Why Horses? Horses have an awe inspiring presence and an ability to touch the hearts of those who are open to the inner journey. They are typically non-judgmental and have no expectations or motives. Horses can often reveal things about us that we are not consciously aware of. Cultivating a relationship with such a beautiful, powerful animal will allow you to tap into your feelings, behaviours and a sense of possibilities. Empirical research has found that human...

Be all that you can be!

Do low self worth and feelings of anxiety impact on your day to day enjoyment of life?
Do you feel restricted by negative thoughts about your self and your abilities?
Do you feel powerless to say what you want, do what you want, achieve what you want?

The Women under a Blue Moon weekend retreat will present you with tools to take back the power and take charge of your life.

This weekend retreat has the potential to change your life as you explore different techniques to still your mind, tame your negative self-talk, and tap into your creative and beautiful self. Embrace the Challenge, Embrace the Process, Embrace your Inner Power.

Blue Moons are known for their strong energy and are an ideal time for setting goals and changing habitual behaviours. Ideally we would like to offer our retreats literally under the Blue Moon but this is not always possible. Blue Moons (that is, two full moons in the one month) do not necessarily happen every year - hence the saying ‘once in a blue moon’.

When there is no Blue Moon we will try to organise the weekend retreat around the Full Moon which is also a wonderful time for change. The Full Moon phase, along with the peaceful and nurturing natural setting, are ideal for helping you let go of your daily fears and judgements, and allowing you to concentrate on accepting and loving the amazing Woman you are. The Waning moon (the phase after the Full Moon) is the time for working on removing the things you no longer want in your life, perhaps letting go of unhelpful thought patterns or behaviours using techniques and skills you learn during the Blue Moon weekend.

Using Equine Assisted Psychotherapy & Learning; Meditation; Mindfulness and Creative Arts, we will help you celebrate the magic of Women and to embrace your authentic self.

Due to the nature of the individual sessions and the workshop objectives, the number of places are limited to eight women.
