Whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional release, spiritual growth, or simply a moment of peace, this journey will support you every step of the way, helping you reconnect with your true essence. Through each practice, you’ll open yourself up to new levels of healing and growth, enabling you to embody your highest potential.
What to Expect
Horse Therapy: Absolutely no experience with horses is required to participate in this session. Horses have an extraordinary ability to mirror our emotions and reflect the energy we bring into a space. Guided by Apryl Nicole, this session provides a safe and supportive environment for anyone to connect with these intuitive beings. Apryl’s expertise in equestrian therapy makes this a unique and accessible opportunity to experience the transformative power of working with horses.
As you engage with the horses, you’ll explore how their sensitivity to nonverbal communication offers profound insights into your emotional and energetic states. Their grounded and non-judgmental presence encourages self-awareness, helping you to recognize and release tension, anxiety, or unprocessed emotions stored within your body.
Through Apryl’s gentle guidance, you’ll not only develop a deeper connection with the horses but also gain tools to navigate your own emotional landscape. These interactions will help you cultivate trust, find clarity, and foster a renewed sense of inner peace and balance, allowing you to carry the wisdom of this connection into your daily life.
Nervous System Regulation, Polyvagal Theory & Horse Connection: Understanding how your nervous system responds to stress and trauma is essential for emotional well-being, physical health, and meaningful connection. Polyvagal theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, provides valuable insights into how the autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates safety and threat responses. This session combines this understanding with experiential work alongside horses, allowing you to engage in co-regulation—an exchange of calming energy between you and the horse.
Horses, highly attuned to their environment, mirror the emotional and energetic states of those around them. Through mindful interaction, you’ll learn how to recognize and shift your own nervous system states, experiencing firsthand how trust and safety are communicated on a nonverbal level.
The session also introduces practical tools for nervous system regulation, including breathwork, posture, and the phonetics of polyvagal theory—exploring how sound, vibration, and vocal tones stimulate the vagus nerve to calm stress responses. By blending education and hands-on experience, this session will empower you to cultivate resilience, balance, and a deeper connection with yourself and the natural world.
Sound Healing: This immersive session, guided by Jai, offers a journey into the transformative power of sound as a tool for healing and inner balance. Drawing on years of experience in sound therapy, Jai creates a nurturing space where the vibrational frequencies of instruments and voice work to harmonize your body, mind, and spirit.
Through the use of crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, and other sacred instruments, Jai will guide you into a state of deep relaxation and connection. These frequencies resonate with your body’s natural rhythms, promoting the release of stored tension and emotional blockages. As you surrender to the sound, your nervous system shifts from a state of fight-or-flight into the parasympathetic mode, facilitating healing, restoration, and emotional regulation.
Jai’s intuitive approach allows each participant to experience sound in a personal and meaningful way, supporting your unique healing process. Whether you are seeking clarity, peace, or an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you, this sound healing session offers a pathway to alignment, self-discovery, and profound inner harmony.
Intentional Body Movement: This session, guided by Jai, focuses on the transformative practice of intentional body movement to help you reconnect with your physical self and release stored energy. With Jai’s expertise in somatic practices and intuitive movement, this experience invites you to explore the relationship between your body, mind, and emotions in a safe and supportive space.
Through guided movements designed to flow with your natural rhythms, Jai will help you identify and release tension, stress, and stagnant energy that may be held in your body. This intentional practice supports nervous system regulation, enhances body awareness, and encourages the free flow of energy, creating space for emotional release and a renewed sense of balance.
Jai’s approach combines mindfulness, breathwork, and movement techniques tailored to meet your unique needs, offering a path to reconnect with your inner vitality. Whether you are carrying emotional weight, physical tension, or simply seeking to deepen your connection to your body, this session empowers you to move with intention and align with your authentic self.
Shamanic Healing Circle: The Shamanic Healing Circle is a sacred and primal practice that allows for a visceral release of energy and emotions stored somatically, energetically, and spiritually. This session will be guided by Apryl Nicole, Jai, and the wisdom of your ancestors, creating a powerful space for healing, transformation, and connection to the sacred realms of spirit.
Through shamanic practices such as drumming, guided journeys, and intentional ritual, Apryl and Jai will guide you into a deeper state of awareness where you can access the support of your spirit guides, loved ones in spirit, and ancestral wisdom. This shared sacred space facilitates the release of old wounds, energetic blockages, and emotional patterns, allowing you to reconnect with your essence and realign with your life’s purpose.
The circle will provide a safe container for you to experience somatic release—a physical and emotional unwinding of stored tension and trauma. You may feel sensations of energy shifting, memories surfacing, or the weight of unprocessed emotions lifting as you let go of what no longer serves you.
With the loving guidance of Apryl, Jai, and your ancestors, you will be supported through this journey of renewal and empowerment. The experience will leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply connected to yourself, your lineage, and the healing wisdom of the natural and spiritual worlds.
Closing Tea Ceremony: The workshop concludes with a serene and grounding tea ceremony, thoughtfully guided by Jai and Apryl. This sacred ritual marks the end of our day together, offering a moment of stillness and reflection to integrate the profound insights and healing experiences gained throughout the day.
As you sip on carefully selected herbs, lovingly grown and harvested from the magical farm where we are hosting this retreat by our gifted gardener, Jessica Hyde with Kauai Aloha Farms, you’ll be invited to connect deeply with yourself and the group. This ceremony serves as a time to honor the personal and collective transformations that have taken place, bringing a sense of completion to the day’s journey.
Apryl and Jai will gently lead you through this calming practice, encouraging mindfulness and presence in the moment. The tea ceremony creates a space to set intentions, express gratitude, and reflect on the healing that has unfolded. As we share this final ritual together, we leave in gratitude, carrying the resonance of our experiences with us and holding space for one another as we step back into our daily lives. The ceremony symbolizes closure, balance, and the embodiment of the wholeness we’ve cultivated together.
