Kindred Spirits

WELLNESS ACADEMY & FARM

Relax and recalibrate in our permaculture horse farm, nestled in the Caribbean jungle of Costa Rica. Here we’ve developed a way of life centered around the great study of Yoga, the wisdom of horses, observation of nature and female energy. Our programs are based on years of collective experience, studies and observations by women who’ve come together as kindred spirits.

Our tranquil space offers a serene sanctuary far from the noise of everyday life. Picture yourself amidst rolling hills and pristine jungle, surrounded by the gentle presence of majestic horses. This idyllic setting serves as the perfect backdrop for your soul's awakening.


The Retreat

Asanas, yoga poses, help you to develop physical strength and body awareness, while pranayama (breathing techniques), help you to focus, concentrate and become still in your mind, opening the space for deeper understanding and intuition.

In a state of balance and harmony, develop a deeper connection with horses. Feel the wild free spirit of the horse, allow yourself to let go and be in union with the life force energies that surround you. 

Connect to horses, to nature, to your True Authentic Self and Be that being your are meant to be, that one that is always there within you. Your true nature is Bliss, horses guide will guide you and help you rediscover your natural state of Blissfulness.

Sharing Sacred Space with the Herd

Entering the world of horses and being accepted as part of the herd. The practice of Pranayama and meditation lowers your energy, raises your vibration and calms the mind where you will Share Sacred Space with the horses and learn the Ritual of Namaste, greeting the horses in a language they understand and use amongst themselves. This will bring you into a deeper connection with horses and an understanding of yourself and life around you.

Listening to your body, mind and heart, acknowledging how you truly feel in the moment. So often we are so busy, our minds filled with to-do lists, that we forget to feel, truly feel who we are and how we are. 

Connect to your physical body and your mind through a sequence of Praanayama techniques to calm your thoughts, connect with your body and harmonize your energy.

Drift into the inner world of You through a Guided Meditation, that will raise your vibration and bring you into a harmonious state of being, where the horse awaits you, to take you on a journey deeper into yourself.

Creating the Connection with Horse

Through time spent Sharing Sacred Space with the horses at liberty and observation through Mindfulness meditations, you will begin to interact with the horses in their language. Walking through each of their rituals of saying hello, connecting, following each other , moving each other around. Creating connection and relationships through unconditional love, no judgment, no expectations, no to do lists. Learning to be who we are meant to be, is enough. It is enough for the horses. They are our teachers and natural healers. You will meet and greet each horse, connecting to their energy and the gifts they have to share with us.

Mindfulness Meditation Walk with the Her

Walk under the canopy of the giant tropical trees, in the jungle surrounded by the chatter of parrots, howling of monkeys and the song of the Toucans. In a Mindfulness state connecting with horses, nature and yourself, as you contemplate the wonders and magic of nature and the free spirit of the horse. This will help you to be more focused, more present in your daily life, mindful of what is around you. This aids with stress, anxiety and fear issues.

Chakra Healing with Horses

Pranayama, mantra and meditation techniques to clear and balance our Chakras. Our Chakras are subtle energy wheels and they interact with Universal energy and with our physical body. They can be put out of balance or blocked through grief, anger, frustration, negative thoughts to others , to ourselves, from the environment we live in, from what others say to us or about us. In this Energy Healing with horses, the horses participate with us, often it is they that come to us to heal and help us and sometimes they come to us for healing, it is a mutually benefit for both human and horse.

Mantras and Singing Bowls

Explore the Power of Sound for Healing and Transforming 

Sound Healing is rooted in the theory that the entire universe is made of vibrations. Every structure in the Universe, from the cells in our bodies to the planets and stars ad galaxies is composed of energy and that energy is expressed in various patterns of vibration.

Our bodies can be pulled off center from their natural states of harmony, as our energies rise through stress and trauma, our vibrations lower causing misalignments in our energy bodies and physical bodies. If you feel out of balance or even out of control, chances are you need to center and realign. Horses are in a natural state of harmony, they seek harmony and when thrown out of alignment will come back to center with ease. As humans we have lost this, getting stuck in the Sympathetic nervous system of flight or fight, causing stress, anxiety, fear and lack of control.

Yoga in Harmony with Horses

In a state of balance and harmony, develop a deeper connection with horses. Feel the wild free spirit of the horse, allow yourself to let go and be in union with the life force energies that surround you. Connect to horse, to nature, to your True Authentic Self and Be that being your are meant to be, that one that is always there within you. Your true nature is Bliss, horses guide will guide you and help you rediscover your natural state of Blissfulness.


Attune to your life purpose, your Dharma. 

Connect to your Roots and the power of your Spirit.

Hi there, I'm Terry Newton. Founder of Kindred Spirits. I created Kindred Spirits out of an unshakable love for horses and a passion for learning and sharing knowledge with all the souls that cross my path. Kindred Spirits itself isn’t so much a place, as it is a collection of moments and ideas shared with all the wonderful people that find their way to us. We're here to give you the tools, knowledge, and space you need to let go of what's holding you back, make positive changes, and live your life to the fullest.

I did my 200h YTT with Kindred Spirits this past July, and I absolutely loved my journey. This place is just magical and take this as your sign to go! Terry, Enrica, and Adrianna do an amazing job, I highly recommend for anyone looking to do their YTT. Breathtaking views of the jungle every morning, and three delicious vegan meals everyday from private chef. -Love you all so much, can't wait to be back one day.
