09/06 | Summer Retreat – Presence in the Pasture

Presence in the Pasture:

Cultivating Quiet Mind and Open Heart in the Company of Horses and Nature

With Angel Batt, MSW, and Rev. Connie L. Habash, LMFT
(plus our two horse friends, Melody and Ruby!)

Saturday, September 6th, 2025- 9am-1pm
At BEYOND Liberty Equine Education and Horse Retirement Center
La Selva Beach, CA (near Santa Cruz)

Spend a day practicing Presence and learning from our horse friends and the natural surroundings. This is not about riding horses – it’s about Being. They are masters not only of Presence but keenly aware of energy and boundaries. The plants, trees, elements, and other present animals will deepen our understanding.

We’ll spend time consciously observing the horses and connecting with them, learning their Presence skills, enhancing awareness of energy and boundaries, and engaging in Ecotherapy on the intimate land of BEYOND Liberty.

Our day includes:

• Grounding, centering, and energy awareness practices
• Cultivation of Presence through connection with the horses and nature
• A Splash of Yoga/Conscious movement
• Writing and Journaling
• Ecotherapy practices
