WOMEN’S EQUINE WEEKEND RETREAT
Our Women’s Equine Empowerment Workshop just got BIGGER!
We are sooo EXCITED to welcome you to this much needed retreat day...not too far away from home, but far enough away from the chaos that life brings.
THIS DAY is for YOU!
Emerge yourself in nature for a whole day of self-love and letting go!
Friday September 19 - Sunday September 21, 2025
When you connect with horses, others, the camera and yourself…a whole new world will open up for YOU!
CONFIDENCE. ACCEPTANCE. FRIENDSHIPS. HAPPINESS!
HELLO…WE’RE ANNE & EMMA
Anne is a Certified Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator, and has many unique programs to teach.
She loves sharing the magic of horses with others…because they helped her find her confidence.
When Anne is not working with her horses (and her clients), she’s usually riding, learning more, making hand-crafted cards, and cheering on the Oilers.
Emma is a boudoir and branding photographer (and an author) who is passionate about encouraging women to be true to who they are meant to be.
After experiencing boudoir for the first, Emma knew that it was her purpose to pay that confidence-creating experience forward to other women.
She walks the talk and leads by example…constantly looking for adventures that will boost her confidence just a little bit more.
Outside of ‘work’, you can find her cuddling her kitties and bunnies, playing piano, flying round a pole, kick-boxing, journaling, and reading.
EQUINE ASSISTED PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is an experiential learning system that helps people of all ages develop life skills through interactions with horses.
When people experience events instead of just listening or reading, they retain and understand much more information. The horses make it fun, too!
The EAL sessions are done in pairs or groups, with one horse per group. All the exercises are done on the ground and no riding (or experience) is required.
There are several obstacles/stations set up and teams are required to work through each one, together. There is an objective to each session and after the exercise has been completed, we re-group and discuss how everything went and if the objective was satisfied.
It’s a very effective and really fun way to learn and develop skills needed in the workplace, family settings, social settings and many other circumstances.
Equine Assisted Learning can teach the following...and much more!
SELF-CONFIDENCE
SELF-ACCEPTANCE
SOCIAL SKILLS
APPROPRIATE ASSERTIVENESS
TEAM WORK
COMMUNICATION
NEGOTIATION
TRUST
RESPECT
RESPONSIBILITY
OBSERVATION SKILLS
EMPOWERMENT PHOTO SESSION
The definition of boudoir is : capturing the raw and sensual beauty of a woman.
Most people interpret that as having to wear lingerie (or be totally naked) posing with a sexy pout. This concept is extremely daunting and definitely not appealing to some, so I want you to think of boudoir differently from here on out.
Boudoir is about who you are!
The ‘raw’ in this definition is speaking to your raw and realness...as in authentic! You can be fully dressed and wearing a smile...THAT is still boudoir.
Boudoir is not just about capturing your aesthetic beauty...it’s about expressing and capturing your beauty within. A photo shoot with me (Emma) is more than just pretty pictures...it’s an empowering experience. You may get in front of the camera with nerves, but you will leave with so much confidence and a new appreciation for yourself!
Boudoir has so many benefits beyond pretty pictures.
EMPOWERING EXPERIENCE!
DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE!
SEE YOUR BEAUTY...AND TRULY FEEL IT!
HAVE FUN!
GAIN RESPECT...FROM YOURSELF & OTHERS!
GAIN CONFIDENCE!
