwork and the powerful sound vibrations of the Tibetan bowls in the noble presence of the horses will cleanse and reenergize you, connecting you to universal consciousness. Through a fire ceremony with the healing vibrations of Kirtan chanting, you will kindle your inner fire and feel the fire and passion for life arise in you, creating a stronger and happier you, the one you were always meant to be. This retreat will help you discover yourself, release what no longer serves you, and empower you to live your life with passion, joy, and grace.

Did you know that the human heart's electromagnetic energy is central to your overall well-being? In recent years, researchers have uncovered the incredible impact your heart's electromagnetic field has on your emotions, mental state, and relationships. A harmonious and coherent heart not only makes you feel at ease but also positively influences those around you.
On the flip side, stress and negativity lead to a disrupted electromagnetic field, interfering with your interactions. Now imagine harnessing an electromagnetic field five times stronger than that of a human - enter the world of equine therapy. Horses are extraordinary creatures known for their heightened sensitivity to energies and emotions around them. When you connect with a horse, your communication extends far beyond physical touch, delving into the realm of energy.
By engaging in equine coaching, you will develop a deeper understanding of your own energy and how it impacts your environment. Experience firsthand the amazing benefits of equine therapy as you forge a powerful bond with these magnificent animals. Do not miss out on this transformative journey to self-awareness and personal growth.
For this retreat, you will get to experience the horse guided empowerment® method (HGE®). Horse-guided empowerment is an innovative method of coaching and therapy first introduced by Christina Marz in 2008, and since then, it has gained popularity around the world as an effective way to facilitate deep healing and personal empowerment. One of the key aspects of HGE® is that the horses are given a significant role in the process.
They are not merely passive participants, but rather they are often referred to as the “therapist” as they are active and valuable contributors to the healing process. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which relies on verbal communication and analysis between humans, during equine therapy, it is the horses are allowed to use their own natural instincts and intuition to react to the behavior and energy of those around them.
The horse's role in HGE® is not to solve problems or provide answers, but to act as a catalyst for self-discovery and growth in participants: by receiving non-judgmental feedback from the animals, participants are able to find answers and solutions on their own. This process often leads to greater self-awareness and a newfound sense of personal empowerment, as individuals realize they possess an innate capacity for growth and change.
