Giving Back
A portion of every retreat purchase goes directly to Animales Buena Vibra, a heart centered dog rescue founded by Tanya right here in Tepoztlán. As a guest, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit the sanctuary, connect with the dogs, and experience the spirit of service that’s part of everything we do.

Why Horses?
Horses live in the present moment. They mirror what’s true, not what we perform. In their presence, you’ll learn to quiet the noise, feel what’s real, and gently access the parts of yourself that are ready to heal or lead. With no riding involved, these powerful ground based sessions are rooted in respect, relationship, and embodied wisdom.
