A Journey into Heart-Centered Healing
Discover the profound healing power that emerges when human and horse hearts synchronize through a mutual heart-centered exchange of energy and intention. This 7-day "Heart Frequency Healing with Horses" retreat offers a unique opportunity to both give and receive healing energy in partnership with these magnificent beings.
Reconnect with Your Heart's Wisdom
In today's fast-paced world, we often disconnect from our heart's innate wisdom. Horses—with their expansive heart electromagnetic fields and intuitive presence—create a space where deep healing can occur naturally. During this retreat, you'll learn to attune to your own heart frequency and develop the ability to both offer and receive healing energy with horses as your teachers and guides.
Your Transformational Journey
For 7 days, you'll be immersed in an environment designed to facilitate profound healing and connection. Each day builds upon the previous, creating a seamless journey toward heart coherence and energetic alignment.
Opening to Presence
Begin your journey with gentle introduction practices designed to quiet the mind and open the heart. You'll meet the horses in a guided encounter that allows you to experience their extraordinary sensitivity and presence. Through heart-opening exercises, you'll begin to feel the subtle energy field that surrounds these majestic beings.
Developing Heart Coherence
Learn powerful techniques to regulate your nervous system and achieve heart coherence—a measurable state where your heart rhythms become more ordered, creating harmony between your emotional, mental, and physical systems. Experience how horses respond differently when you enter this state, mirroring your internal shift with their behavior and energetic response.
The Reciprocal Healing Exchange
Explore the reciprocal nature of energy healing with horses. You will have many opportunities to receive healing energy from the horses, addressing specific personal emotional or physical challenges you may be facing. Then, you'll learn how to offer and direct healing energy back to the horses, developing skills that can be transferred to other animals in your life. Participants often report profound shifts, emotional releases, or gain clarity and insights during these sessions.
Deepening the Healing Practice
Learn how to "read" an animal’s energy, identify areas of imbalance, and offer targeted healing. You'll practice hands-on techniques that can be directly applied to horses, dogs, cats, and other animals, creating a powerful toolbox of healing modalities to take home with you.
Integration and Embodiment
Learn how to integrate these reciprocal healing practices into your daily life and with your own animals. Through personalized guidance, you'll create a sustainable plan for maintaining heart coherence and energy awareness long after the retreat ends.

Away from the sights and sounds of busy human life, Tula Vida has created an oasis for both humans and horses. Every time you step onto the land, you feel the power of the natural world to soothe, nourish and restore.
Tula Vida Ranch is surrounded by 3 volcanos, an expansive sunset view and pristine rainforest, with rivers, springs and ponds - the horses roam freely in this stunning environment where you will find you can breathe more deeply and re-discover your flow.
Nourishment
Meals are home-cooked with love, using fresh local ingredients. The water comes from Tula Vida's own abundant natural springs and air fresh from the trees to breathe - everything is designed to be in harmony with the surroundings and support your mind, body and spirit to rest, re-energize and renew.
Environment and Herd
Tula Vida is 100% off-the-grid with their own solar power and fresh spring water living in harmony with nature while remaining a safe, comfortable human retreat. They even have good internet!
The Tula Vida Team has planted 1000s of trees and plants already, including a food forest and a nursery for endangered trees, to encourage the forest to regenerate and give wildlife corridors to pass through the neighboring national parks. It is a true sanctuary for all visitors, which includes shy tapirs, rare bell-birds and plenty of toucans, sloths and monkeys.
The stunning 72 acre property - with trails, rivers, waterfalls, valleys, primary rainforest and abundant wildlife - is truly accessible to nature.
Tula Vida Foundation is a 501c charity registered in the US with a mission to rescue horses in Costa Rica and sponsor people to come for transformational horse experiences and retreats.
A visit to us supports not just yourself but also the natural environment, the rescue horses, the local community who work with us and people without the means to have these kind of experiences.
This transformational experience focuses entirely on heart-based connection with the horses—no horseback riding will take place. This heart-centered approach creates opportunities for deep self-discovery, spiritual development, and healing that most traditional equestrian riding activities don't access.
No prior experience with horses or energy healing is required—only an open heart and willingness to explore what is possible with horses as our healers, teachers, and guides.
