Women’s Programs

Discover the Healing Power of Horses

We are excited to announce the expansion of our offerings with two brand-new Women’s Programs!
These programs are tailored for women looking to rediscover their love for horses or those who want to embark on a new journey of self-care and personal growth. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to create a safe space where women can practice presence and cultivate inner listening. Work with our equine friends to learn to reduce anxiety, build self-confidence, and enhance overall happiness. By working closely with our horses and then turning focus inwards, we hope participants  leave more in tune with their body and spirit.

At The Fox Moon Farm Project, we are dedicated to providing transformative experiences focused on the healing powers of nature and animals. Our serene farm environment offers a safe haven designed to foster self-discovery, confidence, and community through the powerful connection with our horses and the healing energy of nature.

Are you tired of taking care of everyone else but yourself? Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, fatigued and depleted? Join us for an adventure in personal exploration. We’ll meet at the farm every other Sunday morning to spend an hour with our horses where each woman will be paired with either a horse or miniature donkey, to embark on a journey of self-care and personal growth. Work with our equine friends to learn to reduce anxiety, build self-confidence, and enhance overall happiness. In the final hour, we will return our horses and donkeys out to pasture, while we focus on mindfulness and rejuvenation. This hour will involve sound baths, breathwork, meditation, yoga, forest bathing, journaling and more.

At the start of the program, we will sit as a group and set intentions for our work together. Writing in our horse journals, we will identify our struggles, goals and aspirations for our time here at the farm.

  • Horsemanship Skills: We will learn the fundamentals of working with horses, including grooming, leading, safety, reading horse behavior, feeding, and basic commands. As you engage with your equine companion, you’ll uncover a growing bond that nurtures your confidence and self-esteem. During each session, you will spend quality time with your horse, including thoughtfully designed activities which promote connection and joy, allowing you to tap into your playful side and experience the healing power of animal companionship.
  • Group Reflection: Our horses serve as mirrors to our souls, helping us process hidden emotions and feelings in a supportive group setting where shared experiences and insights can emerge.

After your time with the horses, join Lora Bishop, founder of Soulshine Wellness and Retreats, for an hour of breathwork, soundbaths, meditation, journaling and more, in our tranquil Forest Wellness Space or at our lakeside retreat, Soul Moon Cove.

Lora is devoted to helping individuals reconnect with their inner power, regulate their nervous system, and create lasting personal change.

Through a unique integration of breathwork, energy healing, Reiki, somatic practices, hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy®, heart coherence techniques, and mindset coaching, Lora guides clients beyond surface-level healing into deep subconscious transformation.

Her work focuses on restoring balance within the autonomic nervous system, releasing emotional blocks stored in the body, and helping individuals rewrite the internal patterns that shape their lives. By combining science-backed nervous system regulation with powerful mind-body modalities, Lora creates experiences that are both deeply restorative and profoundly transformational.

Clients often describe her sessions as immersive journeys—where breath, sound, energy, and subconscious work converge to create breakthroughs in clarity, self-worth, emotional freedom, and personal empowerment.

At the heart of her work is a simple but powerful belief:

When the body is regulated, the mind is clear, and the heart is open—true transformation becomes possible.

Are you ready to embark on this transformative journey? These heart-centered activities are designed to help regulate your nervous system, release emotional tension, and reconnect with your inner self. You’ll discover rest, renewal, clarity, and harmony in both your body and mind. By engaging with our horses and participating in mindful practices, you’ll cultivate resilience, inner peace, and deeper connections—both with yourself and the wonderful community of women around you.

    Women’s Horseback Riding Lessons

     

    Join us for a weekly one-on-one session with our certified horseback riding instructor, where you’ll discover the essentials of horseback riding in a calm and nurturing environment. Before you saddle up, you’ll focus on developing foundational horsemanship skills to ensure you feel confident and prepared for your riding experience.

    In these initial sessions, you’ll also cultivate a meaningful partnership with your horse, gaining insights into their body language and emotions. Once this connection is established and your skills are honed, you’ll embark on your horseback riding adventure.

    Each session blends horsemanship with mindfulness, teaching you techniques such as “horse breathing,” emotional regulation, and anxiety reduction. Come ride with us and deepen your bond with these magnificent animals while enhancing your overall well-being!

    • Basic Horsemanship Skills: Understand horse behavior, anatomy, and care. Learn safety practices when approaching, handling, and grooming your horse. Develop the skills to successfully tack up in English or Western disciplines. Practice groundwork exercises through in-hand and liberty work to build a thriving partnership with your horse.
    • Riding Skills: Discover balance, posture, and traditional riding techniques. Master the art of communication with your equine partner through different bodily cues.
    • Mindfulness & Life Skills: Engage in practices that help you reduce anxiety, regulate emotions, increase self-confidence, and improve social communication.

    A Unique Opportunity for Growth

    Whether you’re a woman who has always wanted to learn how to ride, or someone looking to reconnect with an old passion, our program is perfect for you! Enjoy the calming rhythm of riding, which not only nurtures your mind but also promotes emotional, social, and cognitive development.

      Last week, one of our teens chose to ride Bunny. Their last ride together had been a bit of a challenge, but this time was something special.

      They brought Bunny in from the pasture, groomed her, tacked her and climbed on, all on their own. As they let the tension leave their own body, Bunny softened too, lowering her head and relaxing into the walk. That's the quiet magic of horses: they meet us right where we are.

      Then we threw in a surprise. We asked them to help teach a lesson for one of our younger riders. They were nervous, and they said yes anyway. They cheered, encouraged, helped with grooming, gave a riding pattern and even took a turn on the lunge line.

      The younger kids look up to this teen, and after last week we can see why. Growth looks a lot like courage. 💛

      🔥🐴 Hoofbeats & Heartbeats: Our Closing Ceremony 🐴🔥

      This weekend we gathered one last time as a circle of women for the final session of Hoofbeats & Heartbeats, and our hearts are still so full.

      Over these past months, these brave women showed up again and again. They came looking for grounding and direction, and with the horses as their guides, they courageously looked within: at the core wounds beneath the people-pleasing, the protecting, the caring for everyone but themselves. And they discovered the quiet, peaceful voice that was there all along. 💛

      Our closing day was sacred. We sat around the fire as the rain fell, each sharing something we were grateful for and something we were ready to release. We wrote them on bay leaves and gave them to the fire and the lake.

      Our beloved Maria guided us through the Native American tradition of prayer ties: small cloth bundles holding sacred tobacco and herbs, each one infused with our prayers, gratitude, and healing intentions. Many of us offered our ties to the fire, sending those prayers up with the smoke.

      Then came the dancing! 💃 Arms raised, laughter ringing through the gazebo, and maybe a happy tear or two. We ended the way we began, with our horses, saying a tender goodbye to the gentle teachers who showed us who we truly are.

      To every woman in this circle: thank you for your courage, your presence, and your willingness to look within. The light has been turned on, and it isn't going anywhere. ✨

      🌱 Hoofbeats and Heartbeats returns this spring! If you feel called to join our next circle, keep an eye on this page or reach out to us to learn more.
