When was the last time you did something for YOU? Imagine... a day dedicated to finding your inner compass, reconnecting to that spark inside of you, and spending time with a group of women on the same path supporting each other.

Me Time: The 'New Normal' Women's Retreat is an opportunity to reconnect and invest time building your resilience with a group of like-minded, supportive women. We will make intentional space for personal restoration and create some rituals and practices for how we can ease back into the outside world.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck or lacking clarity on what truly matters to you? Or just plain tired of COVID quarantine??!! You know what life you crave and relationships you desire, but are unsure what is holding you back from getting there? Is it possible that you aren’t clear on how to ask for what you want or the support you need? If any of this resonates with you, then it is time to make a decision for YOU and create the life YOU want.

Why Our One Day Retreat

The Circle Up Experience offers customized learning and leadership programs. We partner people with horses to create a deeper understanding of relationship dynamics and leadership styles. Working with horses provides a unique source of honest and powerful feedback about how we communicate and relate with each other. The peaceful power and wordless messages of horses remind us of our authentic nature and restores our most important leadership instincts.

  • Gain a greater sense of purpose and direction

  • Become a stronger, more confident and aware woman

  • Connect with women on the same path

  • Deepen your understanding of self

  • Create more authenticity and consistency in communication styles

  • Build a stronger sense of presence and awareness
