Mindfulness with the Herd
Heart to Heart Meditation with Donita Coburn-Amadio | April 23 • 5:30pm
Program Description
Experiential, ground-based sessions for individuals 16 or older seeking relaxation, connection, and quiet reflection. Through support, guided breath and gentle awareness, you will be invited to soften your body, follow your breath, and listen inwardly as you settle your mind and open your heart. From this grounded, calm place, connection begins. Horses respond to rhythm, energy, and authenticity. As your breath steadies and your heart finds coherence, your internal chemistry shifts—and a quiet exchange becomes possible. This is the alchemy of purposeful presence. A felt sense of connection. A shared calm. A heart centered meeting without effort or the pressure of words. No experience is needed. Bring your curiosity. Come as you are. This program is free and open to everyone. If you'd like to support our work, you'll have the opportunity to make a gift after checking out and completing your registration. Contributions help expand access to community wellness programs.

Program Policies
Registration Each participant must register individually. Completion of the registration form and required consent information is required prior to participation. Adult wellness sessions are offered as small group experiences to maintain a calm, supportive environment and allow meaningful interaction with the horses and the group. ⸻ Cancellations If you are unable to attend, please cancel your registration at least 24 hours in advance so that another participant may join. Due to limited group size, missed sessions cannot be credited toward future sessions. If Stable Strides Foundation must cancel a session due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, participants will be notified and reasonable efforts will be made to reschedule. ⸻ Nature of Adult Wellness Programs Adult wellness programs at Stable Strides Foundation are experiential sessions designed to support relaxation, reflection, emotional balance, and connection with nature through guided interaction with horses. Sessions are primarily ground-based and may include herd observation, mindful interaction with horses, nature walks with a horse, reflective exercises, or facilitated group discussion. While these experiences may positively support emotional wellbeing, they are therapeutic in nature but are not psychotherapy and do not replace licensed mental health care or clinical treatment. ⸻ Group Environment & Respect Participants are invited to engage at their own comfort level. Sharing within the group is always optional. Stable Strides Foundation is committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive, and supportive environment for all participants. Behavior that compromises the safety or wellbeing of participants, facilitators, or horses may result in dismissal from the session. ⸻ Safety & Appropriate Clothing Programs take place in a working barn environment and in the presence of horses. Participants must follow all safety guidelines provided by facilitators. Participants should wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor conditions and movement around horses.
