Experience Deep Healing and Spiritual Transformation with Horses
At Alignment, Equine Assisted Therapy & Learning, Adam Shereston offers a profound journey of healing, self-realisation and spiritual awakening through deep connection with horses. This experiential practice blends horse-assisted healing, equine facilitated learning, and trauma-informed equine therapy to nurture emotional balance, nervous-system regulation, and authentic connection.
Rooted in spiritual wellbeing, mindfulness, and nature-based learning, Adam’s approach weaves somatic awareness and spiritual presence to help seekers, creatives, and leaders worldwide reconnect with their true nature.
The work restores harmony to mind, body, and heart, inviting inner stillness, truth, and wholeness.
Drawing on more than 20 years of facilitation, horse whispering, and healing experience, Adam guides you to meet yourself honestly in the mirror of the herd, transforming fear into trust, challenge into insight and separation into belonging.
The Journey of Equine Assisted Awakening
What Happens During Equine Assisted Therapy?
True healing cannot be forced; it emerges when safety and trust are present.
In the presence of horses, hidden emotional patterns, such as control, over-giving or boundary confusion, often surface with compassion and clarity. This awareness marks the beginning of transformation.
Through mindful, ground-based interaction with the herd, Adam supports you in meeting what arises with curiosity and compassion.
You’ll learn to regulate your nervous system, honour the body’s wisdom, and soften perfectionism so your authentic self can lead.
Equine Assisted Therapy is about embodying truth in relationships, and allowing that truth to reshape your life.
The Path of Embodied Alignment
How does Equine Therapy Support Somatic and Spiritual Healing?
There are no formulas for genuine transformation, only presence.
Adam’s facilitation is grounded in safety, consent, trauma awareness and lived spiritual practice. Through reflective dialogue, gentle somatic exploration, and intuitive connection with horses, you’ll explore:
- Core wounds that disrupt connection and trust
- Limiting beliefs that keep the heart guarded
- Patterns of control, flight, or freeze that block vitality
- The balance between structure and surrender in healing
As awareness deepens, everyday life becomes a spiritual practice—each breath, boundary, and choice aligning more fully with love, truth, and freedom.
How Equine Mentorship Works
What to Expect from an Equine Mentorship Journey
At its heart, this is a spiritual and somatic mentorship through relationship with horses.
All sessions are ground-based (no riding) and unfold at a pace guided by your nervous system and intuitive readiness.
Through this process, you’ll learn to:
-Regulate from presence instead of pressure
-Transform emotional triggers into opportunities for repair
-Integrate spiritual insight into embodied action
-Build healthy boundaries and authentic communication
-Align choices and relationships with your soul’s deeper purpose
Every journey is unique. Whether you’re new to horses, experienced in therapy, or drawn to spiritual growth, Adam meets you exactly where you are, wherever you are in the world.
A Path of True Relationship
How do Horses Reflect Our Emotional and Spiritual Truth?
As spiritual and emotional awareness integrate, relationship becomes revelation.
Each encounter with a horse is a living conversation between souls, revealing truth through energy, emotion, and presence.
Adam’s role is not to define who you are but to help you listen, to your body, emotions, intuition, and the voice of Spirit.
Through this work, you begin to live and relate from your true self: open, grounded and free.
Through Equine Assisted Therapy, Adam walks beside you as you rediscover safety in your being, intimacy with life, and the joy of belonging, to yourself, to others and to the more-than-human world.
