After breakfast we may split into groups (based on experience and interest) to explore the hiking trails or work one-on-one with Asia and the horse wranglers in the corral. 

After the morning hike or wrangling session,  we enjoy a delicious, authentic energy-boosting lunch. After lunch we take a short break break, before pulling up our boots, and dusting off our jeans for a 2 hour horseback ride through the Sonoran Desert

There will be  instructors for ALL levels of experience - you will be supported in either a gentle or challenging ride - it's up to you!  

We also have some great excursions planned:  a winery for a seminar and tasting, an olive oil provider for an introduction and tasting.  

After a delicious dinner we have a talk or presentation, with creative activities to rekindle your inner kid and open up your creative vision. 

We finish in the evening by 9:00 PM. 

Please keep in mind that you do not have to do everything! 

We support and encourage you to find the level of activity that is right for you.

Trip Introduction 

An all-star, action-packed female adventure starring mothers, daughters, sisters and girlfriends from around the world!  Have you ever dreamed of loping through the desert, moving cattle while on horseback, barrel racing and becoming confident and skilled in these activities?  If so, then Cowgirl Camp could be for you.

You'll be learning and working with the on-site Ranch handlers, but also...this women's retreat will be hosted by Asia Voight, an animal communicator, and Mary Lelle a  Transformational Energetic Healer.   Together, their abilities will allow you to communicate with animals in a deeper sense with a real connection and understanding of the horses.  In other meditations, you will be guided to connect with your sacred animal spirit guides.

Daytime activities include horseback trail rides, guided hikes, nature walks, mountain biking and bird watching.  And, after spending time in the saddle and exploring on foot, you can relax in the on-site hot tub, cool down in the pool or have a massage before dinner. 

Dining is focused around quality food and wine.  Southwestern cuisine, encompassing a blend of Spanish, Mexican, Native American and Southwestern United States ingredients, is served but our host Rancho De La Osa will accommodate any dietary requirements.

What to Expect on this Retreat

Most mornings we will begin with yoga to awaken our senses and limber our bodies before enjoying a made to order breakfast. Then we’ll either enjoy cool morning hikes led by the ranch's trail guides, enjoy leisure time, or work with Asia and Mary in the ranch's corral with horses one-on-one.  After another fully served lunch, our afternoons will be spent horseback riding, approximately two hours in duration, which is suitable for riders of all abilities.  

Throughout the retreat, you will have personal and individualized professional instruction and guidance during all activities. The on-site staff consists of well trained wranglers and ranchers, plus let's not forget that  Asia's home includes four horses: two Paints, a Morgan and a Mini! Asia has been studying Natural Horsemanship, and Connected Riding in the arena and on the trail for eighteen years. 

Riding options are provided for beginners to accomplished riders. 

Late afternoons provide you with leisure time for a swim, or time to rest in your room or enjoy the hot tub, or a scheduled massage.

Evenings are for camaraderie and dining. The ranch hosts a social every evening at 6 pm in the Cantina.  A three course dinner is served every evening at 7 pm.  Afterwards, stay and mingle with other ranchers, or enjoy some light guided meditations with Asia and Mary.

This is your retreat.  A host of activities will be going on all day long.  The sample schedule provided will give you an idea of how our days will be arranged, but you are welcome to skip a ride, or take 2 rides per day.  Swim, go into town, take an entire take to relax with a massage or go out at for a scenic bike ride on the famous Arivaca Trail.

Can I Learn How To Communicate With Animals?

Yes! All living beings are naturally telepathic. As humans, we have been taught to ignore it or pass it off as ‘just our imaginations.’ But, if we listened to our imaginations and followed them, we would be using much more of our natural telepathic abilities. Asia offers classes for beginners and advanced students of animal communication. The classes she teaches create a positive learning environment that guide and support the rediscovery of each person’s gift to connect with animals.  More information on costs and class scheduling can be obtained by contacting Asia by phone or email as given in the Contact Asia section.

Beginning Class, Part 1
"Energy and Breathe Connection" 
Learn how Animal Communication works in an exciting, gentle and step-by-step manner.
This first class is an introduction to the essentials of animal communication. Learn about:

* The telepathic link that you already use to communicate with the animal kingdom and how to increase it.
* How to interpret the different kinds of messages you receive.
* Get to know the deepest desires of your horses, dogs, cats, birds, etc. 
* Basic breathing skills.
* How the breath can spontaneously open the heart leading directly to the soul of your companion. 


Beginning Class, Part 2
"Heart to Heart Connection"
In the second Animal Communication class you will learn how to quiet your mind and focus your attention.
You will learn how to relay messages with greater clarity and detail between your heart center and your beloved
animal companion's heart center and how to interpret those messages. You will have the opportunity to:

* Practice your communication skills
* Enjoy exercises and meditations that open your heart
* Increase your awareness and understanding of animals and your receptivity to telepathic communication.
* Deepen your communion with all of life. 


Beginning Class Part 3, 
"Being One" 
In part 3, you will learn how to become one with your animal companions. You will enjoy this connection as Asia
takes you on a powerful, guided meditation in being ONE with an animal. You will also learn how to hold,
gather and categorize words, pictures and feelings from animals. For this class you will be asked to share a photo
of your animal companions with other students. You will have the opportunity to write about your conversation
with your animal friend and to share this conversation at the next class!

Beginning Class, Part 4,
"Let's Talk"
In the final class we put Parts 1 - 3 of the Animal Communication series into full practice. This is your chance to share
your animal communication skills with others. You will share with the group the conversation that you were asked
to write about the previous week. As each student shares their individual conversations Asia will gently guide
you to fine-tune your skills. Finally, Asia will choose an animal unknown to you to glean your new found abilities!

*Price does not include airfare to Tucson Arizona, spa treatments, or alcoholic beverages.

 We will ride, wrangle, hike, bike and swim while on this retreat, so bring appropriate gear. We recommend long sleeve shirts.  Long pants (jeans are perfect) are a requirement.  A wide selection of riding boots and hats will be  available to use free of charge.
