These workshops offer transformative experiences through deep connection, healing, and self-discovery, guided by ancestral wisdom, nature, and equine sensitivity, culminating in personal growth and clarity.

SATURDAY & SUNDAY,
10-11 OCTOBER 2026

This is the first men’s workshop at the farm. In these challenging times, the male members of the herd came together in profound peace (see picture above), recognising the need to support and guide one another. This weekend offers a unique opportunity for men to connect with their inner selves and embark on a transformative experience of self discovery.

Together, the group will have the chance to embrace emotions, address issues and move forward as a united front. An experienced team will guide participants through this potent experience.

Miranda, a seasoned Equine Facilitated Psychotherapist, Family Systemic and Somatic Practitioner, brings 20 years of living and working alongside her herd of 10 horses. She will support the group in learning to trust intuition and instinct, guided by the natural wisdom of our equine partners.

The herd will offer profound insights reflecting individuals’ emotional state, providing new pathways to deeper understanding. Learn to listen to emotional and bodily signals, take action and move forward, and work with the horses to establish congruent, embodied boundaries. Any arising issues will also be processed with the herd.

Tone Horwood, a highly experienced Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist and former Drama Therapist, will lead the workshop using the drama-based method of Psychodrama. This approach offers the opportunity to work together creatively with issues, gain new perspectives and explore innovative solutions to life’s challenges.

Dave Goddard will inspire the group to create with fire and the elements using his blacksmith’s forge.

Mark Lumley will prepare delicious vegetarian lunches and cakes.

The gypsy caravan, yurt and bell tent are available to book for the weekend, but anyone with a tent can pitch for free.

Eight spaces. £450pp, and £250 for two concessionary places, including drinks, snacks and lunch, shower and wood-fired sauna.

THERE IS ONE SPACE IN GROUP 4

These groups with the herd offer qualified therapists a seasonal, reflective journey into personal and professional development, guided by the intuitive wisdom of horses and nature, into interconnectedness and leadership.

THERE IS ONE SPACE IN THIS GROUP

2025: 5 December, 10-4.30pm

2026: 6 Feb, 1 May, 11 September, 4 December, 10am-4.30pm

This women’s group works with ritual and the interconnectedness of people with the herd and nature to explore what it means to be an older woman.

With the support of the horses, as expert mirrors of body, soul and spirit, the group delves into older woman archetypes, releasing joy, creativity, laughter and naughtiness, while also and acknowledging the shadows.

The group suits women who want to join a community as they face the inevitable losses during this time of life, who want to find the courage of ruthless compassion, who want to pursue the truth of their heart’s desire and, as an elder, be supportive to themselves, to others and to our earth.

It is a requirement that participants have experienced extensive personal therapy and, ideally, to have worked with Miranda and the herd.

This ongoing group will meet four times a year. Drinks, biscuits and fruit are provided, but please bring your own lunch. Cost: £150 per day.

POSTPONED UNTIL 2026

During the journey to adulthood, relationships between parents or guardians and their young are in constant flux. Observing the herd’s two mothers, their four offspring and the role of the wider equine ‘family,’ both male and female, will give us plenty of food for thought. We’ll look at parenting styles, the power of listening, witnessing and supporting, and the tricky issue of balancing boundaries. How do you demonstrate leadership, maintain a loving connection and allow children to explore and step into their true selves while ensuring their safety and respecting freedom and privacy?

Eight spaces. Open to parents, stepparents, foster parents, grandparents, guardians and their young. £250 pp. Two concessionary spaces available.

POSTPONDED UNTIL 2026

This experience is for those seeking unspoken wisdom around death and dying. With the horses comes the opportunity to align what is true with our beliefs around the mysteries of dying well. The workshop offers a foundation of peace and support through the herd as you or someone you love approaches death. Living in the moment, animals guide us to be present and synchronise with the seasons of living.  Allowing ourselves to be present with fear, anger, sadness and pain helps us move into acceptance, forgiveness and our heart's release. Nurturing a connection with our ancestors, we shall call upon their wisdom to illuminate our path to living and dying well. This work will help us evolve and live with meaning and purpose until our life’s end.

This workshop is facilitated by Miranda and Kathleen McGarry, an equine facilitated guide and founder of Spirit-Horse. She is writing her first book about her seven-year experience as a care-giver and the profound realities of hospice, death doulas, assisted living and the preparation of life's next chapters.

Participants may find it helpful to view a video of Miranda and the herd’s final farewell to a much-loved mare, Mossy.

Eight spaces. £600 pp. Drinks, lunch and afternoon tea and cake included.
