Take pause, quiet your mind and experience deep healing, clarity and inner-transformation through Equine Coaching, art, inquiry, sound healing, nature and community in this intimate, 3-night retreat for women. While many retreats host large groups, Shine Retreats cater to those who love the intimacy and connection of small, highly-personalized gatherings.
What would be possible for you and in your life, if you had the space to rest, play, connect and gain clarity on what's next -with EASE?
What would your days be like if you had the tools to make peace with stressful thoughts, limiting patterns, self-doubt and resentment so you could feel clear, intentional and confident?
Maybe tapping into the source of your joy and what you would most love to contribute to this crazy world doesn’t have to be hard or daunting, and maybe you don’t have to be a different type of person, have a different type of life or be perfectly balanced and well-rounded to feel free and vibrant.
What if your greatest source of creating anything you dream of is, YOUR IMAGINATION?
Like Glinda the Good Witch said to Dorothy, "You had the power all along, my dear."
And imagination is sparked, not by hyper-focus and a full schedule, but by SPACE.
While our cultural conditioning can lead us to believe that we can't afford to take time off or to invest in ourselves, it's actually the very thing that has us feel great and attract more great into our lives.
It's been a turbulent last few years to say the least.
2020 brought to the surface what no longer works, a shift in paradigm and a call for change.
2023 is inviting us to live, be and create in new ways. New ways that can feel unknown, overwhelming and disorienting.
The Shine Equus Retreat provides a space and process for ah-ha moments, the freedom of belly laughs, clarity, possibility, sisterhood and presence to the perfection of your extraordinary, imperfect life.
A life to love wholeheartedly.
"Participating with Shine has shifted my perspective in every area of my life. I'm loving my re-invented self and clarity. It's so liberating!!"

"Your retreat was truly one of the most transformational experiences I have ever had!" Phylis W.
My greatest joy is engaging in experiences and inquiry that free the spirit and give new life to the soul. My passion and art form is creating inspiring spaces that bring together essential ingredients for magic and deep transformation.
After years lost in school, at age 21, I was introduced to the world of personal growth and transformation and it lit a spark in me. A spark that has quite literally been an obsession for the past 28 years and has led to the absolute privilege of being a staff member, coach, leadership trainer, workshop leader and program designer for organizations committed to a better world.
With a vision of people being empowered to honor themselves, discover and align with their personal truth and lead joyful, soul-fueled lives, I founded Shine Life Design, LLC in 2013 and offer retreats, coaching and online programs.
Having led over 200 live weekend courses, 25+ years of coaching, 10 years of retreats and worked with thousands of people in various structures for personal growth, I've gained a tremendous love and understanding for what it is to be human and the shifts in perspective that set us free!
I live in the mountains of Utah with my husband, Seth, and our two teenage sons. We enjoy skiing, traveling and learning in life together - honoring the sovereign and infinitely imaginative being in each of us.
Now let me introduce you to my best friend and mom, Laurie Eastwood, who will be leading the art sessions!...
Hello! I'm a champion for creativity on every level and have a strong belief that we, as human beings, are wired to create. I'm intrigued by the creative spirit within each of us, that unfettered joy of making something…anything.
Embracing our creativity challenges us, puts us in a place of the unknown, expands our understanding, opens our hearts, asks us to be courageous and to trust in the process. Every piece of creative endeavor is a new beginning, a new possibility.
I began my art journey by creating black and white photos that I hand tinted, printed, framed and sold in the wholesale market, including Restoration Hardware and Eddie Bauer Homestore. It became a very successful business which I loved until I didn’t. It became familiar and known, the opposite of what creativity offers, the magic in the unknown! After 12 years, I left the business and began my search to understand and embrace the creative process.
During the creative sessions, I encourage trusting the process and embracing mystery over mastery. Like a metaphor for life; we practice playing and engaging with the art from a place of curiosity, courage and compassion.
It's a joy to offer this retreat with my daughter, Jaime, and Soulful Prairies Owner, Linda Bruce!
I believe strongly in seeking truth to create a full life. If we take note, rise to the occasion, and see our vulnerabilities for what they are, we create a deep richness that will cascade into the corners of our lives. A richness that brings peace, not only peace within, but also one that ripples out and changes everything.
We are here on this planet to experiment, seek, fall and get back up again, all the while becoming more and more of who we are really meant to be. If I can be a stepping stone to helping someone along their travels of exploration I am grateful and honored.
Horses are prey animals and therefore have a heightened sensitivity to their environment. Their innate ability to sense others' energies gives them the beautiful ability to reveal our own personal strengths and struggles. Insights through the joint work of a practitioner and a horse are life-changing.
We invite you to bask in the playful, nurturing space of The Shine Equus Retreat and share an unforgettable, healing, life-changing experience!
