Heart Frequency Healing Retreats

Heart Frequency Healing 5-Day Live Learning Retreat

Discover the profound healing power that emerges when human and horse synchronize through a mutual heart-centered exchange of energy and intention.

April 12-18, 2026 in COSTA RICA

A Transformational Journey into Heart-Centered Healing

A 5-Day Immersive Energy Healing Retreat that offers a unique opportunity to learn fundamental energy healing with animals as well as receiving healing energy from horses.

Reconnect with Your Heart’s Wisdom

In today’s fast-paced world, we often disconnect from our heart’s innate wisdom. Horses—with their expansive heart electromagnetic fields and intuitive presence—create a space where deep healing can occur naturally. During this retreat, you’ll learn to attune to your own heart frequency and develop the ability to both offer and receive healing energy with horses as your teachers and guides.

For 5 days, you’ll be immersed in an environment designed to facilitate profound healing and connection. Each day builds upon the previous, creating a seamless journey toward heart coherence and energetic alignment with yourself and all other beings.

Opening to Presence

Begin your journey with gentle introduction practices designed to quiet the mind and open the heart. You’ll meet the horses in a guided encounter that allows you to experience their extraordinary sensitivity and presence. Through heart-opening exercises, you’ll begin to feel the subtle energy field that surrounds these majestic beings.

Developing Heart Coherence

Learn powerful techniques to regulate your nervous system and achieve heart coherence—a measurable state where your heart rhythms become more ordered, creating harmony between your emotional, mental, and physical systems. Experience how horses respond differently when you enter this state, mirroring your internal shift with their behavior and energetic response.

The Reciprocal Healing Exchange

Explore the reciprocal nature of energy healing with horses. You will have many opportunities to receive healing energy from the horses, addressing specific personal emotional or physical challenges you may be facing. Then, you’ll learn how to offer and direct healing energy back to the horses, developing skills that can be transferred to other animals in your life. Participants often report profound shifts, emotional releases, or gain clarity and insights during these sessions.

Deepening the Healing Practice

Learn how to “read” an animal’s energy, identify areas of imbalance, and offer targeted healing. You’ll practice hands-on energy healing techniques that can be directly applied to horses, dogs, cats, and other animals, creating a powerful toolbox of healing modalities to take home with you.

Integration and Embodiment

Learn how to integrate these reciprocal healing practices into your daily life and with your own animals and yourself. Through personalized guidance, you’ll create a sustainable plan for maintaining heart coherence and energy awareness long after the retreat ends.

Your Days in the Retreat will Include:
- Gentle movement practices and heart-opening exercises that connect you with the wisdom of your own body and energy field
- Guided sessions with the horses, focused on learning specific energy healing techniques and receiving healing energy from the horses
- Hands-on practice of energy healing techniques with the horses, with expert guidance and feedback
- Small group and individualized sessions with the horses to work on personal growth and development
- Group sharing circles, reflective practices, and heart-centered community building
What You’ll Experience:
- Develop heart coherence practices that transform your relationship with yourself and others
- Experience profound shifts as horses mirror your inner landscape and guide your healing journey
- Receive powerful healing directly from the horses, addressing your own emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual challenges
- Learn practical energy healing techniques you can apply to horses and transfer to your own animals at home
- Gain confidence in your ability to sense energy fields and offer healing touch
- Connect with a community of like-minded individuals in a supportive, nurturing environment
- Access deeper states of intuition and inner knowing through heart-field expansion
- Release energetic blocks and patterns that no longer serve your highest good
- Return home with practical tools for maintaining energetic balance in daily life
This Retreat Is Perfect For:
- Animal lovers seeking deeper connection with horses and their own animals
- Those wanting to learn transferable energy healing skills for their own pets
- Healing practitioners wanting to develop and expand their healing modalities and skills
- Those navigating personal challenges or transitions
- Anyone feeling called to experience the transformative power of heart-centered healing

Join Us for This Life-Changing Experience

Return home not just refreshed, but fundamentally reconnected to the wisdom of your heart and equipped with practical foundational energy healing skills you can share with all the animals and people in your life.

This transformational experience focuses entirely on heart-based connection with the horses—no horseback riding will take place. This heart-centered approach creates opportunities for deep self-discovery, spiritual development, and healing that traditional equestrian riding activities don’t access.

Each event is limited to a maximum of 6 participants (minimum of 3) to ensure personalized attention and an intimate group experience with the horses. The moment you register, your journey toward heart-centered healing and transformation in partnership with these extraordinary beings begins.

No prior experience with horses or energy healing is required—only an open heart and willingness to explore what is possible with horses as our healers, teachers, and guides.

Registration dates for 2026 Opening Soon!

Space is limited to 6 people per experience

Anna Marie has the most wonderful Gift of Horse and animal intuition. She is an excellent coach, who knows how to ask the right questions and go to places that may be uncomfortable, but necessary for growth in a loving and compassionate way. I highly recommend having the “experience” as you will walk away changed in so many wonderful ways. It’s a profound investment in Yourself. It was such a pleasure to share space with Anna Marie and the animals and it will be something that stays with me forever.

You and your whole tribe provided a safe haven for healing. The most memorable moment for me has to be the complete love and healing power I felt from your whole tribe in the round pen healing session. When I replay it in my mind, I still feel the vibrating energy pulsing through my entire body. I continue to have flashbacks of connectedness I felt with each of you. My heart and soul are forever changed by the love and compassion I felt over that incredible weekend! The complete feeling of love, compassion, and acceptance into your herd provided accelerated healing on a soul level. Thank you for a life changing weekend! I look forward to doing more healing work with you and your tribe in the future.

My Healed by a Horse weekend change my life in ways that exceeded my expectations. Anna Marie encouraged me to be really honest and vulnerable with the herd and in doing so I was rewarded with deep healing. Anna Marie holds space in a beautiful, non-judgmental way that allows you to go really deep into the experience and feel supported in the face of whatever is coming up. I arrived at Anna Marie‘s afraid of being around horses. I left two days later profoundly changed, and in awe of the beauty and love I experienced being around them.

Anna Marie is intuitively guided to create an experience that is perfect for what you need in the moment. She blends strength and compassion as she encourages you to go for it in a way that feels supportive and empowering. I continue to find things that have changed and healed as a result of my time with Anna Marie and her herd. It is an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life!

Monica~

My private Healed by a Horse session was a life expanding event. Anna Marie and her herd guided me through the process so I felt safe and could be vulnerable. The horses were amazing at reading my energy and conveying through their behavior that I had a lack of healthy boundaries. It was truly mind blowing seeing how much accurate information the horses shared. The horses then worked with me to strengthen my boundaries. The horses also did Reiki on me, which I didn’t even know was possible! I left feeling rejuvenated and grounded with a new outlook on my life.

Karen~

I spent a weekend at Anna Marie’s place receiving a Healed by a Horse coaching session and learning Animal Reiki I & II with her horses. This by far was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Working on different activities with her horses helped me find my confidence! I continue to have the confidence I need to speak up for myself in such a productive way in my personal and professional life. I have been able to focus more and move forward on decisions that needed to be made. On the second day, I received a Reiki session from her horses. What an amazing experience!! Her horses knew which chakras I struggle with and helped release the bad energy I had to let go. I would highly recommend any of Anna Marie’s services!

The Self-Care Sunday Retreat experience Anna Marie has created is right up there with releasing baby turtles into the Pacific and walking on fire with Tony Robbins. It has had a lasting effect of heart felt energy times 10! It’s a great start and I would like to take more individualized therapy with her and her horses. I’ve been telling everyone about her magical herd of horses. Plus, friends have seen a real difference in me!

Linda~

The whole meditation with the horses was beautiful and the energy was amazing! Nikki rubbing her lips next to my chin during the meditation; she was so gentle. Staring Al in the eye and feeling what he wanted to tell me. I learned things about myself and what I need to work on releasing, like I need to get in touch with my feelings and pay closer attention what my body is telling me in different situations. I feel calmer, more confident. When I get stressed, I think about all 3 horses and it melts away any anxiety.

Anna Marie is a very loving professional person. You feel at ease right away and very welcomed. She knows and loves her horses and all her animals.

Heidi~

I highly recommend Healed By A Horse Best therapy out there (if you love horses as much as I do). This was definitely one of my best days ever Thank you Anna Marie Ellison for offering such a wonderful retreat!

Julie~

Wonderful program! The calm and supportive nature of Anna Marie along with the empowering energy of the horses (not to mention the other animals on her farm) will help you along your spiritual path in ways you never thought imaginable. You won’t regret booking an experience with her and her horses. I am still reeling from the incredible energy and healing I experienced. Amazing is an understatement! Thank you Anna Marie, Hercules, Al and Nikki for everything. I highly recommend it!!

Arlene~

Thank you for your amazing intuitive and gentle healing session. It was a very unique and powerful session. I will consider future sessions with you and the horses. Looking at the pictures brings this experience back and I once again felt the special love and acceptance from these beautiful animals. Since my Healed by a a Horse experience, I am not taking myself so seriously. I am judging myself less and comparing myself to others a lot less.

Kristen~

The 5-day Heart Frequency Healing Live Learning retreat, led with compassion and love, was an incredible experience. An exploration of self and how I am as a human was and will continue to be life changing. What I have learned from the horses and Anna Marie will be with me as I continue on my journey. Anna Marie has created a beautiful, safe space to learn and to grow. I am forever grateful. With gratitude and love…
