Your Retreat + Equine Wisdom Programing + Asheville = Transformational
Collaborate with us to design a custom retreat with your program at the heart. Bring your guests to our beautiful land and let us make it easy for you. We provide the local knowledge, lodging, transportation and cuisine and we handle the operations so you can focus on the transformation and holding space.
HapBE Valley sets the tone for powerful and transformative experiences. Guests feel the calm and grounding energy of land which combines views of the mountains while being held by the valley. The presence of horses, goats and other friendly animals enhance the experience.
Our equine programs will amplify your work and bring people to new self awareness. Asheville is known as a community of healers and we can assist you in bringing in local practitioners with expertise in meditation, sound healing, breathwork, reiki, family constellation work, somatics, art, fire ceremonies, and Indigenous-led sweat lodges—creating a retreat experience that is unique and will be remembered long after guests return home.
