PAST HOOF & PAW RETREAT REVIEWS

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"Attending the Hoof and Paw retreat was more than I could have hoped for. Being my first retreat, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness going in, but from the moment I walked through the doors, I felt completely at ease. The setting was peaceful, and the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming—it instantly felt like a safe space to unwind and be myself. The meditation sessions were transformative. They led me to a level of calm and clarity I hadn’t experienced before, and I feel like I’ve discovered a new part of myself, maybe even a new calling. The food deserves a special mention. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared and tasted amazing. Including the homemade cakes and unlimited hot drinks and water. This retreat has left me feeling recharged and grateful. If you’re looking for a place to reconnect and find peace, I can’t recommend Madeline enough. Thank you for such a beautiful experience!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“A True Sense of Belonging. What I’ll remember most about the Hoof and Paw retreat is the deep comfort and sense of belonging I felt. From the moment I arrived, everything—from the setting and the warm atmosphere to the people and experiences—made me feel like I was exactly where I was meant to be. It’s rare to find a place where you can truly unwind and feel understood, but Madeline created that kind of space for me. I left feeling refreshed, connected, and grateful. For anyone seeking peace, healing, and a real sense of community, this retreat is a gift.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"That everything was so caringly and lovingly curated for us. Loved the open fire and our circle. Loved the meditation (would have liked a bit more). Lunch together around the table was special. The SPACE in our itinerary, lack of pressure (l learned the most from this. The luxury of quality time, less is more).“

What will you remember about the retreat? 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"How different it was from any other retreat I’ve been on. The coziness, magic and support"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"A memory that stands out in my head is all of us sitting at the table in our witches hats. I felt like I was eating in the great hall at Hogwarts!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"The whole experience was wonderful. Relaxing, inclusive and welcoming"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"As a naturally introverted person, attending these types of events alone always brings a bit of anxiety with them. The way Maddy structured the day and also the pre-event communications and conversations made me feel like I was walking into a room with loads of friends."
