Retreat Experience Pillars

~ Mindfulness meditation with horses

During the course, we will be practising simple yet profound techniques on how to show up open, authentic and without an agenda so we become one with the herd.

~ Horse wisdom principles

To become a valued member of the herd, we need to understand the horse's mind and learn to experience the world like they do. As we build trust and a relationship with the herd, it affects how we relate to ourselves.

~ How to facilitate powerful releases

We can add value to the herd's well-being by assisting in the release of tension. We will learn how horses help each other release tension and get hands-on with the horses in ways that achieves this.

~ Horse communication

As we Re- Member it opens up the possibility of communicating with them in new and profound ways. We explore the realm of animal communication and practice several techniques.

~ Embodying the horses’ way

This immersion will help you connect better with yourself and the natural world. The herd changes lives, and a deep dive in their medicine will be transformative.

Learning and practising connecting and working with horses in deep and profound ways is transformative.

This ancient partnership built on trust, respect and energy exchange is not lost and is right there waiting to be rediscovered for those who are ready for it.
