About Piggery Hill
Writers can and should be stimulated by nature and animals and Piggery Hill has been created with this aim to support writers unleash their creativity.
To explore new artistic territory, to excite ourselves and ignite out work, a writer also needs a third element, a bit of pressure. We need risk in order to leave our comfort zones, our time zones, hemispheres. A little push off the cliff’s edge.
About Writing and Equine Therapy
Nothing else can connect you to your heart, spirit and the ground beneath your feet like horses do
Hanging out with horses in their natural state under an open sky can reveal your true nature and a deeper knowledge of the story you are writing. The intuitive space created by horses stimulates your senses, can reveal your true energy, desire and intention in your writing. Horses playfulness, curiosity and animal presence can re-invigorate your own curiosity, playfulness and animal energy in your writing and in your life.
The writing with Horses Workshop provides you with a safe, nurturing environment to explore your creative selves and better understand the elements within which may be holding you back. No previous horse experience is required.
