Join Us on the Site of Healing at H.O.O.V.E.S. for a Guided Meditation Walk (and bonfire)!
Step into spring’s gentle embrace at our working horse ranch and retreat center, where a beautiful herd of horses—and friendly mini horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, and chickens—welcome you to a one-of-a-kind mindfulness experience.
H.O.O.V.E.S. is a non-profit dedicated to offering healing intensives and retreats for veterans, and their 1.1 mile meditation path weaves through tall grasses and open fields for about an hour of pure nature + the practice of presence!
What to Expect:
• Meet in the classroom to walk out together.
• Choose light, guided support via headset—or simply wander and breathe in nature’s symphony.
• Complete the loop, then gather around a bonfire to share reflections and to share in community.
What to Bring:
• Layers & comfy walking shoes (or go barefoot)
• Water bottle & hat
• Bug repellent (if you like!)
- Light rain? We’ll walk right through it—stormy skies will prompt a cancellation notice.
- If weather turns chilly or windy, we’ll move the closing circle indoors.
H.O.O.V.E.S. Mission:
We bring veterans and rescued horses together in life-changing experiences, creating powerful bonds that heal, restore purpose, and empower new beginnings.
📍 4055 Wilkins Rd, Swanton, OH 43558 (park by the barn)
*If weather is unfavorable for a bonfire, we will return to the classroom for a short guided sound bath.
**If it is raining lightly, we will meet and walk in the rain. If it is storming we will be in touch, and will cancel.
