We had a rare opening come up for our Equine Retreat in September! Reach out and let us know if this calls you 💜

✨ LAST-MINUTE OPENING FOR WILD RETURN! ✨
We just had an unexpected spot open up for Wild Return: Equine-Assisted Retreat! 🐴🌿
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, wishing you could come, or thought you missed your chance… this might be your sign. ❤️
We have ONE spot available!!
This opening is in our shared King room. You can either share the King bed with another retreat attendee (who is totally comfortable sharing!) OR we can set up a twin-size air mattress in the room if you’d prefer your own sleeping space.
Everything else is the full Wild Return experience — horses, connection, healing, IFS-informed work, Reiki, sound, time in nature, and space to come back home to yourself. 🌿🐴
Because this is a last-minute opening, reach out to me ASAP if you’re interested or want more information. Feel free to message me directly or book on our website! ❤️
One spot. One unexpected opening. Maybe it’s yours. ✨

The sun never felt so good on my face. I swear I could see golden geometric shapes as the most peaceful, joyful codes began searing into my soul. I don’t believe this was possible had I not felt the agony of the preceding weekend.

It was the final day of the silent/meditation retreat.

I came in excited. My previous two retreats here had been deeply peaceful and insightful. Add in the planetary alignments of the Barbault Basket and the approaching Lion’s Gate, and surely this retreat would bring some BIG revelations, right?

Instead… crickets.

By day two, my entire right neck and shoulder had seized up. As an IFS and Somatic therapist, I got curious: What is my body trying to tell me?

More crickets.

My protective parts started protesting. My logic wanted to analyze the “why.” My anger was getting pretty fed up with the silence and pain. And despite all my therapeutic tools and wisdom… nothing changed.

Then came the pressure:

We have so little time left! Are there going to be NO epiphanies?!

My meditations kept returning me to:

Begin again.
Relax back to Self.
Release the agenda.

Except… I still had an agenda.

I wanted the pressure to release. I wanted the insight. I wanted to figure it out.

By our final meditation Sunday morning, I was exhausted and honestly a little disheartened.

And then… the breakthrough.

I finally saw the Warrior Woman part of me—the part I experience as a plexiglass shield across the front of my body. I hadn’t intentionally connected with her in a long time.

My heart opened with such tenderness as I saw all the ways she had protected me and my daughters, fighting to keep us safe while also trying to remain present through traumatic moments.

And suddenly, the lesson was clear:

QUIT TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.

Or, more lovingly:

LET IT BE.

I realized how much I was still trying to control the process—even while telling myself I was surrendering.

Maybe I wasn’t supposed to see the lesson yet.

Maybe I was simply supposed to be present while living through it.

A fascinating Stanford study found that who we are depends, in part, on where we are.

The researchers discovered that our environments influence the parts of ourselves that come forward. When people spent time outside of their usual routines—in social, engaging, or novel environments—they tended to feel more open, connected, emotionally balanced, and engaged with life. Sometimes, changing where we are helps us remember who we are. (Stanford News)

I see this all the time in my work.

So many people tell me, “I don’t even know who I am anymore.”

It’s rarely because they’ve lost themselves forever. More often, they’ve been living in the same routines, carrying the same responsibilities, responding to the same stressors day after day. Their nervous system has adapted to survival instead of expansion.

There is something profoundly healing about stepping outside of the environment that shaped your exhaustion.

Egypt isn’t magical JUST because it’s Egypt.

It’s also magical because it invites you to pause long enough to hear yourself again.

To wake with the sun.
To float in the Red Sea with wild dolphins.
To sit beneath an endless sky.
To move your body.
To breathe deeply.
To remember the person who existed before everyone else needed something from you.

Healing doesn’t require becoming someone new.

Sometimes it simply requires changing your surroundings long enough to reconnect with the person you’ve always been.

✨ I have four spaces remaining for my November Egypt retreat, and I would be honored to share this journey with you if your heart has been whispering “it’s time.”

Maybe that whisper isn’t asking you to escape your life.

Maybe it’s inviting you back to yourSelf.

Today as I stood in Brazil along the coastline, feeling the power of the water, I thought about the power we hold as women - and how much we’ve been conditioned to give it away.

There are so many fears we can face when it comes to standing fully in our power. I know this has been a big journey for me.

Many of us learned, at a very young age, that there could be consequences for taking up space.

We learned that being “too loud” made us difficult.
Being “too confident” made us intimidating.
Having boundaries made us selfish.
Speaking our truth made us disrespectful.
Trusting our intuition made us irrational.

So we learned to soften ourselves.
To smile when we wanted to scream.
To question ourselves before speaking.
To make ourselves more palatable so we would be accepted, loved, or simply left in peace.

This isn’t because we’re weak.

It’s because many of us have been conditioned to believe that our safety, belonging, or worth depended on how comfortable we made other people feel.

But something beautiful happens when we, as women, begin remembering who we are.

We stops apologizing for existing.

We speak with clarity.
We trust our intuition.
We honors our boundaries.
We allow ourselves to be seen.
We stop abandoning ourselves to keep the peace.

A woman standing in her power isn’t something to fear.

We aren’t trying to control anyone.
We aren’t trying to be above anyone.

We are simply no longer willing to betray ourselves.

And when we stand in our power, we also stand in our gifts.

The world receives the healer who no longer hides.
The artist who no longer doubts.
The leader who no longer waits for permission.
The mother who leads with wisdom instead of fear.
The woman who remembers that her voice matters.

Imagine what would be possible if we no longer believed we had to shrink in order to belong.

Maybe the most radical thing we can do isn’t become someone new.

Maybe it’s remembering the woman we were before the world taught us to make ourselves smaller 💜

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

To every person who has ever wondered if they belong, if they are too much, not enough, or whether they are worthy of love exactly as they are:

You belong.

You are worthy.

You are loved.

This is a space where all parts of you are welcome. A space for authenticity, healing, self-discovery, and coming home to yourself without judgment.

This Pride Month, I honor the courage it takes to live as your true Self and celebrate the beauty, resilience, and diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community.

May you know that you do not have to earn your belonging. It has always been yours.

With love, Brandy🌈💜
