Why spend a weekend away?
Do you find your days, weeks, and months flying by, unsure of how you got here?
Do you crave opportunities to turn off your email, phone, and the world?
Trying to figure out what's next and a path to get you there?
We have become so disconnected from ourselves, and making time and taking opportunities to reset, recharge, breathe, and BECOME feels out of reach. Commit to establishing who you want to be in 2023 with this personal growth experience.
At The Horse Shoe Farm, you will have the opportunity to participate in sessions to connect with your breath and move to re-discover inner strength and all the capabilities you already possess.
Guided personal growth activities, led by leaders in their craft, will help you examine where you are now in your life and assist you in discovering where you want to go.
This weekend experience is designed to help you disconnect from technology and reconnect with the greatest gift you have, your mind and body.

Jen Fortin e-ryt200, certified group fitness and sport yoga instructor
Yoga brought her a sense of peace and self discovery that she had never experienced before. Jen knew very quickly that sharing yoga with others was going to be her life’s passion.
While working on her personal training certification in 2014, Jen took a chance and added Hatha Yoga teacher training to her radar. Quickly thereafter, she began working with private clients for both yoga and general health and fitness. Jen was invited to work with the former professional soccer team the Carolina Railhawks (now NCFC), focusing on yoga for athletes, including injury prevention, muscular recovery, breath work, joint health, and improved
flexibility and mobility.
In 2015, Jen decided to take her yoga for athletes teachings a step further and embarked on studying with Sage Rountree in Carrboro, North Carolina, completing her Yoga for Athletes teacher training. Soon after, Jen continued to learn under Sage and her team, earning her RYT 200. She loves teaching vinyasa flow, deep stretch, yoga with weights, gentle flow, and playing with rhythmic sequencing.
