🕯️Echoes of the Herd: Tend
Welcome to December, a month the herd meets with quiet strength and steady breath.
This is the season when the world hushes, when the wind carries its own kind of wisdom, and when the horses show us how to stand softly inside the cold. They do not rush the winter or resist its arrival. They widen their stance, turn toward the wind, and let their bodies settle into a deeper rhythm—one rooted in instinct, trust, and presence.
This month invites you to do the same.
Let the pace of the season slow your breath. Let the stillness deepen your listening. Notice the warmth that remains in you, even as the air cools around you. December is not here to harden you—it is here to hollow out a quiet space where you can return to yourself. See below for your Equine Wisdom Card and Somatic Practices to keep you connected throughout the month.
