Nourish & Replenish PD

A day of connection, rest and renewal with horses

Helping others means holding space for pain, urgency and complex emotions every day.

As therapists, we are continually holding space for others’ pain. We sit with their sorrow, their confusion, their anger, and their hope. This exposure to our clients’ emotional distress leaves an impact on us which we carry in our bodies, our nervous system and in the spaces between sessions.

Take a day to be held and supported.

Set in the peaceful surroundings of Edenhope Homestead, spend time with our beautiful herd of horses, slowing, down and restoring your mind body system.

Led by experienced Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy practitioners, this gentle, experiential PD invites you to reconnect with yourself, the natural world, and your professional purpose through:

• Gentle somatic and poly vagal techniques that support ongoing regulation
• Reflective observation and connection with Horses to gain insight and fresh perspective, inviting you to pause and reset your nerve system
• Creative integration and resourcing to anchor reflections, nurture and restore.

You’ll leave feeling renewed, grounded, and resourced — ready to return to your personal and professional life with greater clarity, balance, and ease.

  • Guided facilitation by experienced Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning Practitioners

  • Supported equine observation and interactions (non-riding)

  • Psycho-education and social-emotional learning

“I loved the equine experience - it helped me to feel present, more grounded and aware of myself… the session has helped me feel less tense and slow my racing mind.”
