EVENTS
FIRST FRIDAY, APRIL 5TH
HERD MEDITATION 4 - 6 PM
Herd Meditations offer peace and quiet, fresh air, and some time to slow things down with a supportive herd of horses. The herd meditation consists of small groups of people gathering together, with optional introductions followed by a brief, calming meditative exercise. Participants are then invited to join the herd at their own pace and at whatever distance feels comfortable. As we regather, short reflections are shared. No horse experience is required.
