Testimonials

  • "I thought that the program I can see being developed by Natalie has a lot of really useful/healing/positive qualities. The healthy food, the loving community space (woman, music, etc) did my body/mind/heart good. I would ABSOLUTELY do this again."

    ~Audrey Cropp

  • “The idea of being able to create safe space for each other as women is so empowering! Holding vulnerable and open conversations about ways the systems of the world has impacted not only each one of us individually but as a whole felt very healing! The program was completely inspiring and reminded me to allow myself to have desires and to embrace them! I honor what Natalie is doing and it feels so good to be apart of this radical movement!"

  • I am so glad I joined the Emerge experience! Natalie created space for us to be brave, to share and have conversations that would otherwise be really hard to initiate. The questions we explored have given me so much to think about. The group was open to my perspective as a lesbian and I appreciated the chance to learn from such interesting women.

    EMERGE participant

  • "This retreat was a profoundly beautiful weekend with wild mustangs and wild women. I came away feeling more alive and awake than I had in years! Each element of the experience was nurturing, connecting and inspiring. Through gentle movement and somatic exercises, precious time with the herd, and nightly gathering around the fire, we flowed into deep and meaningful waters. The retreat reminded me of the magic in life, and in myself. It’s been over a year since our little group of strangers gathered at Freedom Reigns and yet I still feel a deep sense of belonging to this earth, to myself and with others. "

  • “I had the most awe-inspiring experience at the Living in Awe retreat at Freedom Reigns. Feeling the immense power of the herd, connecting with nature, and experiencing transformation through movement and breath was truly life-changing. It’s a journey I’ll carry with me always. Grateful for the women who joined me, the profound moments, and the majestic energy of the horses.”

    Moved by Wonder, Living in Awe retreat participant

  • “In our retreat, I experienced a profound sense of belonging and connection to the horses and to the other women in the group. We were nourished in every way from the meals, to the fire circles and the somatic exercises. Not very many women know the feeling of being lovingly cared for entirely for even a day I left with a joy I had all but lost. And I have drawn from the power and solidarity of this transformative weekend every day since.”

  • "I was fortunate enough to attend Natalie's Freedom in Belonging retreat at the Freedom Reigns Equine Sanctuary. She provided a safe, welcoming haven so that all of the participants felt free to express themselves and learn from Natalie as well as each other. We were spoiled by our hosts with amazing accommodations, healthy food, and the magic of the herds. My greatest take aways were from the other women themselves. I so appreciate Natalie's expertise in facilitating such a powerful experience for women. I am still reaping the rewards of the retreat."
