Join us to Galapagos in 2022


 Shifting Tides: a Retreat with Horses on the Galapagos Islands 

 June 11 – 18, 2022 
 August 20 – 28, 2022 


We are in an era of new normals, of evolving realities

We are navigating a world of restrictions, safety measures, and distancing.
Our surroundings and lifestyles are changing from one day to the next.

The only certainty in a time like this, is the certainty of change.

So much appears to be decided for you.

Yet YOU hold the power of adaptation. 
You can shift the tides in your favor.

This retreat is dedicated to the exploration of your self, your environment, and the relationship between the two.

As you connect with the islands’ ecosystems, you will adopt their unique and profound capacity for adaptation.
You will think beyond current circumstances, draw wisdom from nature, and realign your life path.

Through bold, intentional shifts, you will expand into a more balanced, fulfilling life.

In times of adversity so much more is possible. We urge you to harness the opportunity that change brings us!

Perhaps you haven’t even considered what you are truly capable of.
Or maybe it’s time to be honest about what you need to shed, tweak, adapt, and transform.

Pristine beaches and marine life

Claudia Moreno - Retreat Host

German expat Claudia is the founder of the Galapagos Horse Friends Foundation, and the care-taker of the herd. She will be our tour leader and local expert. Claudia came to the island over 20 years ago and lives in the highlands of Santa Cruz with many rescued dogs in an unfinished house because every penny goes to the care of the herd. She feels empowered by natural connection and by relaxing with her lovely herd of majestic guiding soul-guides.

Claudia says: “We all deserve the time to reflect on ourselves and there is no better place to do this than in the pasture of a free-roaming herd of horses.”
By joining our retreat, you will directly contribute to the upkeep of Claudia´s rescue herd that depends on visitors like you.
