Being with the Alpacas
An opportunity to practice non-doing as we soak up some of that famous Camelid Calm.
Service Description
The intention of these sessions is to offer time and space to practice the art of presence and simply being amidst the alpacas in their comfortable home environment. An opportunity to practice non-doing as we soak up some of that famous Camelid Calm. Alpacas are gentle, calm and curious creatures making them a soothing accompaniment to a meditation or mindfulness practice. The idea of these sessions is to co-create a state of calm with the alpacas. Their peaceful grazing and quiet presence can support us to become more relaxed and present, in turn allowing the alpacas to feel more at ease with us. As we tune into the subtitles of their behaviours through our quiet observations it often allows for deeper connections with these beautiful animals. There’s nothing complicated or inaccessible about these sessions. All that is required is the capacity to sit and an openness to being quiet and present.
