About this Retreat
The Heart of Meditation with Horses
Ooljee together with Ginebra are our rescue horses who are living with us here at our retreat centre Ooljee is a remarkable gelding known for his profound ability to connect with humans on a deep, emotional level. His serene and calming presence is a cornerstone of the "Meditation with Horses" program. From a young age, Ooljee exhibited a gentle and intuitive nature. His unique blend of calm energy and perceptive sensitivity made him an ideal candidate for therapeutic and meditative practices. Trained in natural horsemanship, Ooljee has developed a remarkable ability to sense and respond to human emotions, making him an exceptional guide for those seeking mindfulness and inner peace. In the "Meditation with Horses" program, Ooljee plays a pivotal role. Participants often describe their experiences with him as transformative, noting how his presence helps them to ground themselves and find clarity. Ooljee's intuitive responses to human touch and emotion allow individuals to feel understood and supported, facilitating a deeper meditative state and emotional release. Ooljee's interactions with humans foster a unique form of communication that transcends words, teaching participants the value of presence, empathy, and mutual respect. Whether standing quietly beside someone in a field or gently nudging them towards mindfulness, Ooljee embodies the principles of the program through his actions and demeanor. Beyond his work in meditation, Ooljee enjoys a peaceful life on our eco farm , spending his days grazing and forming close bonds with both his equine companions and human caretakers. Ooljee's story is a testament to the healing power of horses and the profound impact they can have on human lives. Through his gentle guidance and unwavering presence, Ooljee continues to touch hearts and minds, helping individuals find peace and connection in the stillness of meditation.
