About

Discover the transformative power of mindfulness in the presence of majestic horses at Rancho Paraíso de Sorrento. Nestled in the heart of Central Florida, our boutique horse ranch offers immersive "Mindfulness with Horses" personal half and full-day wellness retreats plus individual sessions. Through equine-guided mindfulness sessions, meditation, wellbeing activities, and unique equine experiences, we provide a sacred space for individuals to manage stress, reduce anxiety, cope with grief, and cultivate mental resilience.

At Rancho Paraíso de Sorrento, we believe in the profound connection between mindfulness and horses. Horses have long been recognized as powerful healers and are increasingly utilized in therapeutic settings. Our focus lies in equine-assisted wellness programs, including Equine Assisted Mindfulness and Mindfulness-based Mental Strength Training, fostering personal growth and healing by building trust and connection with these gentle giants.

Led by Laura Innis, an experienced mindfulness practitioner, our retreats are designed to integrate the wisdom of horses into mindfulness practices. Laura's deep understanding of mindfulness, supported by her extensive training and scientific background, enables her to guide individuals to reduce depression and alleviate anxiety. With her expertise, you can embark on a journey towards improved mental and emotional well-being and strength, incorporating holistic techniques alongside mindfulness- all with the help of horses!

Experience the unique energy of our rare breed English Shire draft horses, known as gentle giants and ideal companions for Equine Assisted Mindfulness Therapy. These calm and cool horses reflect the emotions of those around them, serving as mirrors for self-discovery.

Nestled within Rancho Paraíso de Sorrento is a Mediterranean-inspired villa blending the charm of Old-Floridian ranch aesthetics with elements from Spain, Ibiza, Copenhagen, and Florida. It serves as a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation, providing the perfect backdrop for our Equine-Assisted Mindfulness retreats. Immerse yourself in 90 minute individual sessions, or choose a group retreat (half-day, full-day, or multi-day), or even a corporate retreat! Embrace the tranquil environment and the healing presence of our horses.
