Soul Purpose Retreat ~ dynamic in nature 

Location: Southern Spain

Dates: May 11th-17th and October 5th-11th 2025

“A transformative experience. Expertly facilitated life lessons from horses, in a stunning setting in Spain” (Grace, Edinburgh)

The Soul Purpose retreat is an invitation to take time out for yourself, expand your intuition and self-awareness, and experience how you can change your life by changing your thoughts and feelings. Not only by spending time with the horses, but you will dive deeper with vision board work, somatic release, mindfulness, and journaling. All in a beautiful mountain setting.

If you yearn to create the life your heart craves, this retreat is for you.

It is about breaking free of limiting patterns of behaviour and stepping out of your comfort zone to experience deeper self-awareness, clarity, and connection; and in doing so, creating a life of deeper meaning and purpose.

“Since the retreat, I am achieving more than I could’ve thought possible – huge shifts and steps, using the dynamic vision board in everyday life. And I feel amazing. And full of light. Thank you”. (Anji, Edinburgh)

The retreat offers a safe space where you can untangle the things which are blocking your progress and develop new capabilities going forward. You will become clear about who you are, what you want in life, and what gives your life meaning and purpose.

And…we enlist the transformational power of our horses to help you work things out.

Bringing horses into the mix is an innovative approach to personal growth and emotional healing. On the retreat, our horses will play a central part in the self-development workshops because they provide something that human beings can’t. They speed things up because when you interact with them, their response to you is instant and unfiltered.

This is because horses are prey animals and need to be finely attuned to their surroundings to survive. When you interact with them, they respond to your body language, tone of voice, and energy. And through observing their response to you, and your response to them, you can learn a lot about yourself; for example, how you show up in a space, how your body language affects others, how you connect with people. This is something other people may not tell you or even notice due to social conditioning.

Through interactions with our horses, you will get an authentic, instinctual response from them because they are not stuck in deep rooted social conditioning in the way people are. Their response gives you immediate non-judgemental, non-verbal feedback and throws light on core patterns of behaviour which you might not have been aware of.

These behavioural patterns don’t just show up in the field, they run like a script through your life, affecting your choices, relationships, and life path. By bringing negative behaviours into your awareness, you can begin to change and clear old patterns and experience that change reflected back, not just in relationship with the horses, but in your life.

The beauty of this instant feedback is that through your connection with the horses, you can learn to be consciously aware of your inner reality and see how that affects the world around you. You will be able to experience and embody the effect of making a conscious shift in your thoughts and emotions and seeing that shift instantly reflected back to you by the change in the horse. This is such a powerful learning, to experience how you can change your world from the inside and see immediate and positive results.

“I have some news…I have met someone through dancing. All the connection and boundary work and personal development I did with you on the retreat has given me some amazing relationship skills, and the opportunity to create and enjoy a beautiful healthy connection with another. I couldn’t be happier.” (Marian, Southampton)

The retreat is a unique environment in which to experience your transformation. Unlike the traditional workshop space, we will be outside in the field with the horses, in a dynamic natural environment, where things can change really quickly. This offers a moving landscape in which to experience yourself and learn how you cope with sudden change and uncertainty. A dynamic environment takes away the element of predictability that a workshop room provides and offers you a space in which to experience and try new ways of being.

The unique benefit of connecting with horses, alongside skilled facilitation, brings an extra depth and fast pace to the process of self-discovery.  With the guidance of the facilitators, who will help to interpret the horse’s responses to you, you’ll be able to see and feel in an embodied sense how you can integrate new awareness about yourself into your life to create positive change.

Horses also help you to become grounded and present, to be in the here and now, and come out of the analytical head. They show you when you are not aligned with your inner feelings; such as saying one thing outwardly when you feel something different inside. They show you when you are disconnected and fragmented or over thinking. They help you to slow down and connect with your senses. It is here that you connect to your intuitive self and find your own answers.

To help with this, we begin each day taking time to get grounded and present before entering the field and become more aligned with the horses’ slower pace of being.

“The retreat is one of the best things I’ve done for myself. I got much more out of it than I ever expected. I felt that I was in safe hands and that there was an approach that was being followed. It felt like a luxury to be able to spend so much time with the horses.” (Grace, Edinburgh)

You will leave the retreat feeling grounded, connected, trusting of your intuition, confident, clear about your next steps, and ready to create the life you want.

Facilitators

The retreat will be professionally facilitated by Midi Fairgrieve and Alex Worsley, and will incorporate intention setting, dynamic vision board work, understanding the power of our thoughts and feelings, uncovering blocks and negative behaviours, building self-confidence, resilience, developing awareness, and intuition, and time spent with the horses will be foundational to the retreat. 

We will be encouraging and supporting you throughout the retreat by holding a safe space along with the horses, where you can experience the learning that our horses have to offer, and by working with the facilitators to process and embody that learning.

If you feel ready to take a quantum leap and align with who you truly are, no more excuses, no more doubts, no more procrastination! – then join us in Spain and step out beyond the boundaries of self-limitation and embody your full potential.

No previous experience of horses is necessary, all interactions with the horses are on the ground

Our Philosphy

One of our core values when collaborating with horses is to regard the needs of the horses in a way which truly honours them. A horse is not a tool to be used, but a willing partner in the process of helping humans to heal. We interact with the horses at liberty which gives them a choice in whether to engage or not, plus it gives a far more authentic experience for you, when they have that choice.
