Elements of Serenity: Women's Ranch Retreat
All About the Elements of Serenity Ranch Retreat
You arrive at a hidden horse ranch, where ancient oaks stretch overhead and sunlight flickers through the moss. The air feels different here — calmer, softer — as though time itself slows the moment you step onto the land. Your weekend of serenity has begun.
A lantern-lit teepee awaits you, outfitted with a real bed, fresh linens, and twinkly lights that glow softly as evening falls. This isn’t camping — it’s cozy, intentional glamping that lets you rest in comfort while still feeling the magic of sleeping under the stars.
That first night, you gather with the group around a crackling bonfire. The flames dance as you’re guided through a release ceremony — letting go of the heaviness you’ve been carrying. Laughter mingles with sparks rising into the night sky, and a sense of ease settles over you. You already feel lighter.
The next morning, you wake to the sound of horses in the pasture and the smell of fresh country air. After yoga beneath the oaks, you share a nourishing breakfast before heading out on the day’s adventure: stand-up paddleboarding at Emerald Cut.
The water here is crystalline — so clear you can see the sandy bottom — and no deeper than your waist. You push off, nervous at first, but quickly find your balance. Some kneel, some stand, some laugh when they wobble — but all feel the exhilaration of trying something new. By the time you climb back onto shore, you feel proud, accomplished, and more alive than you have in a long time.
Back at the ranch, the adventure continues with horseback riding. For some, this is a first step onto the saddle — a mixture of excitement and fear. But as you ride across the open pastures, the rhythm of the horse beneath you, courage replaces hesitation. It’s not just about the ride — it’s about proving to yourself that you can do hard things.
As the sun lowers, you gather again for breathwork and sound healing, the vibrations of crystal bowls and chimes floating on the evening air. Dinner is shared family-style, followed by stargazing, reflection, and plenty of laughter. And then, of course, the retreat tradition — the No-Talent Talent Show — where everyone lets their inner child shine.
On the final morning, you rise slowly, walking mindfully through the ranch one last time. In the closing women’s circle, you speak your truth, share your breakthroughs, and feel the bond of sisterhood that formed over just a few short days. There are tears, there is laughter, and there is a deep sense of pride.
You leave with more than memories. You leave with confidence from stepping outside your comfort zone, clarity from releasing what no longer serves you, and connection — to nature, to the elements, and to a circle of women who now feel like family.
THIS is what it means to experience the Elements of Serenity.

This retreat also offers horseback riding that is perfect for beginners! Small groups are taken led by a trusted guide through onsite trails with training horses that are gentle enough for children to ride. Like all of our retreat activities, this is completely optional.

All your meals, snacks, water, and coffee are fully included in the cost of your retreat. Our hosts take great pride in preparing delicious, hearty meals right on-site and are more than willing to cater to any specific dietary requirements you have—just let us know in advance. And of course, we wouldn’t dream of forgetting the s’mores for dessert!
What Makes This Retreat Special?
What makes this retreat special is its blend of rejuvenating activities set in nature's embrace. Start each day with an energizing yoga session, then form a unique bond during our intuitive horse connection experience. After a nutritious breakfast, head to Emeralds Cut for stand-up paddle boarding in pristine clear waters. Once back at the ranch, it's time to saddle-up for a horseback ride through old Florida with a real cowboy guide! Each evening, unwind around a campfire and under a starlit sky, ensuring a serene conclusion to your day. This retreat isn't just an escape from the everyday—it's a holistic journey designed to refresh your body, mind, and soul.
The retreat is for women of all ages with a sense of adventure! You will be offered yoga classes, silent hikes, Yoga Nidra, horseback riding, stand-up paddle boarding and forest bathing. You have the luxury of unplugging from the hustle of your everyday life and immersing yourself in nature. If you're lucky, let an afternoon shower rinse off any tension that you're holding as you re-learn to dance in the rain! Every part of your retreat will be outdoors unless you take reprieve on your comfy bed inside your teepee.
