Couples Retreat at The Equus Effect
Join us for a free weekend retreat & unique couples experience that is a sampler of all that Guardian Revival and The Equus Effect have to offer!
Couples will enjoy equine experiences, yoga, “talk-story” time around the campfire, a ukulele experience, and end the weekend with a hike, all in scenic Sharon, CT. Complimentary lodging is provided for you at the Sharon Country Inn — and all meals are also included. Don’t miss this unique opportunity!
Discover the power of experiential learning — with horses. In partnership with The Equus Effect (TEE), we are offering an introductory equine experience designed to show you how horses can help build self-awareness, manage emotions, and develop healthier relationships.
FINESSE VS. FORCE | RESPONSE VS. REACTION | CAPACITY VS. CONTROL
Horses are naturally sensitive to human emotions and intentions, making them incredible partners in this journey. The Equus Effect uses ground-based horsemanship skills, guiding participants through a hands-on experience to develop non-verbal communication skills, emotional agility, and tools to stay grounded in high-stress situations. Come meet the team at the Equus Effect and learn more about this powerful program and how horses help us heal.
