Let the wildness of Patagonia guide you back to the wildness within yourself.
A Sanctuary of the Soul
Within the sanctuary of the wild nature of Patagonia, we encounter, remember and clear the pathways that lead us to the sanctuary of our inner nature.
On this ten day journey, you’ll be offered guidance and space to rediscover and befriend the nature that governs the movement of your soul. In collaboration with the ecosystems, a herd of horses and two wholehearted guides, this experience is crafted to assist you in the integration of the tamed and untamed aspects of your whole self, for graceful harmony with your familiar life.
From the foundation of our collective heart, we will weave together the threads of our inner nature with the wild nature of this place, creating a strong fabric to support resilience and harmony in your life.
Experience the wholeness of the land, the herd and yourself.

A space for inner and outer exploration
Within the embrace of the raw elements of Patagonia, we will journey together deep within ourselves to re-integrate our inner nature with outer expression. Here, the outer landscape is primed for such exploration of our inner landscapes, as the elements always guide the paths we choose and the way we travel.
The mountains lining the horizon sit as sages in their steady presence; the horses and animals inhabiting these lands will support our arrival and way-finding in both inner and outer landscapes. The glaciers offer us a portal through which to connect to deep time; and the forests, with their vibrant biodiversity, remind us this life is a grand collaboration.
The way the weather dances in its ever-changing essence mirrors the ever-changing quality of life; and the wind that shapes the land breathes with us as we finally put down and release what is no longer necessary, unburdening our hearts.
This is an immersive experience through a living, breathing location that mirrors our inner nature - alive with connection that eternally extending the invitation to soften, soften … soften within relationship.
How will this experience nurture your life?
This experience has been crafted with a heart-focus on wholeness. This is a journey that will support our personal and collective resilience as we venture inward together.
We will gather three times virtually prior to our in-person gathering in Patagonia, and there will be a final post-journey integration call after everyone has ventured back to their homelands. We understand and respect how vital a well-nurtured and well-tended container is for the work we are inviting in.
The timeless and wild essence of Patagonia creates a rich and nurturing environment for self exploration, discovery and resourcing. It is a place that calls forth all that is authentic and real to the surface - without judgement or criticism. This experience will open paths to the unique resources within each of us that support our wholeness regardless of our life circumstance and outer environment. These are our natural resources, and this experience will nurture your deep connection with them.
Patagonia is also a deeply communal land; horses are social beings, as are humans - so while we will work deeply in the realms of self, we will be nurturing the broader connective tissue of the earth body that innately bonds and connects us all to one another.
The practices, tools, and intentional crafting of this journey work at every level of consciousness. We shall dance with the environmental elements to dissolve the mind’s habit of controlling and micromanaging.
There is no limit to what we can address, discuss and guide you to regenerate in your lifestream in the midst of this generative landscape.
Why Patagonia?
In Patagonia, life is still guided by the rhythm of the Earth. This is the rhythm of the Horse. This is also the rhythm of the Soul.
The weather, the land, the culture, all beckon us to slow down in tangible and intangible ways. There is a saying here, “he who hurries wastes his time” - and this is the essence of the energy that flows here. This saying rings true for all aspects of self-exploration and healing work.
When our bodies arrive in this place, the land begins its work on us; it is a rich and vibrant land for recovering inner resources. When we open ourselves to be guided by the natural rhythm of Patagonia, we are forever changed.
Tending to the resilience within.
Through the recovery of our inner resources of resilience, we reconnect with a grounded sense of wholeness and possibility.
From within this centering of wholeness, we reconnect with the harmony of nature.

Experience flow
As with all aspects of life here in Patagonia, this experience will be intuitively guided in a manner that is responsive to the context of what arrives each day. As we relate with one another, the horses, and the land, we will co-create a holistic, naturally emergent experience.
Here we offer a glimpse of the flow we’ve intuited thus far.

Our commitment to reciprocal exchange
We have crafted this experience with care and intention that all financial resources are directed in a manner that tends to the wellbeing of the whole - the ecosystem, the horses, our community and our families. In all areas of this experience we have prioritized partners that share the vision that these experiences nurture the resilience within personal and planetary dimensions.
During our group’s virtual gatherings in November, we will share more about the partners and collaborators who will be supporting and supported by this experience.
Facilitated by nature
Your facilitators for this journey are themselves being guided by their relationships with nature, the herd, their intuitive Creator consciousness and the collective co-creation. They offer their service from the depths of their hearts and their commitment to walk the earth in harmony with their own being.
Meet your facilitators below…
Why Horses?
Throughout this experience, we will collaborate with the CuraKuda and Fundo Panguilemu herd of 18 Patagonian Criollos who live and relate naturally with one another and the land within Fundo Panguilemu.
When we engage with horses at any level, we include ourselves in the field of pure-hearted awareness. Throughout our time together, we will periodically gather and walk with the herd, attuning to their presence and relating with them and the ecosystems they inhabit.
Like benevolent soul friends, their presence can give us a space to recognize our true heart. It’s not horse-assisted therapy, it is more simple than that, even though deep insights often arise.
The horses never ask you to be something other than what you are - when you allow yourself to show up as you are, your innate intuitive creativity and intellect may begin to effortlessly guide you to know more of yourself than ever before.
Horses demonstrate this way of being, and humanity is finding perpetually more astute and creative ways to notice and adapt our awareness in kind. Horses have never had the opportunity to forget who they are. This is one of the greatest differences between animal consciousness and human consciousness.

Who Is Kerri Lake?
“I assist people to know their presence, to experience themselves as loved, loving and lovable.”
Kerri was aware of her awareness in infancy. Knowing the absence of doubt, and guided by her relationships with animals and nature, she lives deliberately, assisting humanity to see and choose kindness and harmony in relationships.
Her primary vehicle for awakening and personal evolution in this life has been relationships - with family, with animals, with partners, with Creator Consciousness and within herself.
She has experienced several near-death and expanded-consciousness events, each of which reminded her of the dynamic power of living from the heart, for the heart. Without dependence on a modality or system, Kerri has blazed a new trail on the road to freedom from limitations and conditioning. On this trail, all species are welcome and integrate through frequencies of communication.
Kerri is masterful in many ways. Her early awareness included a natural ability to communicate with animals and all of life in subtle realms of consciousness, through energy and presence.
With wisdom, guidance and communication from many teachers (human and non-human), she assists to help you recognize your capacity to experience connection and communication through presence, through the heart.
Who Is Greta Matos?
“The earth is always beckoning us back to her embrace. There is a poem of love writing itself around your being with every breath you take- but its language is spoken through nature, so in order to receive it, you must answer the call.”
Greta is deeply committed to a life of intentional relationship with Earth, Horse and Soul. With her family and herd, she composes a life in the heart of Patagonia, where she is devoted to ecosystem restoration and old growth forest protection.
Within her organization CuraKuda, she nurtures spaces where the wild essence of the horse, human and earth can encounter their shared language. Working mostly with herds at liberty, she brings individuals and groups out into the field where we deepen our natural capacity to flow and evolve authentically with all that exists within the unknown.
Greta’s approach integrates a lifetime of learning and relating from horses and our earth body, and weaves together tools, techniques and approaches that have been gathered and cultivated from a diverse range of teachers.
In all aspects of her work, from the field to the boardroom, she nurtures the inner transformation of individuals and collectives as they embody a more responsive, creative, and collaborative relationship with Earth, ancestors, one another and future generations.
She is a writer, a mother, a soul friend and a dedicated spirit.
