As I was preparing for last weekends activities, holding in mind the changing of the seasons and client work, This quote has been on my mind a lot recently

As the changing of seasons remind us, nothing stays the same forever. Trees let go of their leaves, the landscape transforms, and what once seemed bare eventually makes way for new growth.

Perhaps we can notice and learn something from nature. We too can change, grow and do something new.

Sometimes change begins with looking inwards. Becoming aware of the patterns, beliefs and experiences that have been quietly shaping our lives.

As Carl Jung reminds us, when we bring the unconscious into consciousness, we create the possibility of choice.

We are not destined to keep repeating the same patterns. With awareness comes understanding, and with understanding comes the opportunity to do things differently.

Just as the seasons change, so can we. 🌿

Yesterday, the ponies and I had the privilege of co-hosting a special day for like-minded therapists, alongside my colleagues Alice, and Norma
Four Elements Psychotherapy who was my “horse person” for the day.

Our day began by gathering at the lovely The Broch Cafe in Strathyre before heading out to explore the beautiful surroundings and the magic of this special place.

It felt particularly fitting to come together on 31st October, Samhain – a time traditionally associated with the turning of the seasons, endings and beginnings, and the threshold between what has been and what is yet to come.

We shared a taster of equine-assisted therapy, where we explored boundaries, connection and communication through time with the horses. Through simple, experiential activities, we considered what boundaries mean, how we communicate them and how connection can be created without words.

There were moments of reflection, gentle challenges, heart hugs and opportunities to explore transitions – what we hold on to, what we release and what we are ready to welcome in.
A day of slowing down, sharing, learning and connecting with one another, with nature and with the horses.

I feel very grateful to everyone who joined us and brought their own curiosity, openness and willingness to explore.

No photos from yesterday, but here one of Robin being Robin.

The ponies have had rugs on to offer some protection with the storms we have experienced in recent days.
No driving rain and high winds so rugs off.
I thought the first thing they would do is have a roll in the mud, but Ted and Robin went for a paddle in the puddle instead.
