Our recent workshop with Brooke Medicine Eagle was a resounding success! Brooke came to give us the news that Love is the greatest force on Earth. She taught us the Art of Fierceness , and tender Connection.
Brooke Medicine Eagle is One who embodies her wise teachings and lives her words. I worked through the horses in a new way, a way that was immediate with Life.
We danced, we sang, and we engaged with the Herd. We walked the Beauty Road to the Crackstone and honoured Her, our ancestors and the bones of the Earth.
Deep Gratitude to Brooke, to all our lovely participants … and to the HeartShore Herd under the Big Sky 🙏.
We will work again together …

Wise elders Brooke Medicine Eagle and Dawn Oakley Smith invite you into the the healing presence of the natural world - the circle, the land, the horses. Coming back into the profound intelligence of communion with the the Circle of Life begins by first connecting deeply with yourself.

Sometimes grief cannot be described in human words. Sometimes it's too painful to name it. Horses don't require us to speak, they hear us - they hear you. We are running a beautiful workshop this September, exploring the very nature of grief with the guidance and gentle support of the Heartshore Herd.

*New blog post* With our last Horse Dance workshop of the year in mind, Dawn Oakley-Smith and Dawn Morgan reflect on the transformative properties of something we all go through at different stages in our lives: Grief. Western culture may still be slow to find a place for it, but we embrace it and warmly invite you to join us.

This is a photo taken by Natasha Scott, mother of Dylan, one of our dearest clients and greatest supporters. It’s an image that captures the meeting of Tai Pan and the newest addition to the Heartshore Herd, Oak, a Clydesdale. He arrived yesterday from Wales. We are looking forward to his sweetness and kindness blossoming here with us and we know he will have so much to offer - welcome Oak-who-was-Diesel

I visited The Island Riding Centre on the Isle of Wight today, with Marnie Rose from The Garden Classroom charity, and met Paul and Louise, the incredibly kind and generous owners of Island Riding. We discussed some very exciting upcoming collaborations between HeartShore, The Garden Classroom and Island Riding. Deep gratitude to All, and especially the horses.

A sense of the earth awakening with Spring showing herself brings us hope, and we look forward to warmer weather, and to seeing old friends and welcoming new acquaintances to Heartshore.

We have some beautiful workshops taking place this year - workshops to cleanse, to awaken, to nurture and to find a true sense of self. Let the horses be your guide.

Many of us will be looking for something to counter-balance what we've been through - what we are going through in this time. Only turn to Nature to find a sense of peace, of one's self, of comfort, calm and belonging - the way back home. If you are searching, we invite you to join us this Summer for the Equine-Assisted Soul Experience.

*New Blog Post* Continuing on from our first excerpt from Dawn's book, The Empowered Herd, Dawn tells the story of Paris, a horse who was not allowed the freedom to live naturally or to socialise with other horses, and who suffered greatly as a result. If there is anything this time has taught us as a species, it is the importance of connection - for all sentient beings. https://www.heartshorehorses.com/post/the-empowered-herd-the-story-of-paris
