The Waterhole |

Next Waterhole: Sunday August 25 10am – 12pm
150 Larcombes Road, Modewarre RSVP

Gather with other like-hearted people to spend time in the presence of the horses as teachers and healers.

In these changing times, the building of community is one of the most sacred purposes of the human collective when it is based on values, heart, joy, trust and common purpose.

At this gathering we engage in practices of mindfulness, immerse ourselves in nature, and invite the wisdom of the horses for learning and healing.

Unlike our programs and individual sessions, your experience at the Waterhole is not facilitated. You are invited to step into the stillness and sacredness of nature where you can take time to reflect, and access your own innate wisdom.

We do however suggest a point of focus at each Waterhole. For example, we may invite you to experience the flow of giving and receiving as you spend time with the horses, or practice mindfulness while brushing a horse.

We conclude each program with sharing food.

As we will be outside, this gathering is weather-dependent. If extreme weather conditions are predicted, the gathering will be cancelled. If you are unsure, please check with us the day before the gathering. You can click here to check the forecast of weather conditions in Torquay.

“I wanted to let you know that my experience with the horses at the Waterhole really came home to me later in the week where I experienced a profound connection to being in the moment and moving with true flow, whilst walking among fast and busy people in the city.

The sensation of the ‘perfect step’ came through, that is that each movement was in perfect synchronicity, and I felt that I would get where i needed to go in perfect time. Both on a practical level for what I needed to achieve that day, and in a larger sense, where each step felt aligned and connected with my true purpose. The feeling of deep stillness and connection whilst blending and passing through all the business around me. Truly poetry in motion!
