Guided by horse intelligence and earth-based presence\, you’ll be supported to come home to your body\, deepen connection\, and listen to what’s true within you. \nThis is more than a retreat — it’s a practice in belonging: to ourselves\, to one another\, to the horses\, and to the earth. By slowing down to feel the truth in our bodies\, we can show up with courage\, curiosity\, kindness\, and care. Guided by horse wisdom and the lineage of Movement Medicine\, we explore the 21 Gateways as living commitments — Body\, Heart\, Mind; Past\, Present\, Future\, Fulfilment; Interconnection\, Realisation\, Earth; Air\, Fire\, Water\, Self\, Others\, Community; Ancestors\, Divine\, Yin\, Yang\, and the Great Mystery. \nWhat’s Included \n\nAccommodation in glamping tents\nNourishing meals\nDance facilitation\nCacao ceremony\nEquine assisted experiential learning & therapy sessions\nMindfulness practices\nSomatic practices\n\nThe Four Elements \n\nWater: Refreshing swims in the living medicine of the river\nFire: Evening circles around the ritual hearth for warmth\, sharing\, and song\nEarth: Somatic rewilding — grounded practices\, land art\, and conversation between dancer\, herd\, and earth\nWind: Stargazing and night sky medicine — cosmic witnessing\n\nMeet the Facilitators \nAnja Bock — A mother and lover of music\, dance\, and ceremony\, Anja weaves her lived experience in the healing arts into heart-centered\, grounded facilitation. She is a graduated Movement Medicine teacher\, deeply passionate about our Earth\, all our relations\, and bringing people together from all walks of life. \nCornelia Scholtz — Through Equine Assisted Experiential Learning and holistic approaches\, Cornelia supports your healing — cultivating awareness\, energy alignment\, and resilience with calm\, compassionate presence. She blends CBT\, mindfulness\, inner-child work\, and somatic therapy to deepen your connection with yourself and your horse. \nWhy Horses?\nHorses see beyond façades. They reflect our internal states with honesty\, allowing us to see ourselves more clearly. Combined with embodiment practices\, this connection forms a bridge between our inner world and these magnificent beings — not magic\, but profound connection\, accessible to all. \nAdd-On Program (Optional): Understanding Horse Behaviour & Horse-Human Communication — a science-based program exploring equine and human nervous systems through the lens of Polyvagal Theory. \n\nBlock 1: 21–28 August\nBlock 2: 1–7 September\n(Add-on blocks are self-catered)\n\nReady to Join?\nEmail: holistichorseacademysa@gmail.com (Cornelia Scholtz)\nPhone / WhatsApp: 072 712 4877 (Anja Bock)
