How can we shift these patterns and dynamics?

EXPLORING PRESENCE, CONNECTION and DISCONNECTION: three day residential
13th to 16th February 2025
Three nights, three days
LOCATION: Trealy Farm, Monmouthshire
Description
An embodied exploration of how we are in presence and connection – both in our own body, in space and in relationship with others.
Presence, Connection and Disconnection are words we use a lot but what does it actually mean to be in connection? And when we disconnect what are we doing and why?
Horses are generous and relationship orientated beings in whose presence humans can better experience an embodied, visceral and sensual sense of self. When we are in the presence of horses we are receiving and giving information about who we are in relationship and about how we connect and disconnect both consciously and unconsciously.
We’ll be in a large covered space and the horses will always be free to move towards or away. Horse contact is safe and need not be physically close up to be powerful. No horse experience whatsoever required.
As well as the arena, the course will be taught in the dedicated group meeting space of the Pavilion. Be inspired by stunning views of the Black Mountains. Wake up with a morning meditation with horses, swim in the natural swimming pool, walk through the woods, and unwind in the saunas.
The course is a three day residential. There is space for 8 participants. It is fully catered with delicious, nourishing and sustainable ingredients: 3 meals per day, 2 course lunches & dinners.
February 13th at 5 pm to 16th at 4 pm 2025 (3 days)

EXPLORING POWER & VULNERABILITY: three day residential
27th to 30th March 2025
Three nights, three days
LOCATION: Trealy Farm, Monmouthshire
Description
An Equine Facilitated Workshop at Trealy Farm on the themes of vulnerability and power. To be vulnerable can be frightening and uncomfortable yet without it we cannot change or be truly powerful. How does it feel to be powerful in an embodied relational way? Humans are often coy, shamed, cunning or not clean in their experience of power. How can we shift these patterns and dynamics?
Humans often have an ambivalent and uneasy relationship to power. Why does this occur and what are the costs? How can we enhance our relationship to power to better serve ourselves and others? What are our personal stories around power and how do these impact us in the here and now? How can we become more aware of how it feels in our body-mind to feel powerful?
Horses can help because they use power cleanly and for the benefit of the herd. For example, they take turns in stepping forward as leader when their particular skills and qualities are needed. Moreover their use of power is always relational and embodied. They can help surface our own human patterns around power, both conscious and unconscious.
We’ll use a playful as well as an intimate and embodied approach to exploring the themes.
Thursday March 27th at 5 pm to Sunday March 30th at 4 pm 2025
The course will be taught in the dedicated group meeting spaces of the Pavilion as well as the spacious Arena. Be inspired by stunning views of the Black Mountains. Wake up with a morning meditation with horses, swim in the natural swimming pool, walk through the woods, and unwind in the saunas.
The course is a two day residential. There is space for 8 participants. It is fully catered with delicious, nourishing and sustainable ingredients: 3 meals per day, 2 course lunches & dinners.
Horse contact is safe and need not be physically close up to be powerful.
