Our very first Pause with the Herd retreat!
On Friday, we welcomed a wonderful group of women to River Oaks Farm for our first half-day wellbeing retreat.
A chance to step away from the busyness of everyday life, slow down, reconnect with nature and just be for a little while.
Our horses helped us explore how we can regulate our own nervous systems by first learning to recognise and support theirs. Through breath, energy, gentle touch and movement, we explored how our own state can influence the animals around us, and how they can help us find a little more calm.
We took time to reflect on what we need to feel grounded, connected and balanced in our busy lives.
And we finished with a delicious lunch beside the river, thanks to the lovely The Little Barn Cafe.
And the feedback has made our day!
🐴 “Spending time with the horses was very special and meeting other like-minded women was nice. Overall a very lovely morning.”
🌿 “Peaceful time with the horses was helpful in slowing the pace and disconnecting from the daily stresses.”
Which is exactly what we hoped Pause with the Herd would be about. Creating a little space in our busy lives to reconnect with ourselves, each other and the animals.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made our first retreat so special.
Watch this space for our next Pause with the Herd event!
