Wild & Wise
A day to reconnect with yourself alongside the herd.
Sunday 23 August | Little Berkhamsted, Herts
There are times when we all need a little more space.
Not to fix ourselves.
Not to become someone different.
Simply space to slow down, notice what is happening within us, and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that can so easily become lost in the pace of everyday life.
Wild & Wise is a gentle invitation to step away from the pace of everyday life and spend a day in nature, alongside the herd.
Through quiet moments, gentle embodied practices and time outdoors, we create space to pause, become more aware and reconnect with ourselves.
There is nothing to achieve.
Only an invitation to arrive exactly as you are.
What to expect
The invitation throughout the day is to give yourself permission simply to be—to slow down, notice and become more present with yourself.
We begin with a guided body scan, noticing breath, sensation and how we arrive that day. We then gently extend this awareness into the space around us, towards others and into the space we share.
We carry that awareness with us as we meet the herd. The horses help create the conditions in which we can sense ourselves in relationship: how it feels to be with ourselves, within shared space and alongside another being.
After lunch, Helen brings the awareness cultivated during the morning into slow, gentle movement and felt sense—exploring what it is to experience ourselves from the inside out.
We close alongside the herd, reflecting on how we arrived, what may have shifted and what we would like to carry with us as we head home.
Come exactly as you are
No previous experience with horses or movement practices is needed.
Everything takes place on the ground, and there is no pressure to approach or touch a horse.
You are welcome to participate in the way that feels right for you, including taking a seat or observing from outside the field.
People often come alone, and the group is kept small so the day can remain welcoming, gently paced and personal.
If this feels like the space you need, we would love to welcome you alongside the herd.
