Golden Hour Hour Experience
Thursday evenings 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
March 20th April 17th, 2025
Cost: $95 per session
This is a gathering experience for women where sacred space is held to be with each other and horses. Women are so wired for connection and much of their connection is reaching out to connect to others. This space is held for you to connect with you, with horses and other like minded women for support, rejuvenation and care. Come join us in a container where you can be surrounded in nature and animals to experience what presence to your own life can bring.
This is a “drop in group”- meaning you can register for all 5 sessions or simply by the week. We ask that you register and pay in advance so we know how many to expect. This experience is limited to 6 participants. Group facilitation will be loosely structured to allow the horses to guide the process. No prior knowledge of horses required. And week of April 10th will be shared with a full moon!
Sensing the Divine: Communing with God and Creation
First United Methodist Church of Santa Monica Women’s Retreat -*** EVENT COMPLETE—SEE YOUTUBE LINK BELOW TO HEAR ALL ABOUT IT!***
November 8-10 (Friday dinner-Sunday lunch)
Cost: TBD
Can you imagine walking into the holiday season grounded and open and connected to all the season can bring….? The sensation of holiday smells, the beauty of favorite music, the special joy of holiday connection? We invite you to join us during this Fall retreat to offer space to disconnect with our busy lives in order to reconnect with ourselves and God thru connecting with creation, nature, horses and each other in a SENSING way! There is so much information our body takes in over a day…..stimulation, sounds, information, emotion. It can all be too much to process and often leaves very little room to hear God and the Divine voice we yearn to know.
This retreat is focused around slowing down and offering embodied experiences to help reconnect to you and all that is God dwelling in you. Part of the experience will be with horses- animals who live a very embodied life and ask us to do the same when we are in the presence. Additionally, we will spend time in nature where seasons, change invite us back to a slower understanding of what is important.
Questions: reach out to K.olsenpaget@santamonicaumc.org

Collaborate and Customize Your Own Retreat or Corporate Team Building Event
Horses are herd animals that have to develop relationships and hierarchy to function and live together. The horse herd are great guides around leadership and communication skills. And they are so fun to learn with. We get so much feedback that participants are able to take in the “lessons” of the horses because of the horses “engaging teaching style” and because the learning often engages our bodies and minds.
These events are great for corporate teams, groups who work together across disciplines, church groups, groups that have gone thru a work crises or loss together– any group where the desire is to build more understanding and cohesion for better outcomes.
We are able to customize the experience to your specific needs.
