Imagine yourself on horseback, your group riding quietly through a magnificent valley toward a looming vista. The rich smell of grass, leather, and wildflowers surrounds you as you feel the warm sun on your neck and shoulders. It pierces the cloudless, baby-blue sky.
In the distance, coyotes tease the dogs who accompany you, their sole job to protect horse and rider. You’ve never been this close to a coyote before, but then, before yesterday, you’d never seen a moose or buffalo, either.
The warm breeze and the horse’s steady gait lull you into an altered state. You notice your breath is slow and full. You can’t remember the last time you felt this relaxed, this present. Feeling easy in the saddle, you’re one with your horse, as he carefully picks his way up the rocky trail to the overlook.
You stop, stunned. Beneath you, across the horizon for as far as you can see, is the stunning beauty of Yellowstone National Park.
The retreat takes place at the iconic B Bar Ranch, a working cattle ranch and retreat center that hosts a few lucky guests each year. Nestled in the Tom Miner Basin, the B Bar’s stunning landscape, shaped by glaciers and volcanoes, boasts a legacy of mountains, rivers, and lakes.
The B Bar is the perfect spot to drop in and drop down. Here there’s no to-do list, family to care for, or work projects. You’re able to breathe, relax, and let go of that chronic feeling of being wired and tired.
On the ranch, our goal is to do less. Learning to pause, receive, and allow is a lesson best taught by nature.
Immersed in her grandeur, you’ll learn to feel more deeply and respond to life with greater presence. By accepting our imperfections, we can trade our Superwoman’s cape for grounded authenticity. And that’s a superpower we just can’t fake.
The activities, fellowship, and teachings on this retreat provide a respite from everyday distractions and a path to inner renewal.
You’ll journey inward to a place you might recognize but haven’t visited lately: that still quiet place of inner knowing. You have everything you need, and you are everything you need to be.
Going on a retreat is a way to invest in your value and self-care. It’s a necessary and healing way to honor your value and self-worth.
Because we are revealed not only through our accomplishments and daring adventures but also by the butterfly lilting above the wildflower, and the sweet smell of grass in the morning.
This is a heart-centered retreat, meaning we focus on aligning our hearts’ desires with our daily choices.
Our lives are not solely determined by our thoughts. Our hearts impact every facet of our physical, emotional, and spiritual life.
Attuning to heart changes your world. Love, compassion, and calm become your preferred state.
Heart-centered practices help us drop our defenses and hyper-vigilance to experience life with more joy and presence. The heart-centric techniques you learn on this retreat will transform the way you connect to yourself and the people in it. You’ll return to these simple, powerful tools in the months and years following your retreat.
Investing in yourself is powerful. Investing in yourself in the presence of other women on the same path is transformational.
Studies show that women’s friendships have a bigger impact on our overall health than family relationships. We support and show compassion to each other because of our shared experiences and challenges.
When we listen, support, hug, and encourage one another, we release higher levels of oxytocin. Oxytocin, also called the “love” hormone, is produced in the brain and has multiple benefits like reducing stress, boosting immunity, and promoting calmness and confidence.

Ask any woman who has ever attended one of our retreats and they will all tell you the content of the retreat, but the other women there transformed them as well.
Daily adventures include morning meditation, mindful movement, and hiking some of the most beautiful terrain on Earth. Your hikes will challenge you physically but feed you spiritually.

Saddle up and explore the wildflowers, wildlife, and impressive landscape of the Tom Minor Basin. Our gentlemen cowboy guides are not only handsome but caring, knowledgeable, and playful enough to put even the most skittish rider at ease. Climb on and ride on for an experience you’ll remember all of your life.
The B Bar Ranch is the natural habitat for grizzly bears. You may even spy a momma bear and cubs in the distance. Each evening, the road to the ranch fills with tourists hoping to glimpse bears or a moose. As a guest of the ranch, you’ll have the best view of all!
The ranch has a spacious modern yurt for morning Pilates and meditation. We’ll begin each day with a combination of breathing exercises, Pilates-based movement, and guided meditation.
The yurt is also where we’ll study the medicine wheel and experience a very special sound bathing session.
A short walk away from the lodge and cabins, this space is also open for your private meditation and movement practice.
You’ll be getting plenty of exercise and adventure, but we’ve also scheduled plenty of downtime for you to relax and unwind on this retreat.
Wake up early to enjoy the breathtaking sunrise; greet the day with a steaming mug of hot coffee or tea.
Wander out to the big lodge porch and plant yourself in a rocking chair for a long, lazy rad. Or cozy up in front of the lodge’s stone fireplace with your journal for some soul-filling reflection.
Take time to observe the wildlife. Look around you. Allow the healing power of nature to move you.
You are a witness to one of the most pristine and sacred valleys on Earth.a
Nature is our spiritual teacher, always willing to share her wisdom and grace. Her grounding energy helps us turn down noise and distractions to become more present and aware in the moment.
Practicing this communion daily increases our awareness, gratitude, resilience, and courage.
Rediscover Gaia’s presence in every wildflower, rainbow, tree, and sunset. Connect with nature and develop a spiritual practice that will nurture and sustain you for years.
Eating clean food is a struggle for many women because of the pace and demands of work and home. The stress of shopping and preparing meals often robs us of the very pleasure we seek from eating.
The B Bar Chef at the ranch handles all the cooking, cleaning, and planning, allowing you to unwind and savor farm-to-table meals every day.
Discover how food influences hormone balance, weight, energy, focus, and sex drive in our discussion. Stress and the quality of our foods directly affect our hormones. Learn strategies to eat and manage your stress to feel leaner, stronger, and more centered. Vegetarian and vegan menu options are available upon request.
Imagine sitting beneath the full moon, the smell of the campfire and hot chocolate wafting up your nose. You’re dressed warmly for the cooler night temperatures, the fire keeping you warm and toasty.
The moon is full, and you enjoy the company of your new friends around the dinner table, eating a delicious dinner under the stars. You laugh, share stories, and marvel at the discoveries this retreat has brought to you.
After dinner, we gather in a circle to support one another as we burn the slips of paper where we’ve written what we want to let go of. We expand into a more vibrant and joyful future of our creation.
We release, we let go, and we never forget this circle, these words, these women, this moment.
The ranch has six roomy A-frame cabins. Each has two king-sized beds, one on the main floor and the other upstairs in the loft. If rooming with a friend, you’ll share a bathroom, sitting area, and scenic front porch.
The cabins are a minute’s walk from the lodge and sit amongst an aspen grove, overlooking a pond with Sheep Mountain’s stunning backdrop.
All rooms are a short stroll away from an open-air hot tub, where you’ll enjoy unparalleled celestial viewing.
There are 5 semi-private cabins.
** If you have a group of close girlfriends and want to share a cabin, we can split the cabin into 4 twin-sized beds- 2 downstairs and 2 in the loft.
The cabins will book fast, so if you have a group that is committed, grab your cabin fast.
The lodge, with its log furniture, large dining room, warm great room, stone fireplace, and sunny deck, is where we come together for meals and fellowship.
The lodge also has three private rooms available. One of these can accommodate two people in separate beds by request.
