Sacred partnership
Sacred Partnership is a five day retreat hosted by Dr. Heather Mack at The Dream Ranch where guests cultivate a deeper partnership with yourself, the land and horses. The experience includes horsemanship, groundwork, mountain rides, and hiking, fishing, & mountain biking. Our team teaches you the skills you need to truly connect with horses and your inner self while immersing in the wilderness. You don’t have to have horse experience to participate as long as you are willing to learn!
We offer tranquility, knowledge, and enlightenment.
Connection
Sacred partnership is about connecting with yourself, nature, and the horses.
After a couple hours of yoga, meditation and horse group therapy, there is often a morning hike, ride or horse activity. You are given couple hours after lunch to journal, meditate or just rest on your own, and then there will be many options for the rest of the day. Options include more horse time, hiking, mountain biking, archery, fishing, swimming in the river, and painting(we often paint the horses!).
awareness
What is most important is that you find a routine that nurtures your awareness of your bodys’ needs and you set reasonable goals for your longevity by personalizing your own experience.
Daily itineraries are tailored to each group that comes for the retreat, so you get to customize the program and activities to what you want to explore.
presence
We only take 6 participants so it stays intimate and everyone has their own living space. We serve clean food, home-cooked meals and there are a variety of activities. Be warned though - internet use is for emergencies only to increase time spent in the present.
