Ready to break free of what’s holding you back?
The Unbridled Retreat® is devoted to reconnecting to your authentic self – with the help of horses, nature, and supportive women. Immerse yourself in 4 days of transformation and life-changing breakthroughs at a beautiful Colorado dude ranch.
The Unbridled Retreat® is an adventure for your mind, body and soul.
This is an empowering retreat, an opportunity to break free of what holds you back. It’s not only a change of scenery — it’s the perfect backdrop for transformation. Explore the wide open spaces of Colorado. Reconnect with yourself. Have your heart touched with the magic of horses. And make friends for life.
Why it works:
Horses are highly intuitive and are masters at reading human body language. They sense your energy and see you for who you are, not who you pretend to be.
Horses give you honest, non-judgmental feedback which help you reclaim your authentic self.
The Unbridled Retreat® frees you like no other. You’ll share moments with horses and supportive women that change the way you see yourself, provide clarity, and help you become the most courageous, authentic version of you…guaranteed.
At the end, you’ll be kicking up mountain dust
and galloping into the future with:
You can spend years in talk therapy and complain to others about what’s not working in your life, OR you can embark on a soul-stirring, life-changing adventure on a beautiful dude ranch.
There’s no playing small in Colorado where your soul can run free.

“All the women in our retreat came up with a word that captured the essence of the experience: Connection. Peace. Release. Healing. Heartfelt. The arena, a tranquil healing space, gave each of us time to take in a deep breath and take away tremendous insight.”
JODY

“I can not begin to describe the significant difference Devon and the horses have made in my life. Coming home from the Retreat with such clarity and a plan empowered me in the most powerful ways. And as a result of our individual and group work, I have been able to acknowledge, honor, appreciate and love myself. It has been life-changing and I will always be grateful.”
TINA WEIN

“I returned home from Devon’s Retreat with a buoyant heart and a sense of self-respect that I hadn’t felt in years. I’d left my fear in the dust and had a ton of fun in the process!”
DEBORAH DONOHUE
“I regained my strength and confidence with the love and support of the woman and horses at the Unbridled Retreat. If you find your life could use a check up, then make the choice to attend. The best healing awaits you.”
VICKI MOORE HIRSCH

“I went to the Retreat without knowing what I was getting myself into. It turned out to be the best thing I could have done for myself. It was amazing to be with a group of supportive women who love horses. An unforgettable experience!”
ANGELA CAVALIERE
New Jersey
“I went in as a die-hard skeptic of the Retreat but was drawn to the prospect of the connection with horses. Little did I realize that the horses and other women would deeply and permanently touch my heart and help me discover a facet of my personality that I was completely unaware of before this Retreat. I emerged from the Retreat with a different perspective on life and a heightened commitment to living fully and authentically.”
MARIANNE ZYCHAL
Pennsylvania
“I came to the Retreat eager to receive assistance accessing parts of myself and emotions that are usually elusive. I couldn’t have imagined the profound grounding and connection to my internal world that occurred. Devon is a powerful intuitive, and combined with the deep sensitivity of our horse partners, creates a spectacular container for deep healing. The other women who convened for this weekend were the just right cohort for beautiful support and camaraderie. I can’t recommend the Unbridled Retreat enough!”
CHRISTI JARLAND
North Dakota
“The Unbridled Retreat was a complete breakthrough. I’ll never forget Merlin, standing beside and supporting me while I stood there open and vulnerable in my authenticity. Devon, the other women, and the horses saw all of me, and I felt acknowledged in a new way. I left the Unbridled Retreat with undeniable confirmation, and trusting my heart.”
