Equine-Assisted Outdoor Retreat

This summer, we welcomed a wonderful group to our farm for a day designed to foster connection, adventure, and renewal. Through gentle yoga, guided climbing with Escalade Outaouais, time spent in the healing presence of our horses, and delicious meals prepared with care, the day unfolded in a rhythm that allowed each guest to unwind and reconnect—with themselves, with each other, and with the beauty of nature around them.

At Venturing Hills Farm, we offer more than just an escape; we create space for meaningful experiences, where every activity is woven with intention. Our days here are about sharing stories, quiet moments, and laughter, inviting you to slow down and be fully present in an unforgettable setting.

Equine-Assisted Yoga & Meditation Experience

This fall, we took a bold step and hosted the first-ever equine-guided yoga and meditation session in the Gatineau/Ottawa region.

We welcomed participants into our spacious indoor arena, where the horses were already waiting, creating a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. Bonfires burned throughout the evening to keep everyone warm, adding to the cozy, relaxed vibe.

Healer Marie-Lune led a guided meditation, with the horses present to help everyone ground themselves and connect deeply to the moment.

After the meditation, we paused to take in the stunning sky as the sun set, filling the space with a quiet beauty.

We then flowed into a soothing yoga session, accompanied by calming music, guided by Laurie.

The evening wrapped up with tarot card readings and tea from La Fée des Bois, offering a final moment of reflection and connection. It was a unique and memorable experience, combining the healing power of horses, nature, and mindfulness.
