Coalescence & Completion
“”I feel a lightness in my being which feels pretty consistent and whereas I have in the past felt a kind of vulnerability to overwhelm, right now overwhelm feels quite far off, far away, almost as if I can’t feel it in my system in the way that I might have done in the past.
That sounds like a sort of slightly odd way of describing something but I’m not saying that the sort of potential to be in overwhelm has gone by any means I suspect but it does feel like there’s a robustness in me or a resourced-ness. It feels like I feel more resourced and I feel a lightness and I feel much more aware of all my thoughts and feelings and it’s almost as if it feels like there’s very little that I’m identified with.
I’m managing to hold myself in what arises and just allowing it to arise and pass which is really helping me stay in a place of an open heart.””
Horse as Mirror
Horses demonstrate how to artfully hold the tension between our wounds & our grace so that, over time, we may show up freely; energetically, spiritually, physically - medicinally - in service to others.
Horses don’t need us to tell them what to do, where to stand, or how to behave; they teach us how to fine tune our depths of vision, to listen more deeply with our hearts, to engage more openly - to be more in the present moment.
As we ride even further into our partnership with Horse, relinquish the need to lead, mount, or manipulate entirely, we give them a voice and a platform, allow them to open up.
When we cease to force an outcome and relinquish all preconceived ideas of what should happen, or what I, he, or she needs to look like, act like, or be like, we allow ourselves for a moment to be both Human and part of a greater tapestry of life.
Horses invite us into being both Human and Creator of our own reality - at the same time.
What, then, is the most we can open to the wisdom of Life that is available to us - through communing with Horse?
Horse as transformational ally
Horses are master code holders of the air in this multi-versal, living library of Life, just as are the cetaceans master code holders of the waters.
Embodying perfect equilibrium with the ability to flow between the form of the illustrious masculine and the formlessness of the luminous feminine, as well as being able to engage and disengage their nervous systems without holding on to any residual imprints*, they are true masters of keeping the energy alive.
This ability to weave the polarities naturally gives rise to the work of Horse Constellations (Systemic Constellations with Horses), whereby their presence helps to facilitate this dance so very accurately; bringing to light to both the inner and outer movements required for us to find the next best steps on our Path Home.
From the moment we begin working with Horses, from harmonising our Heartbeats, our emotions and dropping us into a state of deep presence, they enable us to find and create space and capacity within ourselves, or to significantly break inner ground to do this work. They help us entrain to our truest path - to develop the union mystica within.
*Provided they aren’t imprinted adversely by humans
“Harriet, thank you from the bottom of my open heart. I’ve spent most of my long life trying to achieve what I achieved under your guidance over six months - trying to find my way back to the experiences of presence I had as a child. You are quite brilliant!”
The Herd
For this very unique retreat, we are working with a very unique herd of horses. Horses that know they have a voice - and that their voices are valued and heard. Each equine Soul beautifully self-expressed.
For this retreat, we have the incredible opportunity to work with, study and learn from these six Spanish and Portuguese horses, who represent the fluidity, power and presence of the essence of Horse - along with the elements, the wild and other domestic animals that choose to show up.
This retreat is pitched at energy mastery level; ie, it is for those who are confident and capable of navigating their own energy body, taking accountability for their own processes and palpating energies of the ‘Other’ without necessarily any physical contact. This, therefore, requires a certain level of commitment to Self, clarity of field and cultivated (active) presence.
This retreat has been put together in devotion to Horse Spirit. In devotion to furthering the connection to our inner Selves. In devotion to Life Herself.
“The humble Horse reflects the depth and breadth of the Human Soul.”
my story
Throughout lifetimes of working with horses, I have learned that the more refined we are in our conversations with them, the more the subtler aspects of ourSelves have the chance to be heard. Horses with a freedom of spirit and a soundness of mind join us willingly on our journey to Energy Mastery.
It is possible to “mirror” the herd, playing the Alpha, discovering what it feels like to lead from behind, to support, to guide with our energy field, to “ask” with our ears, our hands and our hearts. Horses are able to reflect back to us where our weaknesses are within this sandbox; they can tell us about our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual capabilities - and of course, how balanced we are; down to the most nuanced of muscles and tendons - and where we carry tension (trauma) within our bodies.
We also know that Horse can be an ally; physically and emotionally, harmonising our heart-beats to a regular pitch and calming our nervous systems, helping us to taste a more coherent and unified energy field.
Having been through my own initiatory journey with, catalysed and supported by my own horses, from childhood to present day, I guide and facilitate experiences for clients willing and ready to make the changes necessary to grow in alignment with their greater selves through the compassionate eyes of someone who has walked that path. Albeit horses embody beauty and majesty in their appearance and essence, don’t be fooled that their ability to invite us onto new creative pathways isn’t incredibly potent, powerful, present - and more often than not - deeply provocative!

the co-host
Psychological Counselor & Personal Coach in the Art of Living & Horse Wisdom, Rumana Hossain works with her herd of 6 horses at Horse Experience Ibiza.
With a life-long love for horses, she enjoys English and Spanish Dressage in a gentle manner - motivating the horse to cooperate, training young horses, correcting problematic horses and Natural Horsemanship.
Through daily contact, cohabitation, and working with her own as well as many other wonderful horses, she has truly come to understand how diverse horses are, how individual their personalities are and how much more one can gain and learn when we are willing to accept and respond to these different personalities.
What deeply impresses her is that horses are overall gentle, generous, open-minded, helpful, forgiving and simply friendly beings that, when given space and shown respect, have a brilliant capacity to understand people.
“In all my projects, the focus is on the connection between horse and human and on recognizing the horse as an independent, free, and highly sensitive being that can give us humans so much beauty, and can equally be a good friend and teacher.”
the venue
Ibiza’s legendary magnetism is a result of its location, geology and history - and serves to name the island as one of the top three most powerful energetic vortices on the planet. High-vibrational, Earth-acupuncture points such as these help us to root, centre and to rise up as creator beings. With a profound impact on human consciousness, meditation, or dropping into the liminal space - yet through the body - on the island never feels too challenging!
The north of Ibiza is particularly beautiful, with its free spirits, local markets, natural beauty and crystalline light and attracts a huge number of creatives from Europe and further afield. On these iron-rich, red soils (which the Phoenicians knew to hold magickal properties and to this day locals still use as talismen) between Sant Joan and Portinatx, dry stone terraces and wild herbs echo down the valley away from the sea to the north, into our partner yard and stables for this special retreat.
The accommodation
For this special retreat, we have selected a very special, 400 year old Ibizencan country house with a dance studio, an outdoor workspace, a Mediterranean garden and a swimming pool, situated in the country on the northside of the island near San Miguel. The house provides single and double rooms for guests up to 10 people. Just a few kilometers from the venue (10 min. by car), you will find one of the most lovely beaches of Ibiza.

“A weekend of connecting with the wisdom & healing power of horses. Horses communicate through their emotional energy, so you have to get in touch with your own emotional energy to connect with the horses. Feels like the first step on my spiritual journey with Horse, thank you, Harriet.”

This retreat is not for
Those unwilling to be proven wrong
Those looking for a one-size fits all plan
Those wishing to stay out of body, or in the false bliss state
Those unable to self-regulate one’s nervous system after being activated (integration time is scheduled into the program)
Those unwilling to do the personal work required of themselves, or really take accountability, in order to recognise the triggers and integrate the shifts that will take place
Those who would rather be “spiritual” than Human (this is an active container, that requires you to be present and in your body)
“I am so grateful for the time you have given me on this journey called life, it is definitely the time to tap into spirituality, deepen our connection to the earth, nature and all her creatures. ”
‘It is as if I removed a big blockage from above that was limiting me in every experience of playfulness, lightness and so on… I would definitely recommend Harriet, YES!!! She can see what needs to be seen in order to shift every pattern and set us free!’ - Meryl, Trainee, Costa Rica
