Unbridled | Re-wilding Feminine Agency

A guided, experiential retreat designed to help you reconnect with your voice, instincts, and sense of self.

Friday, October 30 - Sunday, November 1st, 2026

“Our birthright is to be free—unbridled, unbroken. So our first step into freedom is to rewild ourselves. When we shed the ties of limiting narratives, we discover the freedom to––the freedom to be creative, the freedom to make a difference, the freedom to go after what you truly want. Our life no longer seems like a series of burdens, but a cornucopia of possibilities.”

— Kelly Wendorf, FLYING LEAD CHANGE: 56 Million Years of Wisdom for Leading and Living

Join author, EQUUS founder and CEO, Kelly Wendorf for a journey into self discovery.

This retreat is for women who feel capable on the outside but know something is off underneath.

You may feel disconnected from your voice.
Overextended in your roles.
Clear for others but not for yourself.

Unbridled is a structured, guided experience designed to help you:

  • Reconnect with your instincts

  • Identify what is no longer working

  • Make more honest decisions moving forward

You will work with nature, horses, and a small group of women to build awareness, clarity, and trust in yourself.


This retreat is hands-on, experiential, and designed for real change.

Who this retreat is for.

This retreat is for women who:

  • Feel successful but not fully aligned

  • Are navigating change, transition, or burnout

  • Want to stop overthinking and start trusting themselves

  • Are ready to make clearer, more honest decisions

You do not need prior experience with retreats, personal development, or horses.

You will leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of what you want and what you do not

  • The ability to trust your own decisions more confidently

  • Awareness of patterns that are keeping you stuck or overextended

  • Stronger boundaries and clearer communication

  • A more grounded, steady relationship with yourself

  • Practical shifts you can apply immediately in your life and work

This is not a temporary reset.
It is designed to create lasting change in how you think, choose, and lead.

How the Experience Works:

Over three days, you will move through a mix of:

  • Guided group sessions

  • Select, focused time with the horses (ground-based, no riding)

  • Time in nature

  • Reflection and integration

The experience is intentionally designed to take you deeper over time.
At certain points, the work may feel challenging. That is part of the process.

You will be guided through it and supported throughout.

You will not be asked to perform or share more than you are ready for.
You can engage at your own pace.

What makes this retreat special:

  • Small group capped at 12 participants

  • Experiential learning instead of lectures or passive listening

  • Direct, real-time feedback through guided exercises

  • Grounded and practical approach

  • Structured support

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Through The EQUUS Experience®, you will work with horses as part of the learning process.

    Horses respond to behavior and energy in real time.
    They do not respond to titles, explanations, or intentions.

    This creates immediate, honest feedback on:

    • Boundaries

    • Communication

    • Presence

    • Self-trust

    Instead of talking about your patterns, you will see them clearly and have the opportunity to shift them in the moment.
