A DAY WITH UNICORNS
There’s something about horses that never really leaves us.
For some, it began in childhood — a longing for a pony, horse posters on bedroom walls, or stopping at every paddock just to watch them.
For others, horses have always felt like peace, presence, freedom … or home.
And then there’s their smell…
A DAY WITH UNICORNS is a nourishing retreat created for those who feel called to spend meaningful time with horses (again).
WHAT TO EXPECT
Set in the peace and tranquillity that Highlands Centre For Healing is known for, this intimate day retreat offers space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the calming, grounding presence of our healing herd.
Through the day, we will gently explore :
- meeting and spending time with the herd
- grooming and quiet horse connection
- guided mindful practices with the horses
- walking with horses in nature
- nervous system support and grounding
- reflection, rest and shared space
This is not a riding day, training clinic or horse workshop.
It is a gentle wellness experience centred around presence, connection and BE-ing with horses.
No horse experience is necessary — only a love of horses, curiosity, or a longing to (re)connect.

ABOUT THE HERD
The herd at HCFH is currently made up of 15 members, all unique, all kind, all knowing.
They are not “therapy tools”; rather they are deeply intuitive sentient beings who each bring their own unique presence, wisdom and sensitivity to this work.
They react and respond to the energy of our thoughts, words and feelings … and believe me when I say they are lightning quick and lightyears ahead of us!
Individual members have been with Soo for up to 21 years, with most of the herd a united group for 11 years. They feel safe, heard, are given daily choices and love supporting people. That said, their choices include involvement, so any any given day they can say ‘not today’.
Together with the land, Gundungurra Country, the herd creates a profoundly grounding space in which people slow down, soften, reconnect and are able to step into simply BE-ing.
