The Farm
Heal In Nature
With unlimited access to technology, advancements in the work place, and growing opportunities for extracurricular activities, many find themselves having very little free time to connect with nature and practice mindfulness. At the farm, we provide endless opportunities to connect with nature and practice being mindful within this surrounding. Opportunities to connect with the earth below your feet, hear and connect with the animals nickering around you, see and smell the leaves rustling above your head and soak in the endless rural sight lines. This unique setting for practicing self-care routines allows you to escape and reset. It provides a foundation where you can breathe and think about molding a lifestyle that is meaningful and balanced for you. While in this setting, clients are able to connect with nature as well as discover new insights and skills in a supportive setting before returning home to practice. This rural oasis encourages reflection and healing.
Connection & Entrainment
Being prey animals, horses must be sensitive to all things in their surroundings and assess their threat level around the clock; this unique sensibility allows horses to be perceptive to human emotions and intentions and respond accordingly. Many times, horses not only reflect back our emotions so that we may look in a living mirror of what we are experiencing and become more aware, but they often allow us to entrain or become 'in sync' with their calm and gentle nature. Much like our body is able to entrain to calm music, slowing our breathing and heart rate, horses have the same therapeutic effects when experiencing their presence within the right moment. There are longstanding stories passed down through generations related to horses and their spiritual healing and presence. Being able to use these insights gives us the ability to benefit in mind, body and spirit from these unique experiences.
