Grounding with the Herd
Apr
7

Grounding with the Herd

Are you feeling unsettled during these times of constant news whiplash and the geopolitics of the moment?

Do you also feel ungrounded and anxious?

Would you like a reprieve from this, even for a couple of hours?

Come out to the farm and spend some time in communion with our herd of horses and with other like “feeling” people.

We will start with some guided grounding and breath work before we head out to the herd. Once in the herd you will have some time to meet them and have quiet reflections.

We will then guide you through a meditation in the herd accompanied by the soft sounds of a drum.

Following this you can warm up in our barn lounge and enjoy some warm beverages, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate

Please dress for the weather as we will be outdoors. Please bring a chair for the meditation and you may also want to bring a blanket.

There is no charge for this but Donations to our Mini on the Move program where we bring minis to long term care and hospice are always appreciated

Limited to 8 people but if we get enough demand we will run it again on another date

Testimonial

My personal experience with participating in Kathy’s grief workshop was really great. Working with her and the horses along with the others in our group was powerful and moving for me in many ways. I appreciate the feeling of being present and grounded with The Horses, expressing my emotions, feeling accepted, understood while they shared space in the moment

Joy M

Each session builds upon the next as we flow gently through the river of grief guided by horses

Grief It never ends but it changes, it is passage not a place to stay.

Grief is not a sign of weakness , not a lack of faith

It is the price of love.

Horses hold beautiful space without judgement. They also know how to grieve, with reverence and ceremony, so are beautiful supporters.

You will experience a safe and sacred space to be comfortable and share.

The honouring of your loss will be done with ceremony and grace

$375 for all 4 sessions including all materials.

Women ReWilding Guided by Horses- One Day Retreat
Oct
5

Women ReWilding Guided by Horses- One Day Retreat

Guided by embodied and spirit horses immerse your senses in nature

Move your body as the seasons move into the abundance of fall, the harvest, the cooler air and gather around the fire.

To make room for abundance we need to release that which does not serve us

You start with the horses. They don’t judge and they don’t lie. They are reflections of your inner self and help you release what does not serve you, the stuff that sits in your body that you feed with your mind. Let go of that and fill yourself instead with the abundance of fall.

Activities for the day will move around the horses, starting in the morning with a Sound bath and Restorative yoga practice surrounded by horses.

You then move into other engagements with horses and nature throughout the day and end the day with a drumming journey surrounded by horses and a ceremony/ sharing circle around the fire.

Snacks, a delicious warm catered lunch, a beautiful journal and all other materials included.

You just need to come with horse appropriate footwear and of course dress for the weather

I envision ponchos, scarves, blankets, cozy hoodies and warm socks………

Do you feel STUCK or are you a little lost?

Are you a woman that wants to make a transformation but are not sure where to start?

Are you a woman who has a “gut feeling” or a “heart sense” that something needs to change, but you are not sure what?

We can help you!

Horses don’t judge and they don’t lie. They live in their bodies and “Feel” you! They are beautiful reflective mirrors to your body knowing and intuition. They help you attune to your body. release emotions, and find your authentic self. Your authentic self is where the knowing is. It lives in your body not in your mind.

The workshop is a combination of group and one on one activities with our horses in a beautiful natural setting over looking the Rideau River. We create a safe container of sacred space in the company of other like minded women facilitated by us. There is also quiet time for reflection and to explore creativity.

Workshop runs from 9:00-4:00 PM snacks, all materials, and a catered lunch are provided.

(Please note this is not a riding activity but rather activities on the ground in the presence of horses.)

I learned so much about myself and my journey by participating . The other women were amazing and so honest, yourself included. It was an honour to witness some epiphanies. And the horses were incredible, so honest and empathetic. This is an experience I would recommend to any women of any age who are in transition. So beautiful.

Renée Taylor”

“Attending the women in transition workshop was super impactful in helping me define clearer goals and working through perceived boundaries to those goals. The environment was safe and welcoming and fostered a real sense of togetherness and community. The work done with our horse partners was incredible and really demonstrated the power of living in the now. Cannot wait for another offering!”
