The Tao of Alchemy and Horses in Arnside
Six days of meditation with horses, yoga, shared meals and reflective practices at Sunnycote, between woodland and the sea.
Why it caught our eye
There is time to meet the horses quietly and be outdoors. Alongside these encounters, tea, music and shared meals offer different ways to pause and connect with the group.
About this experience
Spend six days in Arnside with Katherine Beaumont and the Meditate With Horses community. Based at Sunnycote, a Victorian house near woodland and the shore, this retreat brings meditation, gentle movement and time with rescue horses into a shared daily rhythm.
