WOMEN WHO DREAM WITH HORSES

Step into the Wild. Dream with Horses.

Reclaim Your Authentic Self through Transformational Retreats.

A year-long immersive retreat for women seeking transformation, connection, and healing, guided by the rhythms of nature, equine-assisted wisdom, and the power of Women’s Mysteries.

What is Women Who Dream with Horses?

More than a Retreat or two for women—it’s an invitation to reconnect with your authentic self through equine-assisted therapy, the wisdom of nature, and transformative ancient practices. Over the course of a year, you’ll weave together transformational on-land retreats, online gatherings, and personal practices designed to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.

Whether you are longing for self-discovery, yearning to deepen your connection with horses, or seeking a supportive sistarhood, this journey will meet you exactly where you are.

Women Who Dream with Horses includes on-land Retreats and online Circles with Hollie Wildëthorn over the course of a year.

an immersive Program for women who desire to deepen into the work of Self Crafting.

Why horses?

Horses embody freedom, wisdom, and truth. Through equine-facilitated learning, they reflect our truest selves—mirroring both our strengths and vulnerabilities. Their grounding presence teaches us how to trust our instincts, stay present, and embrace our authenticity.

Through Women Who Dream with Horses, you’ll step into their world—learning from these majestic beings through equine-assisted therapy, as they guide you to greater clarity, self-awareness, and connection to nature.

Some people will be fuelled by excitement and awe, others will feel fear and discomfort.

“These Circles are such a nice way to connect with other women, relax and self-explore. I never find them intimidating - from the very first circle I felt calm and safe (and I usually feel some anxiety around this stuff). Hollie is a compassionate therapist and facilitator. I have gotten more, emotionally, from her and these circles than other one-on-one therapy!” ~ Amber, QLD

“Retreat was a reawakening of someone/something always there. On the other side of being transformed, life is different - there in the clear cold clarity - like your creek, a life force washed open... just so immensley thankful for this feeling. A small part of me stayed there at the Wilde, and will always be there... strong and emotive, all the feelings and thoughts full of positive-ness, connected... so many weavings and gifts you give Hollie... thank you ever so much. Thank you for giving and holding space for me to learn in, within and from. 💜”
— Erin, after Spring Retreat, 2023

Got Questions?

What if I don’t know anything about horses?

You’re not required to know anything about Horses, or have a special connection with the graceful giants to attend.

For most of us, horses are in our lineage; your ancestors lived in an era when horses were an integral part of life.

For this time right now, with or without an ancestral rememberance; horses invite us to interelate on land and in nature with full embodiment.

What if I’m allergic?

People who know they are sensitive to horse hair are welcome to join the program. We can accomodate you (for example participating in equine activities without touching the horse) provided you agree to attend with your own anti-histamine medication.

If you’re anaphylactic, we will need to talk more. Email Hollie for more discussion.

Payment Plans?

Payment Plans are available over 6 months. A deposit of 20% is required upfront, with monthly payments thereafter. Email Hollie for more info.

Insurance / NDIS?

Select private health funds and NDIS self managed plans will cover the course as Individual or Group Counselling / Therapy. Speak to your plan manager about options.

Selecting Retreats

Once you’ve booked HERE, we will send you coupons to book in your selection of Retreats and Circles. Optional Extras like catering or early arrivals can be added at this time.

Can anyone Join this Program? 

This Program is for people who identify as women (including teens). The Program / Retreats / Circles are not for young girls. Babes in arms are always welcome.

I get overwhelmed in big groups. How many people are likely to be there?

Retreats and Circles have space for up to 20 people, but we usually sit more around 5-12. Smallish groups are important for this model of trauma-informed group work. If we end up with a high number of women interested, we will put on a second group, rather than increase the size.

The cost is prohibitive to me. Is there another way to come without paying money? 

Hollie offers Scholarships and Volunteer places. If these options would benefit you, please mention your situation in your initial interview.
