Welcome to our holistic health series. Here we will unpack some key principles of nature based learning that we can work towards together in 1-1 sessions and in our group gatherings. Not a tick box, a yes or no, a wrong or right. Just an opportunity to reflect and make some small shifts in your world.

Today we spot light emotional health.

Some questions you could ask yourself are

Am I able to notice, name and express emotions as they arrive?

What is one small step I could take to have more awareness of my emotional health in my day to day life?

How is my emotional health impacting my relationships, work, hobbies and everyday life?

What do I rate my emotional health out of 10 today?

Follow along for the next part of this series 🫶🏻✨

What is BVEAL?
A place to connect, relax, learn and grow 🌿

Gently held by nature, the animals and wonderful practitioners. A space to slow down, deeply connect with yourself and the herd. A place to learn and grow.

Sometimes we don’t interact with the horses at all… and this is why.

Practicing presence and acceptance in nature will guide you home. Back to your most ‘youest’ you, because in nature there is no judgement. There is no need to perform, no social hierarchy, no judgement. Just unconditional holding and love. Reflecting back to yourself that you are enough, you are perfect just as you are, you are safe, you are loved, you are majestically powerful and soft at the same time.

Because nature based learning and equine assisted learning walk along side each other. With presence, unconditional love, grounding, regulating goodness from nature, the little floofs or the horses. 🫶🏻✨🌷

📚Book by Inner Harmony Haven 📚

This session we started with a snack and book in the shed focusing on emotional regulation and friendships.

Then onto making an angry potion in the magical shed.

Some chicken cuddles practicing our balloon breathing and noticing the chickens felt safe and confident with us if we were calm.

Then onto some guinea cuddles again focusing on friendships, boundaries and regulation.

We finished with a play in the tree house and swings.

Happy birthday to my darling angel pony best friends 🩷🦄🌸🧁

Why horses?

Horses can sense how humans are feeling and adjust accordingly. That can have profound impact on humans nervous system simply by tuning in. They show up unapologetically themselves without masking, without thinking about social ques. They are just their fully embodied selves. Grounded. Present. And right here.

Today we celebrate the horses birthday and say thank you to our co workers. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being here in this world and choosing to work with us. Thank you for teaching so many with your quiet yet powerful wisdom.

The power of nature~ the gentle healer

Nature holds you and guides you back home to yourself. In the gentle breeze on your face, the sparkles in the sunlight, the darkness of the new moon. By noticing our environment we connect with the present moment, we shut off the to do list and the need to do and we allow ourselves to JUST BE. Be with self, be with the sensations in your body, be with this moment. Nowhere else to be, nothing else to do.

Riding has never been about performance or achieving a certain movement or competition for me. It’s about embodiment, full body awareness, connection and regulation. Recently this has slipped as I entered the competition world. I have lost my alignment and values of my why I ride ponies. So back to basics. Lots of time together at home. Less doing. More being. Less pressure, more presence. More flying about the clouds and jumping lava, less caring what others think of our riding journey. 🦄🧚🏻🌸🫶🏻🩷✨🐉
