Ground yourself in the moment and enter a deep relaxation state supported by horses’ healing energy.
We’re pleased to invite you to join this 1.5-2-hour relaxing and awareness-deepening exercise together with Els and her horses, Charlie and Hera, in Overijse. We'll practice grounding, presence in the moment, relaxing, and self-regulation with and around horses. The set of meditative and sensory awakening exercises in the peaceful natural environment aims to support our mental and emotional health, to become more resilient, rested, attentive, and connected with ourselves.
Ecotherapy blended with equine-assisted mindfulness time supports our well-being, strengthens focus, and helps us achieve a profound, relaxed state of body and mind that lasts and supports regular stress management.
What to expect:
A guided group meditation inspired by the horses
Meditative sensory exercise focused on the sense of touch
Mindful exercise on conscious interaction with animals
Guided self-awareness and self-regulation exercises
Individual guided moment with horses
We do have 2 different experiences prepared for you: a more thorough and structured Relaxation Workshop, and a more loose in form mid-week evening Relaxation Experience.

About the guide:
Wera (Weronika Kontykiewicz-Biel) is a Well-being Coach, Holistic Healing Practitioner, and Hayashi Reiki Level IV Master, based in Brussels. She has been connected to the equine world for more than 26 years. Currently, she focuses on designing mindful, healthy, and efficient work environments and supporting people with mental health issues and in a state of burnout. Wera facilitates harmonious living, natural relaxation practices, and human emotional healing journeys through the holistic, traditional Japanese and Tibetan methods. In her work, she explores the equine's natural healing powers through hippotherapy and Equine Assisted Therapeutic Exercises to get a better picture of how do horses help us stay grounded and heal on many levels, in the current fast-paced times, even more than ever before. On top of that, in 2024, she began a welfare and mindfulness project for athletes and riders in the equine industry (Equine Symbiosis Educational Programs).

Feedback from participants in previous editions:
“Weronika's work with the herd has been valuable for me. They helped me understand something simple, yet profound: you can communicate with horses—you can simply ask them. Through her guidance as a healer, I've experienced the interconnectedness of all living beings.” - Jennifer, OSTA
