When I signed up for your retreat I saw gentle stretch-tone-align classes, food, farm, animals, and horse time! I was like yes! What I didn’t realize was I was going to go away with a renewed sense of myself and my purpose. I connected with a person I had forgotten about. She is strong, kind, powerful, creative, and is loud! The yoga stretched and renewed my body. The food was delicious and plentiful. MY room and bed were comfortable and decorated with thoughtful care.

The horse therapy grounded my soul. The horses shared their strength and natural wisdom. The speakers all had powerful encouraging messages that I was able to take away from.

I will be recommending Thrive Farm Retreat to every woman I know.

A wonderful retreat experience!

“Thrive farm is a fantastic place to be. The house is so beautiful, the yoga barn is so peaceful, I love it. I experienced my first equine therapy, and that was amazing. The accommodations were so comfortable and spacious. The food was delicious. Susan was wonderful. The yoga and art garage were refreshing and beautiful. Thank you so much for a wonderful retreat experience. I recommend this place to anyone that wants to find peace and abundance.

– Maria Carrasco

Calm washes over me.

“What a magical place to rejuvenate the soul, bask in the beauty of the land, interact with Susan’s majestic, sweet, gentle horses, take a quiet walk in the woods, soak in Susan’s wisdom, insight, and empathy, meditate, reflect, and enjoy the heart filling thought provoking shares and discussions with other beautiful souls. So grateful to have this peaceful haven to escape to when life gets to be a bit much. My nervous system has been in full-on sympathetic mode and my experiences at Thrive Farm never fail to flip that switch into parasympathetic mode aka ‘rest and digest.’ Calm washes over me the second I arrive and, despite life coming at me hard this week, I’m feeling so at peace and much more confident that I can take life’s trials in stride. I feel empowered to access that soothing place of calm equanimity knowing that this too shall pass. And if it doesn’t? Well, then I just head back to Thrive Farm for more soul sustenance!

I have experienced retreats in the past in different countries in South America and few states in the USA. It is the first time that I feel true healing (yes, there were things that I experienced for the first time) and maybe that’s what made this retreat, this experience, so unique and unforgettable.

Thank you Susan M for offering this amazing place to heal, to connect, and to feel that the sky is the limit. The energy in the house felt so comfortable. The little pets in the house made it feel like I was home. The energy of the speakers and teacher was enthusiastic and so informative. The experience of the women made me feel that I was not alone. The experience with the horses (Lola) was so unique, I felt she knew me, and the confidence Kristen made me feel with the horses was so unique.

Camille was so knowledgeable and gave so much information. The way she has to teach peace and abundance was excellent.

The food was delicious, and seeing the cooks prepare the food was an experience.

The mindfulness exercises with Susan were soothing, and the art time and conversation was something I will bring in my hard for long time.

The yoga practice (something I have not experienced before) was amazing and amazingly healing). Rosy was incredible.

Thank you so much Susan for opening your farm to experience peace and abundance.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve never been to a retreat before. How do I prepare?

Do things that make you feel more relaxed, such as practicing mindfulness meditation, yoga, or walking in nature. The more you can ease into a relaxed state, the more receptive you are likely to be to the experience once you arrive.

On a more practical level, have weather appropriate clothing (check the forecast for Lafayette GA). For working with horses you will need closed toed shoes that fit snugly and securely on your feet. You will also need to bring some yoga clothes, boots, comfortable walking shoes. Plan to dress in layers as the temperature can fluctuate throughout the day and we’ll be doing indoor and outdoor activities.

Susan is an exceptional person who has created a place where she can feed and nurture the mind, spirit, and body. Due to the pre-work Susan sent me, everything about my experience at the Farm was unique to me and what I needed. I truly appreciate the time and effort she spent getting to know me and my goals for being at the Farm. The setting is picturesque, and the accommodations are peaceful and quiet. Thrive Farm is my Happy Place!
