Make A Horse Connection
Connecting with a horse can feel like no other social exchange . . . It involves a number of soft and social skills that serve to create an environment in which both parties feel safe. As prey animals, horses are highly attuned to even the most subtle of cues in the environment. Imagine the opportunity to show up authentically (clear and congruent), with an open mind (as opposed to an "agenda"), listening (by being present and aware (in order to read the horse's body language) and building mutual respect by establishing your own boundaries and respecting theirs as well.
Willing partners! Horses are wired for collaboration with others (safety in numbers!) Come have a feel for yourself . . .

Meadow-Tation
Ever notice how horses appear to be peaced-out? Consider spending some time amongst them, and tapping into their ways. Horses are grounded, living in-the-present moment, with a non-judgmental acceptance of events and situations around them,. Connecting with horses, especially during meditation, can allow us to imaginatively embody them . . .experiencing the world around us through their eyes and by means of their senses, their hearts, and their spirits. If we can retain and recall even of touch of this we're better able to handle the trials and turbulence of life. And it's fun! Most participants report feelings of ease and wellness after just a few minutes in a horse's presence. Private Meadow-tation visit from $40. (Come on your own or bring a friend or group).
