Do you want more ease in your life? Learn how to let go of stressful thoughts and patterns and master challenges with ease. Unleash your true potential with horse-assisted coaching and “The Work” by Byron Katie!

Trainers Anna Kerckhoff de Sacchi and Habiba Pierau support you in shedding mental baggage, give you space to discover empowering perspectives, let you come (back) to yourself and your strengths, show you a way to be authentically you without bending and to live the connection to yourself and others with ease.

You can track down your recipes for happiness and implement them in your everyday life.

No experience with horses or The Work is required.

What you get
With The Work and horse-assisted coaching, you can get off the hamster wheel of negative thoughts and feelings. Experience new perspectives, resolve blockages, conflicts and deadlocked situations, strengthen your self-love and self-confidence. The path is cleared for change processes that you may have wanted for a long time.

You can soak up the sun and sea, enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Quinta and unwind!

Let’s be honest: what most of us want is to be happy!
Not just once in a while … we want happiness as our basic feeling.

And that’s exactly what this week is all about. You have the opportunity to identify and transform your limiting thoughts and beliefs in the various areas of your life. Here you can clear up the core issues in your life. The powerful contact and work with the horses will support you and show you in a simple way what is getting in the way of your relationships with others and with yourself and how you can resolve them.

What we do together
Together we identify what is stressing us out, making us sad, angry or somehow not really happy, and question the associated stressful thoughts using the process of The Work. This meditation, which leads you to yourself, can reveal completely surprising solutions. In this way, blockages can dissolve and you can find a new direction that is more in harmony with you.

You learn to step out of stress, burdens and conflicts in your private and/or professional life and find your way back to joy, vitality and self-love, to clarity and the ability to act.

Experiences that have robbed you of strength and energy and inhibited you or that were associated with shame can dissolve! You can also learn to get out of paralyzing thoughts about yourself such as “I can’t do this”, “I’m not good enough”, nagging comparisons with others, and return to your power through the process of The Work.
You can discover how you want to live your life and find your own personal guidance, your “happiness recipes”.

Experience the magic with horses
THE WORK and HORSE-SUPPORTED COACHING work “hand in hand”. The horse reacts intuitively to us and not to what we are trying to be. This gives you very clear feedback and allows you to recognize blocking patterns very directly and clearly. The contact and “playing” with the horses show you in a simple way what is getting in the way of your relationships with others and with yourself. You use THE WORK to clarify and resolve these issues. This gives you access to your own answers and your “recipe” – which you can put into practice immediately in contact with the horse. This direct “experience” is a lot of fun and has a lasting effect, because new action strategies are more firmly anchored in the brain through action than purely cognitive learning.

Anna shows the participants the basic “techniques” of communicating with the horse and supports you in all exercises to communicate with the horse.

Contents of the retreat

  • Dissolve blockages
  • Change of perspective
  • Review and “adapt” personal beliefs
