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

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

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………

“ 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!”
