Starr Horse Retreats

Starr Horse Retreats www.starrhorseretreats.com After living 30 years in San Francisco, my husband and I moved to Minden, Nevada to buy this 30-acre equestrian facility.

Starr Horse Retreats is a sacred sanctuary where horse lovers and starseeds from all walks of life come together to awaken their divine purpose, rediscover their soul family, and embrace their gifts with bitless partnership. We spent the past 2 1/2 years restoring the center and guest houses to roll out the Shamanic Horse Healing Retreats. With a degree in health education from San Francisco State University, and after traveling extensively, I began hosting annual consciousness gatherings called Gaia Gathering. I have hosted many plant medicine circles, and am so excited to launch our Horse Healing Retreats monthly to share the shamanic medicine of the horses.

Happy Halloween! As the ancestors draw near and the old year falls away, the horses remind us that healing is not found in the shadows we fear, but in the light we are willing to embody.

Land Blessing in Sonoma

Across the country, farms will release bits, spurs, cross ties, and branding irons, allowing horses to return to open land and their natural purpose as teachers. Adopting wild mustangs or rehoming unwanted domestic horses will become a sacred act of restoration, inviting these beings to reclaim their freedom and fulfill their role in the great healing of humanity.

This day we gathered on sacred Sonoma soil to bless the land and listen to its heartbeat. The horses were present in spirit, guiding the vision for the Pegasus Constellation, a growing network of sanctuaries where humans and horses will heal together in partnership and freedom.

Each sanctuary that honors horses as healers becomes a living star within this constellation. From Tahoe to Sonoma, and eventually across the world, these centers will form a luminous web of stewardship, education, and remembrance.

If you feel called to activate your land as part of this movement, please reach out at starrhorseretreats@gmail.com

The Horses Are Returning as Healers

Horse healing centers are on the rise. Across the country, farmers are converting barns into places where people work with horses for trauma recovery, emotional awareness, and nervous system health.

Horses bring the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems into coherence. They offer a mirror for people to find the answers within themselves, often more directly than talk therapy. Even from several meters away, a horse can lower a person’s heart rate.

All horses can do this, but those living freely in herds and on pasture offer it most clearly. Farms are turning horses out of cages and back to open land. Barns are removing cross ties, bits, spurs, branding irons, and other relics of a harsh past.

We are making the change one barn at a time, one farm at a time. It is happening.

Starr Horse Retreats is part of it.

Edgar Cayce, a prophet of the 1930s whose many predictions proved true, spoke of a time when horses would return as healers of humankind

There is a prophecy by Edgar Cayce about horses that the world has ignored for nearly a century. He said a time would come when humanity, lost in its machine...

This video marks the completion of our four-week Beyond the Saddle Holistic Clicker Training Program at Starr Horse Retreats.
Each student presented their final project with their horse partner, demonstrating what they have created together.
They also shared letters from the herd, reflecting the connection that has grown through presence, practice, and shared experience.

This closing day brought the program full circle, honoring the horses, the participants, and the journey of mutual learning.

Galaxy, a former racehorse, played the drum during week 4 of our Beyond the Saddle Holistic Clicker Training Program at Starr Horse Retreats.
Valentine practiced the barrels for her partner’s final project, and we closed the day with a trail ride in the back ten acres eith Feather, who has never had a bit un her mouth.

Week four was riding week of our Beyond the Saddle Holistic Clicker Training Program, and Monday, October 6, was a day of firsts here at Starr Horse Retreats.

Solar, born at Starr Horse Retreats three years ago, went on his first trail ride with a rider on his back.

It was also the first time I rode River over the tire through the obstacle course. He placed all four feet on the large tractor tire and jumped off with me on his back. Galaxy did too! All four feet were on the tire with rider.
We are always bit less at Starr Horse Retreats.
We are a bitless center.
