Profound, gentle, accessible, and deeply restorative

I did the Silent meditation with horses retreat and if I had to sum it up in as few words as possible I’d say it was profound, peaceful, unexpectedly emotional, and a welcome homecoming. In more words: Katherine holds a very gentle space with such presence and skill. There's so much that clearly goes into the organisation from behind the scenes, from the food to the time with the horses to the guided meditations back home and more - a lot to keep on top of! Even though Katherine has all this to organise, she still shows up to each session with an abundance of calm, deep presence, and easeful intuitive guiding.Before arriving I was really quite stressed. But I left the retreat with a renewed appreciation for, and understanding of Winter, silence, wordless communication, and the way time can stretch long and slow when there is nowhere else to go. I got to reconnect with horses and meditation in a thoughtfully accessible way that even lead to naps in the lounge, which shows how relaxed I felt as I'm not usually a napper in group spaces!It's hard to even put it all into words, as so much happened in my internal process, which I am very grateful to Katherine for and this beautiful part of the world and the horses. I already miss my quiet, peaceful room in the sanctuary of a home Katherine welcomed is into.Final point - I have coeliac so have to eat gluten free and Katherine was very good about making the meals gluten free and helping keep me safe food wise. I felt very well nourished and my tummy was happy with the food. Even though it was a silent retreat, she made use of written notes if there was anything to cover about the food so that was really helpful and reassuring for me.
