Sample agenda – always customized to your goals and timeline

 

Morning: Arriving and Grounding

• A warm welcome and orientation, introduction to how horses mirror emotional states and support nervous system regulation, awareness, and healthy communication.

• Guided mindfulness or body-awareness practice, giving everyone a chance to arrive fully in their bodies before engaging more closely with the herd.

• First relational activity might include time in the pastures with the horses inviting participants to notice boundaries, body language, and their own stress patterns in the moment.
   

Late Morning: Communication and Trust

• Small-group activities where teams partner with one or more horses in non-riding exercises, focusing on nonverbal communication, and shared problem-solving as they move through simple, meaningful tasks together.

• Facilitated debrief circles that gently explore how experiences with the horses reflect workplace life. Themes could explore how staff ask for support, hold limits, respond to pressure, and stay connected with themselves and each other.
   

Midday: Nourishment and Rest

• Unhurried lunch break, with the option of a catered meal or bringing your own.

• Fridge, water, and hot and cold drinks are available, with space to relax, chat, or enjoy a few quiet moments on your own.
   

Afternoon: Integration and Resilience

• Quiet integration time that might include sitting under a tree, journaling after time with the herd, or a walk on the forest trails to deepen insight about stress, self-care, and boundaries.

• A closing group experience, such as a collaborative herd activity or intention-setting circle, to translate the day’s learning into self care tools.

• End-of-day check-out, personal takeaways and team commitment to sustaining well being beyond the retreat.
