Awakening Calm in a Time of Chaos
A Three-Day Journey of Nervous System Regulation, Embodied Wisdom, and Renewal:
As the world around us continues to shift unpredictably, our nervous systems bear the weight of uncertainty, digital overstimulation, and collective anxiety. This intimate three-day Soul Strides retreat at 1440 Multiversity offers a sanctuary for deep nervous system recalibration—guiding you to access inner calm, ground yourself in present-moment awareness, and emerge with renewed clarity and resilience.
Spring—with its inherent qualities of emergence and renewal—provides the perfect backdrop for personal transformation. Through the powerful combination of ketamine-assisted therapy, equine wisdom, and supportive group process, participants will discover sustainable practices for cultivating steadiness amidst chaos, learning to trust the intelligence of their bodies and the wisdom of their emotions.
Core Themes & Intentions
🌿 Awakening Calm – Cultivating inner peace through mindful presence and nervous system regulation practices that can be integrated into daily life.
🐎 Embodied Wisdom – Harnessing the mirror of equine connection to deepen somatic awareness, strengthen boundaries, and establish genuine safety.
🔥 Resilient Renewal – Embracing spring’s energy as a catalyst for personal transformation and sustainable well-being.
⚡ Finding Balance – Honoring both activation and rest as essential components of a regulated nervous system.
Through guided therapeutic experiences, nature immersion at the stunning 1440 campus, and evidence-based integrative practices, participants will learn to navigate both activation and stillness—embracing the paradox of movement and rest, just as spring balances the vitality of new growth with the stability of deep roots.
Who This Retreat Is For:
Individuals seeking a deeper connection to themselves in a supportive community setting, those navigating life transitions, and anyone ready to develop practical tools for nervous system regulation in daily life.

“The experience of this retreat really helped me take a big step towards releasing, or rather, not attaching to my identity as defined by past trauma and allowing me a glimpse of the vast amount of joy and love in the universe. I am learning to feel safe and accepted. This weekend played a huge role in that.”
“The horses were my mirror into what was going on inside of me. They held space for me and helped me deep dive into my painful story about connection and the fears that go along with it. They were amazing and calming and patient”
“I think all of the pieces (of the retreat) fit together to provide such an impactful experience. Of course, the Equus therapy and ketamine were impactful. But I think the process of developing the relationships with others as a group and growing through the experience together provided for deeper self-inquiry and growth. The difference between our first and second journeys really reflects this.”
“Sara, I trust you with my life and because of that, I have no fear about going deep with the Ketamine. You are great with holding space. You show up and let the medicine do the teaching. Alison, you seem to have a way of knowing what I need to work on and how to guide me in the right direction towards self-discovery. You both have a third eye :)”
