3-Day Coach Retreat
“This is a supervision retreat like no other. Not only do you have three world-class human coaches guiding it, you have a herd of wise teachers that will deeply recalibrate and reset your coaching presence like no other human can. Highly recommended if you want to be less ‘in your head’ and more in your center of gravity as a coach.”
— LUCIANA NUNEZ, Executive Coach
Join us March 7-9, 2025, for a life-and-career-altering experience.
Reflect and find professional nourishment with a group of other like-minded professionals held within the container of coach supervision.
Join us on the EQUUS Campus in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for an immersive experience that will deepen your work as a coach. You’ll walk away with a fresh awareness of how you show up for yourself and others, how to move through life and work with greater self trust, and a group you can rely on.
To be a more effective coach is to know yourself and what you bring to situations, as well as how to be in service to what is larger than you and what is unsaid and emergent in any space, be it 1-1 or in facilitation. In your work, you are holding the space for transformation for the client or group you are facilitating. This requires you to be attuned to you, your verbal and non-verbal communications, your relationships, your environment, and what’s emerging in the space between. Which, at its core, requires you to continue the work of knowing yourself and how you show up in the world. Horses have these lessons for us in spades. Entering into the field with horses can teach us about ourselves and how we show up in all these realms.

“"As a coach, I must create space for my clients to show up wholly, and I can not do so unless I am willing to do so myself. Therefore, the Reboot Coach Supervision retreat was a transformative experience for me. It helped me step back, discuss with fellow coaches about what is important for me, and realize how I am showing myself up and what I am hiding. It encouraged me to show my authentic self to upgrade my coaching practice and quality of life. And did I say all this is guided by professional supervisors and coaches and supported by a fantastic herd of five horses and two donkeys on a beautiful ranch in Santa Fe? To upgrade your coaching practice, here's where you can separate the chaff from the wheat.”

Why horses?
In this arena, the horses hold the lessons for whatever questions you bring with you regardless of what you’re working on. The results are often breakthroughs that arrive more quickly with a deeper, felt sense of impact from these experiences than could have been discovered through conversations or problem-solving techniques.
Equine Facilitated Coaching creates a container for learning that provides immediate insights and interpersonal reflection about your relationship with self, others, and life with horses as your guides, partners, and mirrors. No prior horse experience is necessary and no riding is involved.
In this arena, the horses hold the lessons for whatever questions you bring with you regardless of what you’re working on. Explore radical self-inquiry, deep listening, self-mastery, collaborative leadership, partnership, and non-predatory uses of power. Grounded in evidence-based research into the neurobiological approach to learning, working with horses engages the limbic pathway where the rewiring of emotional and psychological habits is possible and transformational.
Sessions with the horses go deep quickly. How do you show up in relationship to yourself, to others, and to life? How does your energy impact others? What might you need to learn about boundaries? What perspectives and mental models are actually limiting us, or keeping us back; and, what other perspectives are there? As you attune to your self through the mirror of a horse, you can uncover the ways of being in the world that are keeping you complicit in what you say you don’t want, and learn how you affect the field around you with your presence.
Horses teach us about ourselves, our relationships, our way of being in the world.
By giving us greater awareness of ourselves and the field we create, horses teach elusive yet essential personal growth and organizational change concepts in ways that are experienced, felt, and help reshape our neural landscape to support new growth and possibilities.
As prey animals, the equine nervous system is hyper-specific, which means they have an acute sensitivity which can read what’s happening on the landscape in a half mile radius around them. Horses can also pick up on emotions and feeling states of herd members. When you are in their presence, as part of the herd, they can read you too. In that way, they can help us find congruence in ourselves with who we really are, how we are being, and how our wholeness serves the whole herd.
