The Retreats / Family & Group Retreats

Family & Group Retreats
Bring your own group. We build the days around you. No forced schedule, no performance for visitors.
What's included
- Private yurt cluster for your group
- All meals, family-style
- Flexible itinerary, built together with Dinara
Who it's for: friend groups, families, and small teams of up to ten who want the experience on their own terms, minimum two-night stay.
Build your own mix
This retreat isn't centered on the horses the way Steppe Awakening and the Deep Dive are, it's centered on your group. Horse time is one option among others, not a given. Past groups have mixed in:
Tell us what your group actually wants when you apply, and we'll build it into the days.

What a Day Might Look Like
There's no fixed itinerary here, that's the point, but most days fall into a rhythm something like this.
Morning
Tea, then whatever the group chose the night before, archery, an ATV run, time with the herd, ready whenever you are, no set call time.
Afternoon
More of the same, or something different, hiking, a longer ride, simply resting at the yurts, family-style meals whenever everyone's hungry rather than a set sitting.
Evening
Fire, dinner with Dinara and the team, and whatever conversation the group wants. Built together each day, not handed to you in advance.
