The week

Seven days for yourself

Each day invites you to explore a different aspect of yourself — a rhythm of reflection, presence, and discovery with the horses.

Time with the horses, other women, daily yoga, shared reflections, and moments in nature create the gentle rhythm of each day.

Each day explores a different theme, while leaving space for whatever naturally wants to emerge. Nothing is forced. Every experience builds quietly on the one before.

Day by day

Your time in Cornacchino

From your arrival on Saturday to your farewell on Saturday, each day offers its own focus while becoming part of one continuous experience.

  1. Saturday

    Arrival

    Your time at Cornacchino begins with a warm welcome and the opportunity to settle in, slow down, and meet the other women.

  2. Sunday

    What is calling you?

    Sunday morning begins with an interactive workshop introducing the world of horses and the foundations of our work together.

    We explore:

    • How horses perceive the world
    • Their natural needs and behaviour
    • Body language and emotional awareness
    • Leadership, trust, and relationship
    • Body awareness

    In the afternoon theory becomes experience as you meet the herd for the first time. Through guided horse experiences and heart coherence, your journey begins.

  3. Monday

    Intuition & Action

    What changes when intuition and action move together?

    Working with the horses, you explore how clarity emerges and what becomes possible when you trust your own inner knowing.

  4. Tuesday

    Trust & control

    What becomes possible when trust takes the place of control?

    The horses invite you to discover how openness, authenticity, and presence transform the way we relate to ourselves, to others and life itself.

    Authentic strength & healthy boundaries

    What changes when you trust your own boundaries?

    Explore how clarity, self-respect, and honest communication create relationships that are both grounded and deeply connected.

  6. Thursday

    What wants to grow?

    Every group is unique.

    Every group follows its own path. This day responds to what has naturally emerged, creating space to deepen your experience and follow what feels most alive.

  7. Friday

    What stays with you

    Together we look back on the week and explore how its insights and experiences can continue to support you long after you return home.
