Healing Humanity to Heal the Earth
Horses are healers and advanced beings. They are conduits to higher frequencies and remind us to be present; not in the past, not in the future, but in the here and now. When we ask to receive the healing gift from horses, we witness firsthand their ability to move stuck energy, calm emotions, and clear the mind. Our herd of 12 horses honors this role and looks forward to working with participants in our Horse Healing Retreats.
Journey into the realm of horse spirit medicine
Experience profound, healing through yoga, sound, ceremony, movement, and horse medicine.
Reset rigid patterning through free liberty, and conscious connections with our shaman horses.
Set intentions to receive insights, solutions, clarity, and leadership guidance to impact your life.

We invite participants to tap into the innate healing abilities of the horses and honor them as shamans in their role of awakening our consciousness.
At this retreat, participants will rewrite their narrative and release blockages to make space for new energy. They are guided to set intentions for insights, solutions, and clarity while expanding confidence and competence through movement and bareback partnership. The horses illustrate parallel issues of trust, forgiveness, and threshold limits, and illuminate emotional intelligence skills for mindful decision-making and past grief healing.
Participant Testimonies from our May 2023 Retreat
Horses are advanced beings that have been waiting for humanity to wake up and get it. They’re animals with instinct, yes, but they are also stellar beings with intuition and connection to source energy
About the Center
Starr Horse Retreats is a holistic equestrian retreat center. We teach awakened-consciousness healing modalities surrounding mindful living and respect for the planet. We care about the air we breathe, the health of our oceans, and what we do with our waste. We are bringing the medicine of nature back to the people.
​
Our retreat center has three guest houses, four arenas, a 10-stall horse barn, a workshop room, Gathering Grounds, and 30 acres of pasture with multiple obstacle courses and moguls for walking and riding.
We work in stewardship with the horses advocating for their needs and care, and we work with humans through the horses. We understand that healing humanity heals the earth.
This 3-night Shamanic Horse Healing Retreat is for participants who want to experience profound healing through yoga, sound, sweat lodge ceremony, dance, and horse medicine. Participants will receive meals, lodging, and tremendously powerful healing modalities.

Although we are a fully functioning farm - with hay fields, tractors, horses, chickens, and goats… We are only 30 minutes from South Lake Tahoe, and 45 minutes from Reno (international airport). We are a few miles away from Interstate 50, 80, and Hwy 395, so you get the convenience of modern life while staying on a dream farm oasis.
​
We are on a 30-acre property with multiple gathering grounds that include a tipi, sweat, lodge, fire pit, immersion tub, arenas, obstacle courses, moguls, stargazing deck… And many different activities abound in this area, including snow skiing, boating on the lake, crystal mountain - hunting for crystals, old ghost towns, Virginia City, and four-wheeling adventures… There is a plethora of activities! We extend that if people want to stay beyond the four days of retreat, our participant concierge can help create an amazing adventure vacation in America’s Wild West!
