Wildness is a necessity
— John Muir
In encounters with both humans and animals, sentient beings offer profound opportunities for growth, healing, and a deeper understanding of our world. At Congruence, the herd serves as invaluable teachers, imparting lessons in grounding, presence, resourcing, and sensory awareness. They guide us towards self-awareness and a deeper understanding of our lived experience.
Recognizing the vital role the horses play in human healing, we prioritize their well-being. Inspired by the Paddock Paradise system, we give them ample space for movement and mimic natural grazing behavior with free-choice hay. Our horses are nourished with organic whole foods for optimum nutrition, prioritizing a low-sugar, low-starch diet to support metabolic health. They are kept barefoot and receive regular trimming aimed at mimicking natural wear, fostering strong soft tissue akin to that found in the wild. Each member of the herd receives regular treatments to maintain optimal health across physical, etheric, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy bodies.
All of our offerings begin with an understanding of the mammalian nervous system. This foundational knowledge allows for effective communication with the herd, fostering mutual understanding and respect between humans and horses. By attuning to the rhythms of the nervous system, we create an environment where both species can engage in a shared language of safety, connection, and presence.
We believe our commitment to the welfare of our herd underscores the reciprocity in our interactions.
