Harmony with Horses

Join us at Westerlands for our Equine Wellness Series. We have workshops for horse owners as well as individuals which are run by experienced and qualified wellness and equine professionals

  • Gather, Reflect & Connect

    2 hour workshop
    £125 = 1 attendee
    £150 = 2-5 attendees

    Focus: Equine Connection
    Instructor: Gemma
    Location: Equestrian Centre
    Suitable for Women 18+

    Horses are deeply intuitive animals, capable of sensing our thoughts and emotions. Through their presence, they encourage us to embrace our authentic selves, fostering mindfulness and a deeper connection to nature.

    Our session begins with relaxation and meditation techniques, allowing you to attune yourself to the horses and the natural world. You may choose to set personal intentions or simply let the experience unfold. Within the horses’ non-judgmental space, you’ll find an opportunity for solace, self-discovery, and well-being.

    The workshop explores themes which are appropriate for the attendees and inspired by the wisdom of horses:

    One Step at a Time – Embracing patience and steady progress
    Boundaries – Understanding and asserting personal space
    Intuition – Trusting your inner voice
    Teamwork – Cultivating connection and collaboration

    By immersing yourself in these themes, you’ll gain insights and practical tools to apply in everyday life.

    Email Elly first to book your session and then make payment to confirm your booking.

  • Soundbath with Horses

    £49 per person

    Focus: Equine Connection
    Instructors: Elly, Gemma & Aylumi
    Location: Equestrian Field

    Immerse yourself in the soothing world of sound healing with horses, where rejuvenating vibrations and the gentle presence of these majestic animals combine to create a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience. Let the harmonious blend of sound, nature, and equine energy wash over you, calming your nervous system and restoring your sense of balance and inner peace.

    Our Summer Sound Bath begins with a grounding breathwork session, gently guiding you to attune to the rhythm of your breath, the presence of the horses, and the natural world around you. As your body relaxes and your mind settles, you’ll enter a space of deep listening and connection—an ideal state to receive the healing resonance of sound.

    Throughout the session, the soothing tones of crystal bowls, chimes, gongs, and other healing instruments will weave a sonic tapestry around you, amplified by the intuitive energy of the horses who hold space with quiet wisdom and grace.

    Join Elly, Gemma, Alyumi, and the horses for this transformative journey into stillness and renewal. Leave the session feeling grounded, open-hearted, and deeply connected—to yourself, the herd, and the healing energy of summer.
