Prince Albert National Park, Canada
Soul & Saddle Cowgirls Retreat
August 14-16, 2026
A Women’s 3-Day Deep Healing & Horseback Retreat
sisterhood, ceremony, magic & nature
Soul & Saddle is not just a retreat—it’s a rite of passage.
Held in the quiet stillness of the boreal forest, this experience is for the woman who feels the call to go deeper. Deeper into her healing. Deeper into her truth. Deeper into the parts of herself that are ready to be seen, felt, and released.
This retreat invites you to step away from the noise of everyday life and into a sacred, held container where profound transformation can unfold. On secluded national park land, supported by the wisdom of horses, the medicine of the land, and intentional sisterhood, you’ll be guided through a journey of remembrance, back to your body, your heart, and your soul.
Soul & Saddle includes deep ceremonial healing work, conscious mushroom ceremony, and trauma-informed integration designed to support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and lasting change. This is paired with daily yoga, meditation, somatic practices, and powerful connection with horses, who serve as mirrors, teachers, and grounding allies throughout the process.
This is not about escaping your life.
It’s about meeting yourself honestly, gently, and courageously, so you can return home clearer, lighter, and more aligned.
Soul & Saddle is for the woman who is ready to:
Release what she’s been carrying for too long
Reconnect with her inner wisdom and intuition
Heal in a safe, intentional, and deeply supported way
Experience sisterhood that feels real, grounded, and nourishing
You’ll leave feeling rooted, open-hearted, and profoundly changed, with tools, insights, and embodied clarity that stay with you long after the retreat ends.
When was the last time you let go of responsibilities and indulged in a weekend that nourishes your soul? Join us in the captivating wilderness of northern Canada. Experience the rustic charm of our cozy retreat, surrounded by untamed beauty.
Enjoy daily horseback riding—no experience necessary! We’ll kick off the retreat with lessons and have expert guides by your side. Participate in yoga, breath work, and meditation classes with Tymeka, enhanced by her shamanic healing touch. Make new friends, savor a delicious food, gather around campfires, and relish the peace that nature brings.
The best part? You don’t have to lift a finger! Everything is taken care of, no setup, cleaning, cooking, or planning. Just sit back, relax, and receive. This retreat is the perfect blend of adventure, healing, rejuvenation, and fun. You’ll leave feeling lighter, with an open heart and a full soul. This is sure to be the highlight of your summer!

Highlights from This Year’s Retreat—Don’t Miss Out on the Fun, Healing, and Rejuvenation for Mind, Body, and Soul!
During my healing journey, I learned that you need 2 very important things in your healing journey:
one…
The importance of connecting with other women. It has been proven these relationships are more vital to our well-being than our romantic ones.
two…
How imperative your environment truly is in your healing journey. This way you can be free of other influences, distractions, and responsibilities so you can be FULLY invested in yourself. When was the last time you did that for yourself?
I went all out, so you could go all in. After your soulful Cowgirl experience, you will feel rejuvenated, at peace, grateful, and unstoppable. There is nothing more healing than being completely disconnected in nature so you can deeply reconnect to yourself. This retreat is the perfect balance of adventure, sisterhood, healing, and rejuvenation.

“My time at the soulful retreat was nothing short of transformative. Surrounded by a group of incredible women, each on her own journey of healing and self-discovery, I felt truly seen and supported. From the serene setting of the retreat location, to the nurturing guidance of Tymeka, every moment was infused with love and wisdom. I emerged from this experience with many life long friendships and a better understanding of myself. I also loved learning new ways to start healing. To anyone seeking a retreat truly for your soul, I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat.”

“It was one of the best experiences of my life that I will treasure forever. The most meaningful aspect was becoming more in tune with my body, listening, diving deep down and being open to what the universe wants me to know. I learnt at this retreat how to be kind to myself, to be more open to receiving, to trust in the unknown. Tymeka was so thoughtful, the whole experience was beautiful and was more than I could have dreamed of. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it.”

“Tymeka’s retreats are so powerful and such a beautiful experience, this was my second time attending. I loved the womb wisdom workshop and the Temezcal! I just loved the energy and emotional release & healing the Temezcal provides. The womb wisdom I felt I could talk about all day as I’m currently on a journey of reconnecting with my womb and feminine parts. So it hit home for me. My key takeaways were the power of intention & how healthy female connections are so powerful. Everything is carefully and planned with such pure intention. It really shows in the week when we are there experiencing it!”

"This retreat changed my life. Tymeka opened up a world for my self growth and self healing. Tymeka introduced us to many little appetizers of different ways to grow and heal and then depending on what resonated with us individually we could decide what we wanted to pursue further. Tymeka showed me that self growth is beautiful and exciting. I was so inspired during the retreat and have continue to be at home as well."

"I was initially hesitant about attending a retreat alone, in a new country, with unfamiliar faces. However, overcoming my fears and taking the leap turned out to be life-changing. Tymeka ensured everything ran seamlessly, allowing me to fully relax, and the women she gathers are truly remarkable. I forged lifelong friendships and found the rest I needed to break old habits. This retreat provided invaluable self-discovery, empowered me to embrace my feminine strength, and facilitated the release of burdens that had kept me stuck. I cannot recommend Tymeka's retreats highly enough!"

"My favorite part of the retreat was the temazcal, it was AMAZING. It felt like a very authentic cultural experience. I loved having the young girl in the space with us. It was very special and felt like we were all in their healing our younger selves. So beautiful. My key takeaways was my goodness the food!! How big of a difference having such nourishment provided was massively impactful. I am taking my nutrition so much more seriously now. Also loved the ice baths with the combination of breath work."

If you're traveling from out of town or abroad to join us for the retreat, you have two convenient options for arrival. You can fly into Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (YXE), or Prince Albert (YPA). Please note, Tymeka will be traveling from Saskatoon.
The journey from Saskatoon to Sturgeon River takes approximately 2.5-3 hours by car, while it's a 90-minute drive from Prince Albert Airport. To ensure timely arrival at the ranch, we recommend scheduling your flight to arrive no later than August 7th, as we need to gather at the ranch by 9:30 am CST.
For those flying into Saskatoon, Tymeka will do her best to coordinate carpooling arrangements for a fee of $40 CAD round trip. Additionally, we encourage participants with vehicles to consider offering rides to fellow attendees. Further details, including the designated meetup location, will be communicated closer to the event date.
-
No prior experience with horses or riding is required. Our team of professional guides will assist with every aspect, from setting up saddles to providing a pre-trip demonstration. They'll accompany us throughout the journey, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and supported. Additionally, a horse-drawn wagon will be available for anyone needing a break at any time.
-
When you register for the retreat, your welcome email will include a comprehensive packing list detailing everything you should bring, including recommended outfits. Tents will already be set up for us and chairs will also be provided. You just need to bring a sleeping bag, blanket sleeping pads or air mattresses, and pillows.
If you don't have a sleeping bag, or air mattress, there's no need to worry. Tymeka has a surplus of these items, and we anticipate that other attendees may also have extras. We'll coordinate tent buddies and equipment distribution, so please inform Tymeka of your needs when you sign up.
In the event that you require camping gear, Sturgeon River Ranch offers rentals for a nominal fee of approximately $30. Additionally, if you prefer, Tymeka suggests the option of sleeping in a hammock as an alternative to a tent and sleeping bag.
-
The typical temperature in northern Prince Albert in August ranges from a daytime high of 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) to a nighttime low of 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). Based on personal experience camping in the area around the same time last year, mornings tend to be cool enough to require a hoodie and pants, while afternoons may warm up enough for shorts and a tank top. As evening sets in, temperatures drop again, often necessitating a sweat suit or additional layers for comfort.
-
You have three convenient payment options available:
1. Pay the full amount upfront to benefit from the maximum cost savings.
2. Opt for a split payment plan, paying half of the total now and the remaining balance two months later or before July 1st.
3. Choose a monthly payment plan for added flexibility.
Please ensure that the trip is fully paid for at least 14 days prior to the start date. If you have any further questions regarding payment options, feel free to reach out to Tymeka via email at tymekazimmerman@outlook.com
