OCEAN HORSE MAGIC
A WOMEN’S RETREAT IN ST LUCIA
FEBRUARY 3-10, 2019
Join horse lover and photographer Manuela Stefan on a replenishing experience of connecting with Source energy with the help of horses and nature.
You will have the opportunity to live extraordinary moments shoulder-to-shoulder with beautiful island horses, meditate by the ocean, take cleansing walks, while letting go of all undesirable inner obstacles and letting love in.
“Oh, where do I begin! The Ocean Horse Magic retreat St Lucia was the most wonderful vacation I have ever taken! This all thanks to Manuela and her extensive planning and care of the entire experience. Starting off, I love horses and have been around them all my life but had a bad fall a few years ago and needed to get past my trauma as it was. Manuela assured me that the retreat would help me through this and she was so correct! The care she put into us before, during and after the retreat was top notch.
From the location we stayed at to the stables and all of our meals, the days were amazing! It was my first time in the ocean with a horse and Manuela really made my dreams come true. I am so blessed to have met her, to have this experience and I will attend another horsey retreat with her!” (Teena T)”

“After participating in Manuela’s very first retreat in Mexico, I did not hesitate to book her second retreat on the beautiful island of St Lucia. Manuela told me it was going to be special, so I was already expecting a lot, but she still managed to blow my mind.
Very nicely put together, a good balance between horsey days and relaxing days, every day exceeding the previous one. She kept every activity a secret which I liked because it made me feel as if I was getting a present each day.
The name of the retreat couldn’t describe it better: we were in the ocean with the horses and it felt like magic!
This retreat heals you, it energizes you, it refreshes you! Whatever your soul and body are needing, you’ll receive from and experience with Manuela. Being around her positive and vibrant spirit and sharing that energy with and around horses, definitely has an impact on you. “(Julie H)
