About
Held by the HerdMindfulness + Meditation in the Presence of Horses
Held by the Herd is a gentle 90‑minute mindfulness and meditation experience held outdoors at Jiva Rise, in quiet view of the horses.
The herd will be in their own space—free to graze, move, and simply be horses. Their calm presence, their way of settling into the land, and their natural coherence become part of the atmosphere you’ll be held in.
This session is designed to help you slow down, soften your edges, and come back to yourself.
You’ll be guided through simple mindfulness practices and a grounding meditation, with plenty of space to breathe, notice, and settle.
Just time to get quiet, to be in your body, and to let the stillness of nature support you.
