Meditations for Horsewomen

Have you ever had to “pump yourself up” before a lesson? 

Have you gone into the ring at a show and your mind just stops, or you are so focused that your horse gets tense and hard to ride? 

Maybe you find yourself thinking "I have to do x/y/z no matter what because my horse needs it." Or even the dreaded, "Why do I keep doing this?" 

Horsewomen are powerful beings in that we create seemingly superhuman sources of self-motivation, but we don't always take the time to delve into what fuels us. In the 1-day Meditations for Horsewomen retreat, we rediscover what made us fall in love with horses and horsesport, find stillness in what we discover, and create a space for us to unlock that powerful motivation in a beneficial way. 

Participants will develop active meditation practices that can be used in or out of the saddle, learn communication tools through liberty exercises, and take time to exist with horses in a low pressure state. This retreat welcomes horsewomen of all experience levels, any discipline, and even those who don't ride but are drawn to the ways of the horse. 

Hosted by Madison DeCook, a horsewoman of over 20 years. With her 12 years of martial arts training, she melds together the two worlds in a way that brings her students softness, self-awareness and gratitude towards the lessons that horses teach us. 

$300 per person. 10am - 4pm. Space is Limited. A lunch will be provided.
