Equine Therapy
A full day of equine therapy with lunch provided. This can either be booked as a 121 experience or as part of a group. Both types are extremely valuable in their own way. This experience is a deep dive into the psyche and the shadow. We use horses as our mirrors to show us the parts of us that control us and bring them into the light. Using meditation, shadow work and simple, intentional, mirroring techniques we can make profound emotional shifts and lasting changes to the psychological patterns that are holding us back. Horses are very present and do not hold any social or mental agenda. This provides a simple structure and container within which we can connect and become vulnerable in a safe environment. In becoming vulnerable we can create enough unconscious opening to pour the love in and change internal messages. Inclusions Accommodation - Comfort Guest room available for 121 participants.

Tarot and Tea Ceremony
At Full Circle Experiences we know how to combine the real-time mechanics of the psyche with grace, aesthetics, and faith in the mystery. Tarot and tea ceremony is just another exquisitely delivered experience that will leave you feeling that you have pin-pointed a deeper part of yourself that was knocking at the door to be seen and heard. It will hold a mirror up to how you are holding yourself back and how you need to grow. Like the cacao ceremony, the tea ceremony is important to humans because it marks life's essential moments. They reflect our beliefs, hopes, traditions, culture, and spirituality. A ceremony can help to show people they are united and that they belong. They can motivate us, stimulate our emotions, and prompt memories. The traditional Chinese Tea ceremony with ceremonial grade tea is a very graceful and fluid ceremony that encourages a dreamy meditative state. We then move into the territory of the tarot reading. You can opt for traditional or Jungian tarot where we will explore archetypal elements of your current psyche, actions, relationships, and environment. You will leave feeling refreshed and relaxed with a new sense of purpose and clarity. Inclusions What's Included 🥤 Drink
Cacao Ceremony
Book a woodland cacao ceremony with your special group to connect with nature, yourself and each other. A two hour magical immersive experience of movement through the archetypes, drumming and meditation with mother cacao as your guide.
