Held by the Herd: Mindfulness under the Full moon
About
Held by the Herd: Mindfulness and Meditation under the full moon.This special Held by the Herd session is a gentle pause -
a chance to step outside the noise, feel the earth beneath your feet,
and settle into the quiet presence of the horses under moonlight.
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 under the full moon, support you.
What to Expect:
- A welcoming arrival and gentle settling-in
- Guided mindfulness practices with the Herd - quiet connection with self & horses
- Circle Facilitation - steady, supportive conversation and reflection
- Nature Immersion - time to simply be, under the moon and the open sky
