The Fall Restoration
You’ve carried enough for everyone else. This time is for you.
October 3-5th, 2025 Coffee Creek Montana
The Fall Restoration at Restorative Strides
You have held space for everyone else.
You have kept it all together, even when you didn’t want to.
Now it is your turn.
The Fall Restoration weekend retreat is a space to exhale – big and fully.
Over the three immersive days, we will slow down, let go of our burdens and begin the work of restoring what is within us.
Through Equine Gestalt Coaching, quiet reflection and deep connection, we will make space – for breath, for truth and for YOU.
October 3-5th, 2025
Coffee Creek, Montana
You have stayed strong, stayed quiet, and kept moving through loss, change, caretaking, and the invisible weight of being the one everyone counts on.
The Fall Restoration is a 3 day immersive retreat where you are allowed to shed all that you have carried while the staff, Alli and the horses hold space for you to be.
Here, you don’t have to hold it together.
You don’t have to be strong.
You don’t have to perform.
You don’t have to explain.
You don’t have to prove anything.
Instead, you get to breathe.
You get to feel.
You get to be heard.
You get to be seen.
You get to let go.
You will experience Equine Gestalt with a small group of other women (there are only 5 spots). Equine gestalt is rooted in a deeply somatic experience, trauma informed and partners with horses to help you access your deep emotional truths. The body speaks first and the horses are great at reflecting what is hiding beneath the surface. They don’t rush, they don’t judge and they fully see you for who you are.
In this space you will be able to:
- Finally say that thing that you have never said out loud.
- Feel fully what you haven’t allowed yourself to feel.
- Release old stories that have been unconsciously controlling you.
- Be fully YOU, without judgement.
At The Fall Restoration you will experience:
Grounding, restorative time with the horses under the wide open skies of Montana.
Individual Gestalt Coaching in a supportive group setting.
Space for honest reflection, journaling, and rest.
Deep connection with other women who understand.
Time to rest, to integrate, and to restore.
A little art to spark your creativity and express yourself.
The work at The Fall Restoration isn’t about fixing you or your life. It is about allowing your true self to step forward as we honor her.
What you might feel after joining us in Coffee Creek:
- Lighter – like you were able to let down your burdens
- Clearer – more in tune with what is true for you
- Seen – in a way you didn’t know you needed
- Rooted – more connected to your body, voice and inner being
- Restored – not polished, not perfect but more whole.
This retreat is for women who are ready to go deep, not just dabble.
It is for the ones who jump in with both feet.
If that is you and you feel it in your body, then you belong here.

THE RANCH
Restorative Strides is situated amongst the farmland of central Montana. There is big, wide open skies and an abundance of wildlife around. The horses are right out the front door of the shared bunkhouse and there is a little riparian area in the back pasture that is home to many different birds. The bunkhouse has room for 5 people to sleep and is a wide open old granary turned into gathering and sleeping space.
Accommodations
The bunkhouse at Restorative Strides is a step back in time. The Caraveos have turned an 80 year old granary into a space for gathering and healing. The antique touches from the wagon tongue and chicken feeder light fixture to the drainboard sink are all recycled and reused material. The antique theater seats came out of the Judith Theater and are the original seats that were in there when it was built in 1914. There are many other unique antique touches throughout the building. There is a full shower and tub out of an old stock tank with waterfall shower head.
Sleeping:
There are two bunkbeds with a twin over queen and one full bed in the loft.
If you require your own space while here, you are welcome to book a room at the Dent Inn in Denton (8 miles away), the Sundown Motel in Stanford (20 miles) or Lewistown has multiple options (50 miles)
We also welcome RVs or tents if that is more your style.
Transportation
Great Falls is the closest airport to Restorative Strides if you are flying. It is only 90 minutes away.
If you want to fly into Billings, Great Falls or Helena, they are all 3 hours from Coffee Creek.
Otherwise, it is a nice drive to Coffee Creek, the views are stunning and full of wildlife.
Immerse yourself in the stunning, quiet beauty of this healing place and enjoy an unforgettable experience in the middle of Montana!

Since gestalt is a practice in presence and following the flow of energy, there will not be a set time for an itinerary. We will have set meal times and the rest of our time spent together will be following the flow of energy and what the group needs. These retreats are very individualized.

Alli Caraveo is a graduate of the Touched by a Horse® Equine Gestalt Coaching Certification Program and in her final stages of Gestalt Coaching Method® certification to become a Master Gestaltist
Alli Caraveo
ABOUT ALLI
Horses have always been present in Alli’s life, holding space for her as she walked through life changes, abusive relationships, loss of her father to drugs and eventually suicide, as well as the bumps and bruises that come from living. Horses have never told her to be less than or more than she was in the moment. So when she came across the Touched by a Horse™ program, she knew she had found her calling. Horses had seen into her soul and helped her to look deeper within herself. Alli is honored to partner with rescue horses as they help humans set down their pain to be carried away by the wind on their path to wholeness.
Alli enjoys working with women of all ages that have walked through deep disappointments. When a disappointment has rocked a woman to her core and knocked her off course, it can be hard to find the way back. She could be living in a shell but look like everything is ok. She could be raising kids or going through the motions but has never actually slowed down to ask herself what her favorite color actually is. Perhaps, that dream of landing that job never came to fruition because life got in the way. These disappointments color a woman’s view of herself and her life. As you step into a session with Alli and her horses, you will be able to let down the walls and explore what your soul truly craves.
