The Wildroots Retreat

 

Paintrock Canyon Ranch

July 26 - 31, 2026

Join Wildroots Collective for a five-night retreat designed for women who understand the dynamics of a full life — carrying careers, families, dreams, responsibilities, and the equally necessary instinct to rest. Guided by a team of licensed holistic practitioners, this week will bring together movement, equine-guided sessions, creative work, and reflective practices to help you reset and return to yourself.

Please note this is a women only retreat.

Reserve Your Spot

The Program

Throughout the week, you'll explore what it means to want a full, vibrant life and to trust that you are already enough.

Programming will include:

  • Equine-guided sessions: Partner with horses to explore co-regulation, boundary awareness, and embodied presence.
  • Yoga, breathwork, and somatic practices:
    Gentle movement and grounding exercises that support emotional and nervous-system regulation.
  • Hiking and nature-based integration: Guided time outdoors that encourages attunement, rhythmic movement, and deeper connection with the natural world.
  • Herbalism: Hands-on exploration of plant medicine and seasonal rhythms.
  • Creative expression: Low-pressure art and creative exercises that support insight and nonverbal processing.
  • Guided reflection: Journaling, facilitated group discussions, and intentional pauses to help integrate the week’s experiences.
