THE HORSES

Guided Trail Riding Through Kensington

The retreat includes a guided trail ride through the park’s trails—an unhurried equestrian start intended to ground participants in the landscape before the restorative practices that follow.

THE PRACTICE

Meditation and Grounding Yoga

After the ride participants move into a healing gratitude meditation and a gentle yoga session beneath a large oak—slow, accessible practices aimed at breathing, relaxing and resetting.

THE COMMUNITY

Light Picnic to Close the Day

The day finishes with a shared charcuterie-style picnic supplied by the operator, a low-key time for community bonding and to settle into the restorative effects of the morning’s activities.
