Play Date with Horse

When was the last time you were on a play date? Or played a game? Something that is so natural for kids and a part of their daily lives becomes so elusive as we get older and grow into adults. Play serves so many roles; it’s not only a way to pass time, but it can also enhance problem solving, help in changing perspective, get in touch with our unconscious, increase creativity, and of course it’s a great way to have fun and enjoy being in the moment.
This year has been challenging for all of us and I think we can all use a little lightness, laughter and fun.
During this 4 hour play date, we will partner with the horse as a play mate to access the inner child in us and to learn something new about ourselves. This play time will be a mix of ‘just for fun’ games as well as a way to expand our awareness of ourselves and (re)discover sides of us we haven’t seen before or lost touch with. And there will be a few surprises waiting for us as well. 🙂 The horses will serve as perfect play mates and help us make this day both special and fun.
For this workshop, there is no horse experience required. There will be no riding. All interactions with the horse(s) are done from the ground.
This workshop is for you if: you are longing for some fun, laughter and lightness after all the challenges of this year. If you want to reconnect with your inner child and experience play not only as an adult, but also in partnership with a horse.
Accessibility: there are parking spots on the property if you want to come by car. If using public transport, I will be happy to pick you up from the village center (Stegen), as the farm lies a little hidden away and is far to reach by foot from the center.

Stress Relief & Mindfulness with Horses Workshop

Date & Time (choose 1): Saturday, July 11th, 13-17h // Saturday, July 18th, 9-13h

Location: Bio-Haff Baltes, 1 Um Suewel, 9186 Stegen

Special Price: 75€ per person

Language: English (but I am flexible to accommodate Luxembourgish & German as well)

Horses are masterful teachers when it comes to stress relief and mindfulness. They have no agenda, no to-do lists, no appointments. This allows them to be fully present in each moment, taking it as it comes and living through their days mostly stress-free. It is one of their qualities that could be highly useful to us in our day-to-day lives.
In this 4 hour workshop, we look at this particular and many other different behaviors and qualities that come so natural to horses, learn from them, and see how we can apply them in our own lives. You will also learn stress management and mindfulness techniques that you can integrate in your own life. We will be working with the horses directly (no riding, only from the ground).
This workshop is for you if: you often feel stressed out, anxious, or overwhelmed by your emotions or the stimuli in your environment (noises, people wanting your attention, chores that need to get done etc). Maybe you are curious to learn more about how horses can help with stress relief and mindfulness or are just interested in these topics in general and would like to learn more about how you can create a life with less stress and more ease for yourself.
For this workshop, there is no horse experience required. There will be no riding. All interactions with the horse(s) are done from the ground.
Accessibility: there are parking spots on the property if you want to come by car. If using public transport, I will be happy to pick you up from the village center (Stegen), as the farm lies a little hidden away and is far to reach by foot from the center.
This is a wonderful opportunity to grow, meet new people, be in the presence of horses, and learn something that might make a big change in your life.
The horses and I are looking forward to meeting you soon!

These unusual times require unusual solutions. I continue to be very focused on offering support during this challenging time in any way I can. I also acknowledge that finances may be a bit tight for some of you as well. So I am offering a different way of bringing the horse-assisted guidance and coaching to you:
A series of 4 group workshops, all virtual and online, so you can attend from the comfort and safety of your own home while still enjoying and benefiting from the connection and exchange with others as well as the presence of the horses. During the entire duration of the workshop, my little herd will be live right there with us.

They and I will hold a safe space and guide you in letting go of any stress, worry, or anxiety that might have built up and support you in becoming more grounded and balanced and to increase your well-being. Every session will include a guided meditation. It is very important to me to offer this as a safe space of exchange, connection, and respect, and free of judgment so that we can all use this to support each other. Each workshop will be on a different topic, however, this is not set in stone and I leave this open to flexibility depending on the group’s needs. As mentioned before, this group workshop series was created by me to offer support to you and serve you in the best way possible.

There are 2 different groups that will meet on 4 separate days, the Saturday and the Thursday group.
Here are the dates and times again for the 2 groups:
Saturday Group: meets April 11th, 18th, 25th, & May 2nd from 10-11 am
Thursday Group: meets April 9th, 16th, 23rd, & 30th from 10-11 am

The horses and I are looking forward to connecting with and supporting you!

Horses are often said to be mirrors of your soul, to bring to the surface what’s deep inside of us, behind the masks that we often feel compelled to wear due to societal and our own pressures.
But what if we could turn this around? Horses possess and embody many qualities that could be highly useful to us in our day-to-day lives. Consciousness, authenticity and leadership just being a few of them.
In this 2 hour workshop, we look at different behaviors and qualities that come so natural to horses, learn from them, and see how we can apply them in our own lives. You will also get the opportunity to work directly with horses if you wish to.

No horse experience required. There will be no riding, all interactions with the horse(s) are done from the ground.

This is a wonderful opportunity to grow, meet new people, be in the presence of horses, and learn something that might make a big change in your life.

Natur, Pferde, frische Luft, und eine Gruppe netter Menschen. Starten Sie das neue Jahr mit einem Spaziergang durch die Wälder von Koerich und dies in Begleitung der Pferde.
Die Weihnachts- und Feiertagszeit kann sehr stressig sein. Das Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu, alles muss noch irgendwie erledigt werden und oft besteht diese Zeit auch aus viel Planung und Organisation damit man ja nichts vergisst. Wieso also nehmen Sie sich nicht diese Zeit für sich selbst um zu entspannen, die Seele nach dieser stressigen Zeit baumeln zu lassen, Qualitätszeit mit den Pferden und einer Gruppe gleichgesinnter Menschen zu verbringen, und das neue Jahr willkommen zu heißen mit all seinen Möglichkeiten, Chancen, Überraschungen und allem anderen was es zu bieten hat?
Gemeinsam mit den Pferden werden wir durch die Wälder Koerichs wandern und uns Zeit nehmen um über das Jahr 2020 nachzudenken und einen Weg zu finden, wie wir es voller Freude und Energie für das, was vor uns liegt, starten können. Wir werden einige angeleitete Übungen machen um uns damit zu helfen.
Damit auch jeder Teilnehmer die Veranstaltung voll genießen kann und genügend Zeit mit den Pferden hat, begrenzen wir die Teilnehmerzahl für jede Veranstaltung auf maximal 6 Leute. Dies trägt dazu bei, dass wir eine innige Zeit mit den Pferden verbringen und wir uns auch untereinander kennenlernen und austauschen können.

No horse experience required. There will be no riding, all interactions with the horse(s) are done from the ground.

Erwecken Sie Ihr wahres ICH

Datum & Uhrzeit: Samstag, 17. August, 10-12h

Veranstaltungsort: die Wälder um Koerich

Teilnehmerzahl: max. 6 Personen

Wir leben in einer Gesellschaft, die immer mehr von uns fordert: höher, schneller, besser. Wir stehen ständig unter Druck effizient, erfolgreich und besser zu sein um befördert zu werden oder glücklich zu sein. Manche dieser Erwartungen kommen von unserem Umfeld, oder sozialen Netzwerken. Aber wir vergessen dabei, dass wir uns selbst oft den größten Druck machen unsere eigenen Erwartungen zu erfüllen. Dies kann unnötige seelische sowie auch körperliche Belastungen verursachen und zu Verhaltensmustern führen die oft kontraproduktiv sind.

In diesem Workshop erkennen Sie welche falschen und begrenzenden Glaubenssätze Sie aufhalten und verwandeln diese in kraftvolle und positive Glaubenssätze, denn nur so können Sie endlich freier nach vorne gehen. Das Pferd hilft dabei, Sie wieder mit Ihrem authentischen, echten Selbst in Verbindung zu bringen und unterstützt Sie mit seiner ruhigen, jedoch starken Energie in diesem Prozess. Der Workshop findet draußen im Wald statt was für eine noch einzigartigere Atmosphäre sorgt. Erleben Sie die Kraft einer Begegnung mit Pferd und erwecken Sie Ihr authentisches Selbst für mehr Balance, Zufriedenheit, und Freude im Leben.

Keine Pferdeerfahrung erforderlich. Alle Begegnungen und Interaktionen mit dem/n Pferd(en) finden vom Boden aus statt.

Awaken your Authentic Self

Date & Time: Wednesday July 24th, 14-16h & Saturday September 14th, 10h-12h30

Location: Woods around Koerich

Group size: max. 6 people

We live in a society with ever increasing demands: higher, faster, better. We are constantly under pressure to perform, to be efficient, to be successful, to do better, to get promoted, to be happy, and to compromise. Some of these expectations may come from others, our environment, even social media, but we forget that we very often put a lot of pressure on ourselves to live up to our own expectations. This can cause unnecessary strain and even patterns that are counter-productive.

In this workshop you will learn what false and self-limiting beliefs are holding you back and transform them into powerful and positive ones that will move you forward. The horse will help to bring you back in touch with your authentic self through its calm yet bold energy and support you throughout the process. Pferde sind unglaublich intuitiv, ausgeglichen und leben zu jedem Zeitpunkt im Hier und Jetzt. They will share that energy with you and will help you to re-energize and relax. The workshop will take place outdoors in the woods for an even more unique ambience. Experience the power of an encounter with horse and awaken your authentic self for more balance, satisfaction, and happiness.

No horse experience required. There will be no riding, all interactions with the horse(s) are done from the ground.
