The Whole Equestrian is known for aiming to bridge the gap between riding and wellness. Lake Girl Retreats offer a transformative experience for women fostering healing, connection, and empowerment all through the lens of mental, emotional, and physical wellness. It seems only natural that Dr. Tyler Held, EdD CMPC of The Whole Equestrian, and Stephanie Everett, M.Ed CHC of Total Evolution Health & Transition would collaborate on an epic journey for equestrians of all levels and disciplines. On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Lake Girls of the past, present, and future to talk about wellness and what a retreat is all about.
With a limited number of participants, these all-inclusive retreats ensure an intimate atmosphere where women can embrace where they've come from to honoring where they are at, all while setting goals and working towards where they want to be. The work done at these retreats showcase women supporting women while arriving at a higher level individually, truly nothing short of magical.
This retreat includes:
+ Accommodations in a lovely lake house on Deep Creek Lake, MD
+ Over 18 hours total of wellness counseling & mental performance consulting
+ Delicious and nutritious food & drink! *cheers*
+ Luxury goodies and one-of-a-kind swag
+ Movement & adventure
+ Deep relaxation
+ Fire pit, hot tub, lake toys and more!
