The Afternoon and Evening of
October 8th
The October Full Moon
A time to celebrate the abundance of LIFE and all the gifts of the heart!!!
Join me to anchor into our hearts with nature and exude gratitude for all the blessings of the feminine energy by supporting female owned businesses centered around bringing people back to connect with horses and nature.
This will be an enlightening, yet playful afternoon and evening where we can take some time to make space to enjoy life with a little retreat away from the everyday hustle and bustle, it is easy to get stuck in a lack mentality when you keep yourself so busy trying to keep up that you can loose sight of the gifts of the season and the subtle ways that the earth shows us how to honor the changes in life. The changing colors of the leaves getting ready to release, the cool air bringing the hints of winter around the corner, the days getting shorter while the nights get longer preparing us to ease into a time of rest and simplification.
Taking some time to retreat to nature and to immerse yourself with other wonderful women will aid you in filling up your cup and allow you to feel more aligned with your true nature and the shifts you may need to make to honor your own cycles of life.
Our afternoon and evening will be full of wonderful and exciting things to enjoy the beauty of nature and connection with animals as well as each other. We will begin connecting in a circle to share our abundance of gratitude for all the blessings brought forth by the summer season while enjoying hot tea. Afterwards, we will prepare ourselves to connect mindfully with the horses by stretching our bodies and centering our hearts with a gentle yoga and meditation session, then we will mount our horses and ride off into the sunset and with the moonrise together taking in all the scenery and inspiration, following our ride will enjoying a warm dinner (provided) while we gather around a bonfire to share stories, oracle cards and smores.
