What Can I Expect
Meditation with horses - unique and enchanting equine experiences! Animal trainer and meditator Katherine is behind these fascinating horse meditation sessions and she'd love to share these holistic experiences with you.
We are offering vouchers for outdoor horse meditation sessions, as well as indoor experiences in the old stone barn with the gentle giants that are Shire horses.
The horses are living their best lives on their farm at Hawkshead in the heart of the wonderful Lake District. They live in harmony with their humans Katherine and Ben, who run outdoor activities and an alternative camping site on the farm. It's an amazing place to feel free, yet totally engaged in the peaceful environment you find yourself in.
So what is equine meditation all about? Well, you know how sometimes all you need is a big hug? No words, just that mutual unspoken understanding that makes everything feel better? That's what meditation with horses feels like.
Katherine will explain the theory behind the practice and how she discovered that the connection with horses through meditation leads to a feeling of well-being and positivity.
Building a relationship with your horse is key. Grooming is the best way to ‘break the ice' and be accepted by your four-legged meditation partner. Now you can open your heart and mind. Horses have a gentle and peaceful energy which will soothe, regulate and inspire you.
Far from being intense, these meditating with horses experiences in this tranquil corner of the Lake District are filled with calm, yet also playfulness (they love to follow you, lie down with their heads next to yours and play games too). Totally absorbing, you will be charmed and captivated.
Insightful, inspiring and something totally out of the ordinary in the best possible sense of the phrase, we think meditating with horses will open your mind in a way you never could have imagined. Book your horse meditation experience in the Lake District and enjoy a magical moment.
