Unarmoured: A Women’s Retreat

This day invites you to explore what becomes possible when you live from an open heart rather than an armoured one.

Janis shares insight into how listening to your heart — rather than protecting it — can transform your relationships, deepen self-awareness, and help you step into a more grounded, confident, and heart-led way of being. 

This immersive workshop is an invitation to welcome more of what you truly want in your life — in your work, relationships, finances, and at a soul level. Through connection with the horses, the land, and each other, you’ll rediscover your inner feminine wisdom, speak from your heart, and trust in its ability to guide and protect you.

Meet Janis

Janis taught Cheri the practice of Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning (FEEL®) and continues to be her mentor. Together, Janis and Cheri weave wisdom from the horses, the land, and the heart, guiding participants to discover that true power isn’t something you earn or perform, it’s something you remember.

Janis Mirynech has been partnering with horses since 2009, both as a facilitator and FEEL Trainer.  She loves that this work not only helps humans but horses as well. Being witness to how the both evolve and grow in their wisdom through this work is truly magical.

Her interest in shamanism, or ‘earth-based teachings’ began when Janis was in her mid-twenties.  A corporate career and family meant that shamanism remained an interest until 2013.  Since then, Janis has been committed to shamanic studies

and walks the teachings out to others as a Shamanic Womb Coach as well as guiding ceremonies for women and leading a women’s circle. 

"I love braiding the power of shamanism and horse wisdom together and holding space for feminine empowerment." - Janis Mirynech

Welcome, Opening Circle and Meet the Herd Ground into the day’s energy with a land acknowledgement, introductions, and heart awareness. Begin with a Meet the Herd activity to connect with the horses.

Shamanic Teaching: Open Heart – Armoured Heart Explore the difference between living with an open heart and protecting yourself through armour, and how this shapes your relationships and leadership.

FEEL Activity in the Field Engage with the herd in a guided experience, reflecting on the morning’s teaching through observation, interaction, and shared insight.

Local Catered Lunch & Integration Time Enjoy a delicious locally catered lunch with space to rest, reflect, journal, or simply be present with the land and horses.

Shamanic Drum Journey Be guided into a relaxed, meditative state through rhythmic drumming. This journey invites your subconscious and intuition to surface, adding to the insights from the morning.

Womb Reflecting: What Living from an Open Heart Means to You Participate in a guided circle using the ancient practice of womb reflecting. Give voice to your inner knowing and contribute to a collective poem that captures the shared wisdom of the group.

Integration Circle & Closing We’ll close the circle with reflections, followed by time for photos and farewells, honouring the connections made and the journey into heart-led living.
