ANGELA CAVALIERE

“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

“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

“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.”
