Women’s Retreat
Spring and Fall Retreats in Illinois
Join us for a Christian Retreat for Women
Equine Retreat
Are you exhausted, overwhelmed or overstimulated?
Does the change of seasons trigger old insecurities and sadness?
Do the markers of time passing cause a sense of loss?
Are you an empty nester and feeling a loss of purpose?
Have you experienced loss and change that you didn’t expect?
Are you newly divorced or widowed?
You know you need a change but you don’t know which way to go
Imagine taking a couple of sacred, precious days to savor the crisp fall air and beautiful autumn colors on 20 acres of rolling hills filled with oak trees, pine trees and horses. Imagine staying at a cozy historic farmhouse filled with antiques and cozy quilts and peaceful gardens.
By the end of this retreat, after spending time in nature, moving your body in kind ways, creating art, and working with our horses you will find a renewed sense of joy, purpose and connection to God. You will reconnect with your true identify and feel confident in what you can do in this next chapter of your life.
This Christian Retreat is designed for women who are struggling with a new season. As things have changed you may not recognize your life. Perhaps the silence feels louder and the spaces emptier. It’s unusual for you to feel so lost or empty of purpose but when your life changes it is normal to feel lost. Without a clear roadmap you may feel overwhelmed and disconnected from what used to give you joy.
But God hasn’t stopped his plans or purposes for your life during these changes.
“No one has ever seen or ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him”
1 Corinthians 2:9
Join us for this unique Christian Women’s Retreat to get a new perspective and regain your energy and passion for what you love. Get out of your usual routine, out of your house and stay with us for this unique retreat with horses or join us for each day with our day rate. We will spend time on a beautiful 20 acre Ranch conveniently located outside Chicago. We will partner you with horses so you can have a fun yet thought provoking experience that you will never forget. You will enjoy delicious Midwestern meals that evoke a sense of home as you enjoy the peaceful surroundings of New Morning Retreat Center.
We don’t do retreats like others. You will leave different. We offer you the opportunity to jump in, dig in and try new and creative approaches. By working with horses, you will see what works, what doesn’t work and can practice the approach that really works. Instead of just staying in your head, you will get a chance to experience empowering and creative solutions. By getting out of your comfort zone and experiencing something different you will begin to shed the lies you believe and embrace truth about who you are and what is next for you.

All activities are on the ground. No horse experience is needed. Horses are well suited to help individuals and groups develop leadership, teamwork and emotional IQ needed for success, as they live in social groups within a hierarchy of leadership. They require good leadership and live with well-defined roles to survive. They are clear in their communication and give immediate feedback to each other and to us! In order to be successful in working with horses you must develop self-awareness and an ability to regulate strong emotions.
Working with horses help you not just talk about change but actually practice change. Since horses are animals of prey, they are sensitive to the slightest change in our interactions with them. As such they provide honest, immediate and clear feedback. They have an amazing capacity for relationship and have unique personalities and stories. And since you are experiencing change in the moment it is hard to forget!
Hope Reins also offers a variety of customized corporate team building, leadership, communication and professional growth programs. Improve effectiveness and productivity as your team focuses on social learning, emotional IQ, flexibility and adaptability to the changing marketplace.
