We are beyond excited to launch our ‘Rest Restore Revive with Horses’ workshops in partnership with Deirdre Magra, a remarkable horsewoman with over 20 years of meditation and life coaching experience and more then 40 years experience working and training horses. The day will be infused with scientific principals and meditation practices to help teach people the silent energy language of horses.
Why with Horses?
Horses are highly intuitive animals, and are masters at reading human body language. Recent research conducted by the Institute of Heart Math estimated that horses have an electromagnetic field that can expand up to 15 meters around their body, whereas a human's heart electromagnetic field is only up to 3 meters; horses can literally feel you coming. If a horse tenses up, that can signal to you that you need to relax so that the horse relaxes. It is also significant that the horse’s electromagnetic field is stronger than ours and can actually directly influence our own heart rhythm!
The information above is from a HeartMath Institute study www.heartmath.org and supports the work and experiences here at Glendalough Organics.
What is included in the day?
Introduction to the science behind how horses communicate and basics of horse behaviour and safety.
Guided breathing exercises.
Methods of bonding with the horses.
Guided practice of being with the horses in the now.
Practice of mindful moving with the horse through matching body language.
Foraging walk to collect plants for our tea and lunch.
A delicious nutritious organic vegetarian lunch, tea, coffee and refreshments.
You will be part of a group of up to 10 participants and 4/5 horses of all sizes.
Note, you can be as close or as far away from the horse as you feel comfortable. Distance will not reduce the merit of your experience.
Anything else ?
Indoor sitting sessions will take place in the polytunnel if its raining.
This is an outdoor event in the Wicklow mountains, suitable outdoor clothing should be worn along with wellies or sturdy boots. Wear layers we don’t want you getting cold.
