Cowgirl Wind Down Retreat
posted 1/13/26
Join us for a modified Cowgirl Roundup experience, involving a heart healing, life changing retreat guided by "horse medicine" - a connected and slowed down approach to listening to horses, nature and ourselves for personal growth and wellness.
October 18th-23rd - 5-nights
Whether you’re a seasoned equestrian or a beginner, you’ll gain tools to enhance your riding, learn mindfulness, and embrace the life of a Cowgirl both in and out of the saddle! What’s included:
5-nights lodging and 14 ranch meals
Hiking trails, archery, wagon ride, yoga, optional massage
Daily sessions focused on self-awareness, wisdom, and knowingness
Hands-on workshops and trail rides with seasoned ranch horses
Time to connect with nature, like-minded women, and your authentic self in a supportive environment.
$2,600 per person, plus a 3.7% state tax and a suggested 15% gratuity
Co-facilitated by Ulla Frederiksen, Anne Altvater, an amazing herd of horses, and the breathtaking land that Sylvan Dale calls home. Let yourself deeply rest in your love of horses and nature in this retreat for women with all levels of horse experience.
We are united by our love of horses and our desire to know them and ourselves more deeply.
Ulla...
...will create and hold space for you to connect and explore your inner essence, gently supporting your individual knowingness with deep kindness, respect and a trauma-informed approach.
In partnership with horses and nature, we invite you to creatively explore new ways to live an intentional and purposeful life. Find out more about Ulla at the link below!

Anne…
“I have a passion to help us all orient to a higher, more coherent frequency that offers a broader perspective, a heart centered lens, and more possibilities of ease and resolution to life’s tangles. Exploring the 'group being' from the perspective of The New Wave of Groups provides a potent environment to explore ourselves so that we can be “awed” at what is here for each of us individually and as our groupness.”
Anne’s entrepreneurial spirit shows up in the founding of Campbell’s Lane Horse Farm, Insight Equine Therapy, and Great Bear Retreat and Airbnb Venue. As a retreat facilitator/host, Anne brings people together to create meaningful connections and safe, unique and transformative opportunities for clients.
Along with a 30 year career training/coaching riders and their horses, Anne’s devotion has been to foster communication and partnership between horse and human, and for the last 4 years donkey experiences have been at the center of the healing and personal development program at the farm. Anne is the co-author of “Evolutionary Groups: a new frontier in human connection”, and facilitates the work with online classes and in person retreats. She is also a graduate of The Barbara Brennan School, with a degree in energy psychology. Anne is immersed daily in the herd-ness of the horses and donkeys that live at Campbells Lane Farm and who offer endless support and love to her longing to orient toward unity.
