What if belonging is not
something we find,
but something we remember?
For much of human history, belonging was a lived relationship renewed through story, ritual, shared meals, seasonal rhythms and gratitude. Ecology of Belonging is an intimate four-day gathering devoted to remembering that relationship within ourselves, one another, and with the entire living world.
AT THE HEART OF TRIDENTATA
Belonging with the Herd
The horses hold the outer circle.
Each morning, we enter their world with reverence. We notice the subtle exchanges already taking place: distance, movement, attention, the choice to come closer or remain apart.
As we slow down, we can sense what is happening within us, notice what the horses choose, and respond from there.

The Rhythm of the Days
The structure of Ecology of Belonging is held lightly. Each morning and evening holds time with the herd and integrative practices, with long intervals left open for experience to deepen in its own way.
MORNING
Sunrise gathering, breakfast and intentional time with the herd.
AFTERNOON
Open space for rest, solitude and time for individual treatments & sessions booked in advance.
EVENING
A shared meal and intentional gathering beneath the stars and New Moon.
THE SANCTUARY
Being alone,
together.
Belonging does not require continuous participation, disclosure, or togetherness. You may retreat into solitude while remaining held by the land, the herd, the host, and the quiet presence of the other participants.
Reserve your Place
The casita is not separate from the experience of Tridentata. It is the place where the body can settle, where there is room to rest and digest, and where what has been received can begin to integrate.
A private queen bedroom in the casita with its own en suite bathroom. The space has a view out to the horse sanctuary.
Shared with another retreat guest, this spacious room has two twin Avocado beds and an adjoining bathroom just outside the door.
A spacious private queen suite in the main house with an adjoining full bathroom. Main home shared with Peggy & her two dogs.
YOUR GUIDE
Peggy O’Kelly
Founder and Steward of Tridentata & Congruence Tucson
Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner
Certified MMTCP Mindfulness Teacher
Ecology of Belonging is hosted and guided by Peggy O’Kelly. After a brain injury altered the course and rhythm of her life—followed by years of transition and relocation—Peggy came to the Tucson Mountains and founded Congruence Tucson, a sanctuary for healing after brain injury.
Tridentata grew from the same lived understanding: that healing and belonging are shaped not only by what we do, but by the environments and relationships that hold us. Peggy offers a grounded, attentive presence, gentle guidance, and room for each woman’s experience to unfold in its own way.
AN INVITATION TO FOUR WOMEN
If this
calls to you.
This retreat is for women who long to slow down and listen more deeply, and return to a felt sense of belonging.
It is for those who are not seeking another way to improve themselves, but space to become present to what is already here ~ to inhabit their lives more fully, to be met without having to perform, and to discover what becomes possible when what has been carried alone is held in relationship.
It is also for those women who want to shift or deepen their relationship with horses through presence and authentic connection.
Together, we listen to the body, the horses, the land, and one another — not as separate sources of wisdom, but as expressions of the one living system that we are.
Stillness is not
the absence of …
It is the place within us that can remain present while life moves. A pause spacious enough to notice the body, listen beneath urgency, and allow what is here to belong before deciding what comes next.
The Next Step
