A private ranch in Southern Oregon.
Eight women and a herd of horses.
Four days of real work that doesn't feel like work.
Here's what I've noticed. You can build a good life and slowly stop feeling it.
The work's going well. People count on you. From the outside it all looks right.
And you wake up already needed, already behind, before your feet hit the floor.
You're not unhappy. You're just tired in a way sleep doesn't touch. And you can't remember the last time you heard yourself think.
I don't think you need another plan. You've got plenty of those.
I think you need to get quiet, around animals who won't let you perform, and do the kind of work that actually moves something.
The work is deep. It just doesn't feel heavy.
"It gets quiet out here.
Quiet enough to hear yourself again."
You built something real. Lately it runs you more than you run it.
From the outside you look like you've got it handled. You're the only one who knows how worn out you are.
You keep promising yourself you'll slow down. The calendar keeps winning.
You miss who you were before everyone needed a piece of you.
You don't need another expert. You need to step out of your life long enough to see it clearly.
You'd like to start next year feeling like yourself again.
The ranch is just the classroom.
The horses are the ones who teach.
Nobody hands you a binder of things to work on. You go home clearer than you've been in a while, and a little surprised by how much shifted in four days. A few real things come with you too.
Not a plan you force. By the end you'll have a clear sense of where you're headed, in your own words, written down before it fades.
The week ends and you head home. Not empty-handed, and not on your own.
For thirty days after, you can reach me directly. Send a voice memo when something comes up, or when you just want to talk it through. I'll answer you myself.
Every woman who's been out here ends up in the same circle. It's not a coaching group. It's the women who've sat around the same fire and get what your life is actually like.
It grows every year. These end up being the people you call when you need someone who understands.
You'll get here Thursday the 22nd by two, and head home Sunday the 25th around the same time. The days are full, but they don't feel rushed. The horses set the pace.
No signal out here.
Just horses, fire, and the women beside you.
Coffee on the porch. No alarm. Nowhere you have to be. You forget mornings can feel like this.
This is the center of the whole thing. The horses respond to what's actually going on in you, not the version you walk in performing. What they show you is the work. I'm right there to help you read it.
One long ride out into real backcountry. Hours in the saddle, no signal, nothing to manage but the trail.
Dinners run long, and so do the conversations. This is where a lot of it lands, around the fire, in your own words.
Every meal cooked for you, all week. Somebody takes care of you for a change.
Time with me, one on one and in the group. I ask the questions that connect what the horses showed you back to your real life.
A private chef cooks every meal, all week. Your room, the horses, the photos, the welcome box on arrival, it's all handled.
You just show up.
Before October, the whole group gets on a call together. You'll meet the other women and ask whatever you need to. So day one feels less like arriving somewhere new and more like coming back.
I've been doing this for eight years.
I've watched a lot of women show up worn down and leave sounding like themselves again. The horses do something a conversation can't. They show you what you've been carrying before you have words for it. My job is to help you see it, and bring it home with you.
I made BUILT WILD because I needed it too. I built my life on grit. I know what it's like to have it all working and still feel like you've lost the thread somewhere.
This isn't a concept for me. It's just how I live now.
— Sausha Davis
Founder, BUILT WILD
I went in considering everyone an internet friend. I left with real friendships. I talk to the women from my room every single day now. I grew personally, in my business, and in community all at once. If you're on the fence, just go. Sausha's retreat changed my whole life.
Most people think of something like this as an expense. It's not. It's an investment in your future, your health, your mental health. It pulls you forward and helps you reach your goals faster. Pushing yourself into a room like this creates life-changing changes in a single weekend.
I've attended more than one of Sausha's retreats, and I'll keep going as long as I'm in business. Each one is fulfilling and fun. She picks a space with breathtaking views and a relaxing environment, and somehow there's always an animal mascot.
Every one is different, so I walk in with an open mind. We work on mindset and business growth while really getting to know each other. I've entered as a stranger to some of the women and left with genuine friendships with women who understand business, life, and bigger goals.
The mindset work realigns me with what success actually looks like to me. I gain confidence in my goals and leave with a plan to hit them. There's a magic about being surrounded by other women who want more out of life.
If you feel stuck in business and life, get out of your comfort zone and go. Bring your best sarcasm and your stretchy pants. You'll need them with all the yummy food.
The four days are the heart of it. Everything else is just there to help it last once you're home.
This one's application only. You apply, we actually talk, and we both decide if it's right for you.
We'll go over the cost and how to pay on that call, once we know it's a fit.
Apply NowIt's only eight women, and who's in the room makes the whole thing. So I pick carefully. The right group makes the week. One wrong fit can change it for everyone.
After you apply, we talk for half an hour. If it's not right for you right now, I'll say so, and point you somewhere that is.
Nobody commits unless it's a yes on both sides.
Eight seats. They go as the right women say yes, so don't sit on it too long.
The next round opens in December. This is the only one this year.
Everything except your flight. Lodging at the ranch for 3 nights. Organic, from-scratch meals all week from a private chef (3 a day plus snacks, dietary needs accommodated). All daily programming with Sausha. Time with the horses. The backcountry trail ride. A luxury welcome box on arrival. Professional photography. A clear sense of what's next, written down before you leave. The group call before October. 30 days of direct voice memo access to Sausha after you go home. Lifetime access to the Return to Wild Alumni Circle. You bring yourself. We bring the rest.
The investment is $2,700 paid in full, all-inclusive. Everything except your flight is covered. Payment plans are available, and a $500 non-refundable deposit reserves your spot. Apply first, and we'll walk through the options together on your call once we both know the room is a fit.
A private ranch in Southern Oregon. Exact location is shared with confirmed attendees only. Closest airport is Rogue Valley International–Medford Airport (MFR). Plan to arrive at the ranch by 2:00 PM on Thursday, October 22, and to leave around 2:00 PM on Sunday, October 25. Once you're accepted, you'll get detailed travel info, ground transport options, and arrival windows.
A small, hand-selected group of women. Most are between 30 and 55. Most run their own businesses or lead teams. All of them have built something real and reached the point where they want less noise and more of themselves back. They're spiritual but not dogmatic, easy to be around, and done with surface-level. The room is intentionally diverse in industry and background but aligned in where they are. You're the only one of you here.
After your application is accepted, we'll have a 30-minute call. If I don't think it's the right fit for you, you're under no obligation and you owe nothing. A $500 non-refundable deposit reserves your spot, because we hold your place with the ranch and the photographer. If something extreme happens (medical, family emergency), we'll work with you to transfer your seat to the next retreat.
Closed-toe boots or sturdy shoes for the horse work. Layers (Southern Oregon in October swings from 40s at sunrise to 70s by midday). A jacket. Comfortable clothes you can move in. A water bottle. Anything personal that matters to you. Once you're accepted, you'll get a full packing list with everything specific. You don't need riding experience. We meet you where you are.
Every meal is cooked on the ranch by a private chef. Organic, made from scratch, mostly local. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and most major allergies can be accommodated. You'll fill out a dietary form after you're accepted so the kitchen has time to plan. If you have something specific or severe, let me know during the call and we'll figure it out.
Applications are reviewed as they come in. Most applicants hear back within 5 business days. If you're a yes, we'll schedule your 30-minute call within 2 weeks. Once both sides confirm, you secure your seat. There are only eight, and they fill as the right women say yes, so apply early. The room gets built one woman at a time.
Four days on a ranch in Oregon. Eight women and a herd of horses.
You'll do real work here.
It just won't feel like it.
