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.”

“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.”

What is Equine Gestalt Coaching?
Quite simply, it’s healing through horses. As prey animal, horses are highly intuitive and are masters at reading human body language.
