The Hidden Cost of Staying in Survival Mode
When survival becomes the default, true living slips away
Even when life looks “fine” on the surface, your body tells a different story.
Chronic nervous system dysregulation, your internal alarm constantly primed, impacts everything from digestion to decision-making.
You may:
- Keep showing up strong while secretly feeling like you’re unraveling inside.
- Crave rest and silence, yet never seem to find the space you need.
- Repeat emotional loops, circling familiar pain points despite all your efforts.
- Feel stuck between the person you were and the one you’re becoming.
- Long for a deep connection, but grow tired of holding everything together alone.

Why Horses & Constellation Work?
A relational field where presence, not performance, prompts true healing
Horses don’t ask for your story; they mirror the subtle rhythms of your nervous system. They provide a clear reflection of what your mind can’t name and welcome parts of you that have long been braced against pain.
One moment, a horse stands quietly beside you until your breath deepens; the next, it gently invites you to notice where you’ve overridden your truth.
When I first sat in the saddle of my horse Saphira, I didn’t need words, just to feel her attunement. In her stillness, I rediscovered an inner quiet I hadn’t known I’d lost, and that reorientation became my life’s work. Now, for over 20 years, I’ve held this space so other women can remember their innate safety and reclaim the wholeness that was never lost.
Who is this retreat
for?
For women ready to meet themselves in truth, stillness, and sensation
This intimate 2½-day experience isn’t designed for quick fixes or busy agendas. It’s a tender invitation for women who have already done the inner work but haven’t yet felt it land. You’ll step into a space where every part of you is welcome.
✓ No performance required
✓ Discover what unfolds when your nervous system finally feels safe enough to open.
You’ll resonate deeply if you:
- Notice you’re self-aware yet still replay old emotional cycles
- Feel disconnected from your body, your voice, or your sense of belonging
- Crave deep presence, with yourself, others, and the earth beneath you
- Want to receive without having to explain or perform
- Long to be held in sacred space where no part of you is “too much”

Not because you’re doing more…
…but because you’re finally letting yourself be more deeply held.
This is where coping strategies get to lay down their armor.
Where “resilient” isn’t a badge, just an old story you no longer need."

Frequently Asked Questions
1. I’ve done a lot of inner work already. How is this different?
That’s exactly why this space was created. Many of the women who come to this retreat are self-aware, seasoned on their healing path, but something still hasn’t landed. This work isn’t another layer of insight to stack on top. It’s a return to your body’s knowing, held by horses who don’t need a story or explanation. They respond to what’s true beneath the words. That’s where real shifts happen.
2. What if I’ve never worked with horses before, or feel nervous around them?
You don’t need horse experience to receive this work. The herd is attuned, gentle, and deeply respectful. And I’m here with you every step of the way. Even if there’s a little fear, that too is welcome; it often opens the door to the exact healing your system is ready for. Many women find that their connection to the horses becomes one of the most powerful parts of the experience.
3. What actually happens during the retreat?
Each day unfolds slowly, intentionally. We begin with silent paddock time to arrive in our own field. From there, we move into constellation sessions—both group and individual—where the horses mirror the patterns your body holds. There’s time for guided integration, for tea, for stillness. There’s no rush here. Just space to drop in and let your nervous system exhale.
4. Why are there only six women in each retreat?
Healing doesn’t happen in crowded rooms. It happens when you feel safe, seen, and spacious. Limiting this retreat to six women allows every participant to receive focused attention, meaningful time in the field, and the depth of connection that’s only possible in intimate circles. You won’t be a face in the crowd. You’ll be held, just as you are.
5. What is constellation work, and how do horses fit into it?
Systemic constellation work is a powerful process that reveals hidden dynamics within your family or life system. When guided in the presence of horses, the field becomes even more embodied and alive. The horses move with instinctual clarity, often shifting energy that words cannot. They serve as co-facilitators, offering reflections, boundaries, and healing presence without an agenda.
6. I feel like I’m always in survival mode. Will this help?
Yes. This retreat is a space where your body can finally stop bracing. If you’re constantly alert, doing, and managing, your system needs a safe reset. Through somatic presence, deep witnessing, and the calm attunement of horses, you’ll begin to rewire your nervous system from survival to restoration. You don’t have to keep carrying it all alone.
7. What’s included in the $1,250 investment?
Your investment includes 2½ days of live facilitation, group and individual constellation work with the herd, daily paddock time, warm tea and nourishing spaces, guided integration, and continued support throughout the retreat. Lodging and meals aren’t included, but I’ll provide local recommendations to support your stay. Payment plans are available because I believe this work should be accessible when your heart says yes.
8. What if something big comes up during the retreat—will I be supported?
Absolutely. This is a trauma-informed space. Everything that arises is held gently and without rush. You’ll never be left to navigate something alone. I’m right there with you, and so is the circle. The rhythm of the retreat makes space for deep emotion, integration, and reorientation. You’ll leave not just with insight, but with support, embodiment, and real movement forward.
9. How do I know if now is the right time?
If your body leaned in while reading this… if something inside you softened or stirred… then it may be time. You don’t need to be “ready” in the way the world defines it. You only need a whisper of willingness. If you’re unsure, book a free discovery call or email me at gloria@glorialybecker.com. I’ll meet you exactly where you are.
This is a premium experience with lots of extras to enjoy.
Lodging is the only thing not included.

— Rhoda Ingstad, Arizona, USA
“I felt this huge release happen and with tears felt this incredible sense of peace”
“One major shift was becoming more aware of how my mood is fed off where the children are at which in reality is a reflection of me. Even with this new awareness it has felt like a big effort to actually acknowledge that I can stay present and focused on my child without becoming caught up with the emotion. I can feel when I get caught up in the emotion it is taking me away from my true self and the needs of my child in that moment. The first time I was able to stay truly present with the situation with my child and therefore hold my reacting self with compassion and understanding I felt this huge release happen and with tears felt this incredible sense of peace and understanding at what is.”
— Penny Cullen, New Zealand
“I am opening up to connection and trusting myself and others in a new way. It is very healing for me.”
“It was very meaningful for me to be held in the circles with such compassion and empathy. As I continue to join the classes and experience this kind of healing in a group setting, I am noticing how I am opening up to connection and trusting myself and others in a new way. It is very healing for me when others resonate with my experience and receive healing through my presence and my willingness to share. I also noticed I experienced a deeper level of healing through others vulnerability during the course and holding space for their experience.”
— Jennifer, Eastern Washington, USA
“The transformation that I have had taking this course has been incredible and I am living my life in a completely new way now. “
“I definitely recommend this course! The transformation that I have had taking this course has been incredible and I am living my life in a completely new way now.

— Ruth Crea, course participant
“Amazing what was revealed!”
“I love personal development and wanted to see how the whole program would enrich my life and help me to be the best person I can be. And what I found was I had so much to learn about how I communicate with myself and begin to recognize some of the things that I was burying inside. Amazing what was revealed!”
— Marian Palmer
“I discovered I have worth, I am worthy of consideration and care”
“While participating in this program I discovered I have worth, I am worthy of consideration and care, and I can hold myself with care in new and stronger ways. The best part about the program was that Gloria and her assistant, Ruth, were attentive, caring, respectful, and most inspiring. Together they created a true healing environment. I have been to many workshops over many years and found this one to be a highlight and a profound support to my wellbeing.
I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to experience a deepening in their personal growth, a heightened awareness of self and an improved relational sense with others.”
— Dr Betsy Arndt
“My own seed of warmth has been nourished by my experience, and I feel the positive reflection of that in my parenting very directly.”
“I deeply appreciate my experience with this course. Gloria holds the circles with such warmth and welcome, I would often feel an immediate sense of relaxation and deepening in hearing her voice. I felt the participants were treated with great respect and care, and this created a very safe and warm environment. I also gained some practice in finding need and feeling words to meet my inner experience, as well as experiencing empathy in the circles. If I were to pick one need that was met by the class, it would be warmth. My own seed of warmth has been nourished by my experience, and I feel the positive reflection of that in my parenting very directly. Many thanks!!”
