Hochoka Retreat Center offers a place of education and respite for wellness, stress management, trauma recovery and other life changing programs. We have been operating with our lead program healingwithhorses for over 20 years. It is not a horse riding program. One does not even have to be near a horse for the transformation to occur. We have new goals for the farm to include a tiny house living model project; to help people learn how to have a home, live simply, without a huge tethered to mortgage. Another new aspect of our farm is to develop with our curriculum based programs, an outdoor school. We also would like to begin again to facilitate our programs as elective course work to be utilized within Universities within the master's programs for those studying to be therapist or social workers. We want to market home school associations and other alternative learning models for marketing our outdoor learning modules. We also want to place our curriculum onto our website.
