Short Programs 

(Please note: where necessary, the following can be changed without prior notice)

Our Programs have been developed for private and corporate needs

No Horse experience is required to take part
Any age group: from toddlers to over 100 -as long as you can breath and as long as your heart is beating :) -
We are at your side to assist you to unlearn the image you have created of yourself and really get to know you: at peace and able to experience life as the beautiful adventure it is
The best investment you can do is in your personal development at the side of Horses!

After 20 years of assisting adults to find themselves again, first in Noordhoek then in Riversdale and in George, in 2019 we opened the Wellness Village in Stilbaai with the aim to help children to stay as whole and genial as they are and assist their parents to understand how to allow it to happen. What we underestimated was that an ego-driven parent is mostly unwilling to allow a child to stay whole and so the process of 'moulding' the young soul into a dominated by the ego reality starts.

All the programs - the short ones as in this page or the Breakthrough, the Experiential Learning Leadership Program, the Apprenticeship or the Retreats and Workshop - have all the same aim: to help people to remember a part of themselves which is One with the whole around. The stronger the Ego, and with it the believe that 'we know it all', the longer the process can be

The ultimate goal? Peace through the understanding that all is One and we are part of that wholeness
