Operation Centaur Retreat

A Mindfulness and Equine Retreat

Sunday 31st August 12.30pm - Monday 1st September 4pm

A 24-hour immersive retreat held at the serene and elegant Bingham Riverhouse. Where the rhythm of the river meets the hush of ancient trees, a rare space is created - one that invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect.

This intimate experience brings together equine-assisted therapy, forest bathing, mindfulness and meditation, and embodied presence - in a shared pursuit of clarity, restoration, and deeper self-awareness.

Co-facilitated by Operation Centaur, whose therapeutic work with horses is internationally acclaimed, and Bhuti at the Bingham Riverhouse - this retreat offers a return to what is quiet and essential within you.

For Whom

This retreat is for anyone who senses the need to pause - to step back from the busyness of doing and remember the quiet strength of simply being.

It is ideal for those navigating life transitions, seeking to process trauma or emotional fatigue, or wishing simply to feel more deeply and move more slowly. No prior experience with horses, yoga, or meditation is required. The retreat is open to all.
