Meditate with Horses Ltd Avis 97

My experience at Livno Stables was truly special.
Katherine is a wonderful woman—nurturing, kind, funny, and delightfully quirky. She is absolutely fabulous at what she does and creates such a safe and welcoming space for everyone.
Perry and Nikko were incredibly kind and patient, and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Their love and care for both the horses and their guests shine through in everything they do.
A special mention to Marko, Perry's son, who is such a lovely young man. The trail rides with him were an absolute highlight of the week.
From meditating with the horses, yoga, and guided meditations to swimming in beautiful lakes and riding through the stunning countryside, every moment was nurturing, grounding, and deeply restorative.
It was a beautiful experience that allowed me to reconnect with myself, nature, and the horses. I absolutely loved every minute of it and left feeling refreshed, peaceful, and full of gratitude. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for a truly special and healing experience.

We had a great weekend. The horses Yogi and Ellie were magical. Yogi used to put his foot up against the gate when we were leaving the field. He didn’t want us to go and I didn’t want to leave them either.

Katherine has a very special set-up there in a beautiful place called Arnside near the sea. We meditated with the horses, did shadow work with Katherine, soul work with Karen and yoga with Emily and also managed to get a forest, sea and hill walk in. We also did a summer solstice commemoration. Participation entirely up to us.

The group was special too. It was like home from home. I even managed a nap on one of the afternoons. A nourishing and memorable retreat and I will go again.

The leader was very experienced in running this retreat which really showed. To benefit from a retreat set outside good weather is key, which we had. The horses were great, wanted to interact with us, there were only 2 horses, we were a big group, so more horses would be good.
The food was delicious even when cooked by those on the retreat. The rooms comfortable. An enjoyable experience, felt peaceful & detoxifying. Yoga was excellent, would have liked more. Not able to wild swim unfortunately.

I had the pleasure of a retreat experience with Katherine, the wonderful Yogi and Ellie and the other women on the retreat. What I loved the most was having a direct experience in nature. The company and care of the horses, the connection with everyone present, and the location were perfect. I loved the food and the activities, especially the foraging, which had built upon my own knowledge. A memorable few days!

An incredibly rewarding experience; greater than I could have imagined. Katherine puts together the perfect itinerary; creating an ebb and flow between valuable inner work, relaxation and fun! An amazing bond forms organically between like minded women coming together, seeking growth. It quickly evolves into a safe and trusted space to share, support and love one another. The horses are beautiful; gentle and at ease with everyone and clearly adore the attention they receive. Grooming (optional), was a first time experience for me and I enjoyed the closeness and exchange of trust. What blew me away, was whilst we were meditating in the paddock, the horses joined in; standing right at the edge of our circle, still and mesmerised; fully immersed in the moment! I wish to add that I have immense gratitude for the presence of Karen at the retreat .... A beautiful woman and multi-gifted; more of which I have yet to explore now that I have left the retreat behind. She draws on much of her shamanic expertise and practice, to gift us with her teachings and guides us lovingly to help us break through those things which block or hold us back. Her sincerity and love allowed me a special space to openly share and release that which I have not been able to do with anyone else .... I am forever grateful. This whole experience is totally unique in the way it allows us to fully open up, break through barriers and leave feeling uplifted and filled with love! To any woman looking for a 'reset' I highly recommend it!

I didn’t come with a lot of expectations but left feeling so much trust and clarity. The food and the host are amazing, and the horses are so gentle and with such beautiful healing energy. Highly recommend it!

I attended Catherine’s Meditation with Horses retreat recently, and I’m still struggling to find the words to describe just how extraordinary the experience was.

From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into a space that was nurturing, uplifting, and deeply supportive. The combination of meditation, nature, and the gentle wisdom of the horses created something truly magical. It was both profoundly moving and surprisingly joyful – there was plenty of laughter alongside the deeper moments of reflection and connection.

Catherine is a remarkable facilitator. Her warmth, intuition, knowledge, and genuine care for every participant shine through in everything she does. She creates an environment where people feel safe to open up, reconnect with themselves, and experience real transformation.

One of the unexpected gifts of the retreat was meeting such wonderful people. There was a real sense of connection, kindness, and shared experience that made the whole weekend even more special.

The horses themselves were incredible teachers. Their presence, sensitivity, and ability to mirror what is happening beneath the surface was both humbling and enlightening. The insights I gained through spending time with them will stay with me for a very long time.

This retreat was far more than I expected. It was healing, inspiring, empowering, and genuinely life-changing. I left feeling lighter, calmer, more connected to myself, and with a renewed sense of purpose and peace.

If you’re considering attending one of Catherine’s retreats, don’t hesitate. It is a truly special experience that I cannot recommend highly enough.

It is not often in life we get to have a truly transformative experience and that is exactly what this retreat is.

Katherine and her team treat each guest with such love and kindness that your soul cannot help but heal.

Book your retreat, let go of all expectations and step into something truely special!

This was a remarkable and totally lovable experience for me. The venue is really homely and comfortable set in a beautiful village with views of sea and hills. The combination of being with the horses, the therapeutic work, the good food and the company of wonderful women is fabulous. I went with a lot of stuff up to the surface and the weekend helped me name, feel and process what was there. A powerful time. Being in a field of buttercups with soft sea air, horses and women was dreamy. Thank you Katherine!

​I recently attended the Meditate with Horses weekend retreat in Arnside, and to say it was incredible would be an understatement. It was a transformative experience from start to finish.
​The schedule was balanced, with grounding meditation sessions both with and alongside the beautiful horses, as well as peaceful moments of foraging in nature and evening yoga. Every activity felt intentional and restorative. The optional extra of a Lomi Lomi massage was beyond words.
​Here are a few things that made this weekend so special:
​Katherine, beautifully supported by gorgeous Emily, were incredible. They created a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment for everyone.
​We were spoiled with delicious, nutritious, and wholesome food throughout the weekend.
​I was surrounded by a wonderful group of caring, like-minded women. Sharing our life experiences in such an open, supportive space was profoundly moving.

​If you are looking for a place to reconnect with yourself, nature, and a beautiful community, I cannot recommend this retreat enough. And if you have the option of a Lomi Lomi massage, grab it with both hands! I am now saving for the horse riding trip in Bosnia!

What a beautiful part of the UK, mixed with the glorious landscape, being with nature, two fabulous horses, Lovely Katherine guiding us in gentle meditation and learning to listen to the horses. Amazing this was something I have been wanting to experience for a while on my wish list. My wish came true in the Silent Healing with Horses Retreat.
All the staff were 110%, the food wow, Ive never eaten such nurtriental foods and was a little apprehensive but Katherine, nothing was a problem or trouble. The group was amazing and I felt so safe in their company.
I was concerned about the silence, but the meditation morning sessions were so bonding, letting the horses do their thing, allowing them to leave or join on their terms was pure love connection.
Both Ellie and Yogi, what superstars. I cant recommend Katherine's Silent Healing with Horses enough.....so ditch your mobile and head out to the Lake District you with be amazed at the peace, calmness of being with horses and nature. I felt so calm , rested and peaceful when I returned. Thank you Katherine, Alexandra Rose, Ellie and Yogi💜💜💜

Meditate with horses held at Livno stables in Bosina& Hetzegovin. It was my 1st holiday on my own, meeting up with a small goup of people of various ages. The week succeeded to be much better than I anticipated.
Livno is situated between mountains and woodlands. The perfect tranquil & peaceful place to hold a retreat in a field were horses roam.
Morning time was yoga and meditation which was gentle, mind provoking, and meditation with horses with Katherine who is qualified in all 3. Connecting with horses was was a great way to understand thier behaviour and needs.
Percia & Nico own Livno stables are both caring and passionate in horse welfare are expert riders.
Riding lessons ensure their pupils are adequate in western riding and able to ride through the local woods,river and fields.
Lunch and evening meals are provided made using locally grown produce which are delicious.
It has been a non stop week and included an evening of entertainment and a visit to the wild horses which was a fantastic sight thanks to Percia.

I attended a week long silent meditation retreat. Katherine is an expert and empathetic teacher in guiding meditation with horses. And the benefit of a silent retreat and a digital detox cannot be underestimated in slowing down and being mindful of everyday activities, mindful eating, mindful walking.

As a student and teacher of yoga and meditation, I found Katherine's meditation in nature with the horses exceptional in restoring homeostasis with the benefit of synchronising with the horses nervous system, which Katherine explains as entrainment with the horses nervous system.

The food is vegetarian, delicious and super healthy.

Overall, I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone and every body in reviving body, mind and soul.

My 10 year old daughter and I visited recently for Meditate with Horses. It was a truly wonderful and uplifting experience. Katherine is fantastic, the horses amazing and such a beautiful location. Would highly recommend.

I recently attended the Meditate with Horses Silent Retreat and had a truly beautiful, grounding experience. Katherine holds the space with such calm, presence and genuine care that you feel safe and welcome from the very beginning.

Everything felt very well held, natural and supportive, allowing for real rest and reconnection with yourself and nature.

The cottage in Arnside is absolutely lovely — peaceful, and cosy. The horses, the nourishing food, meditations, a wonderful massage... they all naturally supports slowing down and turning inward.

I can warmly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking deep rest, silence and time in nature — a space to slow down, be present, and reconnect, in the quiet company of horses.

As a 56-year-old professional on a spiritual quest, I have attended many wellbeing retreats over the years, but this silent retreat was genuinely exceptional from beginning to end.

From the moment I booked, everything felt organised, thoughtful, and welcoming. I was asked to download an app which was incredibly easy to use and contained all the information I needed before arriving. What struck me immediately was the sense of care and community — which created a lovely feeling of connection before we had even arrived.

On arrival, I was warmly welcomed and felt at ease. The food throughout the retreat was outstanding — deeply nourishing, healthy, and thoughtfully prepared. I could genuinely feel the effect of the nutrition on both body and mind, and it left me feeling well-supported as I entered the journey of silence.

The teachers were gentle, grounded, thorough, and truly inspiring. They created a space that felt safe, sincere, and deeply restorative. The silence itself became profoundly healing.

I left the retreat feeling refreshed, renewed, clear-hearted, and inspired. On the journey home I felt incredibly light — almost as though I were floating on a cloud. I have taken a great deal away from this experience, and I will most certainly be returning for the Tao of Alchemy retreat.

A truly beautiful and transformative experience.

I’ve just come back from a weekend during which I did a meditation session with Katherine and her horses. It was incredible: moving, restorative, heart healing, uplifting.
Katherine is a very gifted woman: clearly not only a brilliant horsewoman but also an extraordinary people person.
I recommend these sessions to anybody in need of a bit of peace in their lives, or who may benefit from remembering how to breathe.

This was an incredible experience, my first time and I would total recommend it. Katherine from MwH did a brilliant job, explaining clearly how we can learn from the wonderful beautiful horses, she facilitated the session, and put everyone at ease. I feel privileged and grateful to have done this meditation. Thank you Katherine

The place, the people, the horses and the way the retreat was designed to support each person there.

Beautiful, gentle and wholesome!
We were incredibly lucky with the weather being glorious for the whole duration of the retreat, bathing this wonderful part of the world in golden sunshine 🌞
Meditating and co-regulating with the horses was really special and taught me a lot about myself and nonverbal communication. The guided meditations and breathing exercises helped me to quieten the mind and enter a state of calm I have never achieved before. Katherine and Alexandra-Rose have taken good care of us, cooking the most incredible meals with locally foraged ingredients.

The retreat itself is highly recommended!
Only reason i gave 4 rather than 5 stars is the communication beforehand. After booking it took a while to get confirmation, leaving me unsure about what’s going on and later, all the information is shared via an app I had to download. The communication on the group thread mixed crucial information about the retreat with advertisements and social networking, making it easy to miss the most important parts. Some information about location was conflicting and so I ended up in the wrong place at first. For someone who doesn’t like social media, a simple email with the most important information would have been preferred.
