Retreat
”Ground with horses”
Hosted at the The Guardian House in Ibiza
May 7th – 10th, 2025
Retreat in Ibiza with horse healing
Imagine yourself in the peaceful embrace of Ibiza’s countryside, looking out over rolling hills, lush trees and the gentle presence of over 20 horses.
This retreat offers an exclusive opportunity to slow down, tune into yourself and find clarity through equine assisted coaching, breathwork and mindful practices.
In a serene and nurturing environment, you will reconnect with your inner wisdom and experience the healing power of horses.
In a small group of max. 6 people.
Ready to connect with what truly matters?
Horses have a unique way of helping you reconnect with yourself.
Through their natural ability to mirror your inner world, horses guide you in releasing tension and allowing you to let go of old patterns and rediscover your way to calm and clarity.
Our guardian horses are here to support you on a journey of relaxation, grounding and deepening your connection with the present moment. They help you connect with what truly matters in your life.

Your coach
I'm Vera, a certified horse coach based in Ibiza, combining my passion for horses with the island’s unique energy to guide personal and spiritual growth.
With a background in communication, media, and NLP coaching, I bring storytelling and deep connection into my sessions. My inspiration comes from my mentor pioneers in horse coaching and my own journey from Amsterdam to a more purposeful life in nature.
To deepen the experience of horse therapy, my husband and I started The Guardian House, a guesthouse with horses in Ibiza — where you can get closer to yourself with the power of horses.
