Connecting people to land and nature so each can heal the other
Welcome to our family farm in the Russian River appellation of the Laguna de Santa Rosa region, Sonoma County, California, where water meets sky. We offer farm experiences that promote healthy and inspirational forays and our farmstand featuring own homemade wool goods, herbal delights, teas, wine, preserves, spices, and our carefully selected organic home goods that embody our farm to home passion and philosophy.
We are home to SkyHorse Equine Guided Education and Coaching programs, founded by Ariana Strozzi Mazzucchi in 1989. Ariana and her unique SkyHorse EGE™ brand has trained some of the best professionals offering healing programs for humans and horses worldwide. We are honored that Ariana still offers specialized equine guided programs at our ranch.
Our medicinal herb gardens—where we grow herbs for teas, tinctures, salves and oils— and ever expanding berry and fruit orchards add more healing energy to our palette of ‘keep calm and carry on’. Our ranch is organically tended. Wildlife and native plants are respected members of our family, just like our other animal companions.
This 3 day retreat is a great way to take care of yourself—a time to calm your nervous system, reset your mind/body/spirit wholeness, replenish your compassion bank, and reconnect with your intuitive wisdom. Enjoy the country lifestyle at Casari Ranch, a place to rest, reflect, and replenish. You don’t need to be an artist, a horse person, or an herbalist—just a willingness to show up as you are and allow curiosity and imagination to be your muse. Activities include:
Gentle, intuitive time with horses (no riding of horses)
Garden forays and hands-on herbal remedy crafting
Holistic Somatics™ practices for mind/body/spirit balance
Inspirational mixed-media art and journaling time in nature to encourage your creativity
Open Listening, neutral observing practices
Gluten-free organic lunches prepared together daily
Earth prayers of gratefulness and giving thanks
“Our passion is to create a ripple effect that fosters balance, harmony, and sustainability for the well-being of Mother Earth. Are you ready to create ripples?” -Ariana Mazzucchi
