2-hour, free workshop for mental health carers.

This workshop is designed to give carers a chance to pause, reconnect with their own wellbeing, and explore some powerful tools and insights that can help them care for themselves as they continue to care for others. The workshop will provide an opportunity for carers to explore:

• How our nervous systems work and how understanding this can help us feel safer, calmer, and more resilient — even in stressful moments.

• Practical ways to support wellbeing through simple, body-based practices.

• And something really unique — how working alongside horses can support healing, regulation, and connection.

Horses are remarkable teachers of presence and authenticity, and they can help us tune into ourselves in ways we might not expect.

The day is an opportunity to learn, reflect, and share (during conversations and over lunch) — but only as much as each participant feels comfortable with. There will be no pressure to participate in any way that doesn’t feel right. Participants will work with the horses in pairs and be well supported throughout the activities.

The aim is for all participants to leave feeling seen, supported, and with some new tools to nourish their wellbeing.

The day will end with a provided lunch for all attendees.
