I've watched horses do something I can only describe as a gift. A woman walks into the pasture with the wait of something in her life pressing in, her shoulders up, breath shallow, eyes busy. Then in a just a few moments, something shifts. A horse moves close. Her breathing slows to match the horse’s. Her shoulders drop and her eyes soften. She didn't do anything. The horse just... what? Maybe offered a different way of being, showed regulation, and her body accepted and released somehow.
That's what this experience is is built around. We combine that with therapeutic sound — singing bowls and tuning forks that work directly with the nervous system — and three unhurried hours on the farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
✦ Small group of 8–10
✦ Sound bath + equine presence work + gentle movement and integration circle
✦ No horse experience necessary
Traveling in? Mt. Mitchell Eco Retreat is a mile from the farm — we love sending people there to extend the exhale.
Note that in the event of rainy weather, this may be rescheduled.
