With the ever-growing concerns facing our teens, adults and veterans over their management of anxiety and depression, I hope to introduce them to Experiential Horsemanship. Participants will learn hands-on skills which supports traditional ground techniques to learn ways to cope and heal. We have rescued several horses, who now help participants maneuver life’s challenges. Horses are known for their therapeutic ability to emmulate human emotions. With the proven methods of Experiential Learning techniques, students will be able to understand the horse’s body language, which in turn will make them aware of their present mood and how to alter their perceptive behaviors. Our ultimate goal is for our participants to be one with nature and live happily in the moment.
Embracing the Buzz: The Health and Environmental Benefits of Resting Above the Bees
“Imagine stepping into a space that’s a hive of activity – literally!” exclaims Graham Eldred, founder of Bee Productive. “Picture resting and rejuvenating above a buzzing bed of pollinators.” These aren’t just whimsical thoughts, but progressive ideas that are transforming our interactions with nature and bringing surprising health and environmental perks.
The Tranquil Power of Resting Above Bees
Researchers and therapists around the world are discovering the surprising benefits of an unlikely restful retreat – napping above active beehives. This distinctive therapy merges elements of gentle vibro-massage, ionization of air quality, aromatherapy, and soothing sound therapy, all in one buzzing bundle.
The delicate vibrations generated by the bees’ wing fluttering can function as a calming vibro-massage, having a positive effect on the nervous, circulatory, and muscular systems. The gentle hum of the hive, combined with the micro-massaging effect, induces a state of self-healing and balance. Moreover, the pure, ion-rich air exuded by the hive works wonders for your respiratory system and aids in reducing harmful free radicals in your body.
Europeans have been sleeping in such an environment for years, and experience a calming effect on the mind. The fragrant medley of nectar, honey, and propolis wafts through the air, creating a soothing atmosphere conducive to peaceful sleep. Our Honey Bee Suite patrons have said, “The persistent humming of bees and slight vibration of the bed triggered a mild meditative state and put me into a deep sleep,” which then stimulates your body’s own healing rhythms. “I woke up within an hour feeling refreshed.”
Beekeepers and enthusiasts have reported a plethora of benefits, ranging from relief from respiratory ailments and rheumatic issues to stress reduction and better sleep quality. This harmony of physical and emotional wellbeing and improved productivity is an invaluable outcome of this unique approach to therapy.
