THE POWER OF NOW

The Power of Now!
A Transformative Retreat for a New Beginning.

Forget resolutions....Start the Year with Intention and Presence.
As a new year dawns, many of us feel the call to slow down, connect deeply, and create space for true transformation. "The Power of Now" invites you to pause, reflect, and renew with purpose. This two-day non residential retreat is crafted for those who wish to emark on the new year with intentionality and mindfull connection, offering an experience that integrates yoga, equine wisdom, and the insights of Gestalt therapy.
Guided y the gentle presence of horses, we explore the subleties of the present moment and cultivate the art of self-awareness.
Our yoga sessions foster calm and inner strength, grounding us in the today while Gestalt principles help us to mindfully observe and embrace our feelings and patterns.
Every aspect of the retreat is designed to draw you into the "here and now" - where true change begins.
Operation Centaur, a BACP-accredited organization, ensures an atmosphere of support and professional guidance.
Practicioners seeking continuing (CPD) can also view this retreat as a path toward personal and professional growth, with each participant receiving a Certificate of Attendance.

Workshop Structure 
Each day provides a balance of guided equine sessions, yoga practice, and mindful reflection to support deeper insight and personal renewal. We welcome anyone ready to cultivate self-awareness, clarity, and resilience for the year ahead.
