Join Transformational Coach Noreen O’Neill Roche for a heart-centred retreat where nature and horses gently guide you back to self-love, joy, and inner peace.

Through supportive practices and meaningful connection with the horses, you will:

Release old emotional patterns
Open your heart to self-love
Cultivate positive thoughts and emotions
Deepen your connection with yourself and others

Horses reflect our emotions and can reveal hidden truths, strengths, and pathways to healing. By tuning into their wisdom and the rhythms of nature, you may leave feeling lighter, more empowered, and more connected to your true self.

Creative Activities

At the retreat, you’ll reconnect with your Inner Child through playful, hands-on experiences such as art, crafts, clay, movement, and more. These creative practices help quiet the mind, reduce stress, and open the door to deeper connection with the horses.

Creativity flourishes through curiosity and enjoyment rather than structure or repetition. When you let go and explore freely, you can awaken hidden talents and allow personal growth to unfold naturally.

Be prepared to get your hands and clothes dirty!

Meditation with Horses

Through guided meditation with the horses, spirit guides, and angels, space is created to calm the mind, ease stress, and find clarity before connecting one-to-one with a horse.

Being fully present is essential—neither held by the past nor pulled into the future. When we release “shoulds” and return to the moment, we meet the horse with openness and trust. That shared presence allows fear to soften, revealing hidden talents and guiding us closer to our true purpose.

“Our observation rests on our perception, and our perception rests on our personal truth.”

What are people saying about my workshop?

Noreen is a wonderful person and what she offers is an experience of authenticity, self discovery, self trust and most importantly self love. I wouldn’t be where I am now without this retreat. — Linda

A lovely mix of structure and freedom. Low-key but a very intentional experience. Noreen is amazing at letting us do our work safely. — Sara

I had the most wonderful nurturing weekend with Noreen Roche and some other wonderful women at the Epona Retreat centre for the Rediscover your Inner Child weekend retreat. It was the perfect gift to myself, just when I felt the need to recharge my energy levels and some much needed self-care. Noreen has created such a beautiful space, where we were invited into her home for the weekend, grounding ourselves with Tai Chi on the dewy grass, guided meditations, Yoga, Artwork, beautiful food and of course working with her beautiful horses. It will be an experience that will stay with me for a long time. I am a huge advocate of Self-Care and nurturing of our Body, Mind and Spirit, giving ourselves the space and time to truly connect with our true selves. By doing so, we can give so much more to others whilst ensuring we also nurture ourselves. Thank you Noreen. Wishing you much love and light, — Valerie
