Please note that Viator( whos reps have never done this activity) wrote the OVERVIEW description that calls this both a tour and scavenger hunt and says i'll be explaining the ecosystem on the river. Unfortunately these inaccuracies are not easy for a suppiler to change. This is a great activity for the right people and I dont wish to mislead anyone. I host and interact with my guests on Whats App. Its not a guided hiking tour. I am a scavenger hunt host and have hunts in both Taos and Santa Fe. This isnt really a scavenger hunt. Its much slower paced, creative and is more about connecting with the land. There are creative exercises. I do give you interesting background on the area but i am not a biologist who is qualified to explain the eco system of the river. if you play this solo, I am happy to host you but know that i cannot provide you with a group to play with. id say a degree of being comfortable alone on hiking trails is essential if you book solo.

This is not a typical meditation class. At HapBE Valley, meditation happens in the presence of horses animals deeply attuned to energy, emotion, and the nervous system. They’re not just part of the setting they’re part of the experience. Horses respond honestly and in real time to what you’re feeling beneath the surface. There’s no performance, no need to “do it right.” As you settle into stillness, many guests notice a shift not because they’re trying harder, but because the environment invites it. Surrounded by open land, mountain air, and the rhythm of the herd, it becomes easier to slow down. Distractions fall away. Your body begins to regulate. Presence happens more naturally. No horse experience is needed, and there is no riding involved. This is about connection within yourself, with nature, and alongside the quiet awareness of the horses. Many describe it as calming, grounding, and unexpectedly insightful something they haven’t experienced anywhere else.
