Mindfulness and Horses

Facilitators: Oriane Lee Johnston , Mary Rostad , Tania Stearns

Slow down into horse time, with the herd of Mary’s Farm & Sanctuary, in the natural beauty of sacred Coast Salish land at Goldstream. Horses live in presence––moment by moment awareness of themselves, each other and their environment. In their company, we become aware of the fluidity of our own mind-states, emotions, body sensations and energy. In their field of consciousness, we move into a natural presence and peace beyond our everyday cognitive awareness.

Our mindfulness teachers in this retreat are the farm herd of nine resident horses. The farm’s human facilitators are present for guidance, support, and to ensure your safety. Join us for breathing and body meditations, hands-on contact with your special horse, quiet reflection with the herd, and guided group interactions with the horse. No prior meditation or horse experience is needed.

Tuition fee includes lunch.

This course can be taken on its own or as part of the Integrated Mindfulness Certificate.
