SPIRITUAL ALIGNMENT
WITH HORSES
A RETREAT FOR
DEEP HEALING AND AWAKENING
WORLDWIDE
Spiritual Awakening Guided by Horses
Step away from the noise of life and enter a space of stillness, clarity and truth. Spiritual Alignment with Horses is a powerful retreat with Adam Shereston where horses become living mirrors for your soul, reflecting the truth beneath your patterns, pain and defenses. In the quiet presence of these sentient beings, you are invited to soften, listen and remember who you really are.
What Is Spiritual Alignment with Horses
Spiritual Alignment with Horses is a unique blend of equine-assisted learning, spiritual guidance, somatic awareness and time in nature. Rather than learning techniques to “fix” yourself, you are invited into a direct experience of presence. Horses respond honestly to your nervous system, not to your story, and this reflection reveals where you are in fear, control or collapse, and where you are in openness, trust and truth.
With compassionate facilitation from Adam, you begin to see these patterns clearly, not as something wrong with you, but as adaptations your body created to survive. From here, a deeper alignment becomes possible, where your mind, body and spirit reconnect and begin to move as one.


Why Horses Are Such Powerful Teachers
Horses are prey animals whose survival depends on reading energy, intention and emotion in their environment. They feel what is real beneath the words. When you step into their field, they naturally reflect your inner state. If you are anxious, shut down or dissociated, they will often show it. If you are grounded, honest and present, they relax, connect and trust.
This honest feedback is not judgment, it is a blessing. With the right support, the responses of the horses help you:
-
Notice what your nervous system is doing, even when your mind is confused
-
Recognize old survival patterns that keep you in fear or separation
-
Feel what it is like to stand in your body with more presence, softness and truth
-
Experience connection that is not based on performance, but on authenticity
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for you if you feel called to deep inner work, spiritual awakening and embodied healing. You may be:
-
In a period of transition, loss or upheaval, searching for a deeper ground of truth
-
A sensitive soul who has always felt “too much” or “not enough” in the world
-
A seeker on the path of awakening who wants to bring your spirituality into your body and daily life
-
A therapist, coach, healer or creative who holds space for others and needs a space for your own healing and alignment
No previous experience with horses, yoga or spiritual practice is necessary. What matters is your willingness to be honest, open and gently guided. All sessions with horses are on the ground, not ridden, and are held with care for both human and horse.


What You Will Experience
Across the retreat you will move through a rhythm of structured sessions and spacious time to integrate. A typical retreat includes:
-
Morning yoga and meditation to ground your body and awaken presence
-
Guided Equine Assisted Learning sessions with Adam and the horses
-
Somatic awareness practices to help your nervous system feel safe and resourced
-
Group sharing circles held in compassion and confidentiality
-
Time in nature to walk, rest, reflect and listen
-
Gentle evening practices such as breathwork, contemplation or devotional music
Each session with the horses is carefully facilitated. You may be standing with a horse in silence, leading them on a rope, or witnessing their behavior from the field. Every interaction carries meaning, and together we explore what the horse is reflecting in you, where your body is bracing or collapsing, and where a new way of being wants to emerge.
What You May Receive
-
A deeper sense of safety in their body and nervous system
-
Insight into core patterns of fear, abandonment or control, and how to gently release them
-
A clearer connection with God, Source or divine presence in a way that feels real and lived
-
More self-trust, self-compassion and inner authority
-
A felt experience of belonging, to yourself, to life and to something greater
This work is not about spiritual bypassing or quick fixes. It is about truth. It is about letting the body speak, letting the horses reflect, and allowing a higher presence to meet what you have carried alone.
