Essence and Earth Retreat | April 10-12

$995.00

April 10-12, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. each day

Essence & Earth is a quiet retreat designed to calm your nervous system, replenish your compassion reserves, reset your mind/body/spirit wholeness, and reconnect with your intuitive wisdom.

Over the course of three days, we’ll participate in grounded, land-based experiences that invite grounded presence, non-linear exploration and gentle transformation. Through a blend of somatic practices, time with horses, expressive arts, and herbal medicine making, you'll explore new ways of listening—both to the natural world and to yourself. Whether you're in a life transition, seeking clarity, or simply longing to feel more connected, this retreat offers space to pause, reflect, and remember what truly matters. Remember, self awareness is your super power!

Activities include:

  • Gentle, intuitive time with horses (no riding of horses)

  • Expressive mixed-media art and journaling in nature

  • Guided plant walks and hands-on herbal remedy crafting

  • Gluten-free lunches prepared together daily, using organic, nourishing ingredients

  • Spaciousness to rest, reflect, and be replenished by land, creativity, and community.
    Location: Casari Ranch, Santa Rosa, California

Cancellation Policy - Please see cancellation/refund policy below.

You don’t need to be an artist, a horse person, or have experience with plant medicine—just a willingness to show up as you are and allow curiosity and imagination to grow.

Essence & Earth was everything I needed. We made art, worked with plant medicines, spent time with horses, and laughed in the kitchen together. It woke something in me that felt ancestral and grounding, a kind of nourishment I didn’t realize I’d been missing. Being in community and stepping into Ariana’s world gave me the reset my spirit was looking for.

My experience at the Essence and Earth retreat last weekend was deeply nourishing and grounding. Spending time with the horses in their natural environment brought me into a profound awareness of both my animal body and my spirit body. There was something incredibly healing about simply being with them-no expectations, just presence.
We also spent time in the garden, learning about plants and powerful medicine plants.
The hands-on experience of making our own salves and tinctures was both educational and empowering. I felt deeply connected to the land, the plants, and the ancient wisdom they carry.
What made this retreat even more special was being so warmly welcomed onto Ariana & Wesley’s land and into their home. That genuine hospitality created a true sense of belonging and safety.
The group was small, which allowed for open, authentic connections—| felt seen, heard, and supported throughout.

I’m so grateful for this experience and am looking forward to not only my EGE journey but my personal one as well - which I’m starting to see are one and the same!
