An invitation to rediscover your own essence and answer that quiet calling home. My offering is not about healing in the traditional sense.

A gentle walk of remembrance, to return to who you've always been, underneath it all. Are you experiencing tiredness from life, overwhelm, or disconnection from self, do you feel and sense there is something deeper waiting to be remembered within. Maybe you already feel the pull of home calling, a ripple or spark somewhere deep within reminding you off all that already divinely exists. Through sacred practice, I gently help dissolve the structures from life holding women away from their core. It is about dissolving what no longer serves you, so you can reconnect to who you truly are beneath the pain, the patterns, loops and stories. When you visit with me, we don’t add more, we are releasing all that no longer serves or works for you. My own journey began in a place of seeking, searching for something outside myself to fix what felt broken. What I discovered was that true restoration happens when we reconnect to our own sacred field of stillness. This is now the space I hold in others. If you are truly ready to shed the bounds your life has created, let’s work together. You may choose to work in partnership with the herd to discover a profound invitation to your field of stillness. Or we can work one-on-one in person or through video call. Allow me to walk beside you, an offering of sacred practices and presence to support you when life feels heavy, when you're unsure how to move forward, or when you simply feel the quiet pull to return home to yourself. I will meet where you are, and walk guide you as you realign your body, mind, energy and consciousness. Let me help welcome you back home.

We are now 19 days into recovery. Yesterday was Zeeva and Bestie Pepper's first day out for a walk together. A little gentle rehab work and some mental health respite, as being locked up in smaller yards isn't fun for anyone.

Week one was a hard week for her, she required new bandages over her sore leg, and we ended up having to get sedation to keep everyone safe.

Sometimes we believe we can do things that we can't. As always seems to be the case with myself and horses I had a big lesson to learn.

It turned out that previous injuries, lack of preparedness, and the horse were not the problem. It was me. More so it was me and my attitude and my belief that she needed something from me because I was better than her.

In my mind (yep that was the first mistake right there), Zeeva was showing us she was having a hard time with her bandages being changed and the wound cleaned. I thought well, I have to share my regulated nervous system with her. So gentle breathing, talking her through everything, using gentle touch, giving her time with each thing I had to do.

Sounds good right!!

That is how you should behave.

Well, yes, except the nervous system bit. She didn't need it. We were still struggling to get everything done, she was saying no to everything. Actually, she wasn't. She was saying a very big "NO" to my arrogance that I thought I was better than her at holding her own regulation.

Moments like this remind that even after 35 years of being around horses I still have so much to learn.

So, I let her be. I let her stand, no ropes holding her, nothing in me trying to force regulation onto her. I let her hold herself, and she did so beautifully. She stood so quietly, you would be hard pressed to believe it was the same horse 5 min apart.

Following the dressing, I went though some anger and annoyance at myself, through the guilt and shame that rose, then into the lesson, then I got to sit with the pride in this little mare and how far she has come and grown up. I treated her like a baby, instead of the beautiful adult she is, I negated the work she had done in building her side of the relationship with us humans. Now, I am in complete appreciation of this wonderful horse.

It did make me think though, how many times did I do this to my kids growing up. I had raised them to self-regulate and I wonder how many times, I believed them to be inept at doing for themselves. At moments when their bodies should have been allowed to process a moment and I took over, lacking more awareness to what was occurring.

This moment with Zeeva bought forward a flood of moments where my kids were overwhelmed, and I added fuel to the fire. Yes, out of care, and no I can't go back and change it. But I can make an admission, and I can share the thought here because it may click for someone else. And I will be wiser for the future.

For now, she is doing very well, we will continue with her wound care, walks, cuddles and no doubt lessons. I will endeavor to listen more and leave my arrogance at the gate too.

With the summer weather here, the beautiful afternoons/early evenings are allowing the herd and I to offer appointments for “Sacred Space with the Herd”. Our one-on-one sessions with the horses.

Sacred Space with the Herd is where stillness, strength, and wholeness meet.

This offering is an invitation to explore our Sacred Temple: a shared space between humans, horses, earth, energy and consciousness. Where ancient wisdom of horses and nature meet with entrusted practices to help you break down areas of holding within.

Horses’ presence offers something that words often cannot: an invitation into stillness, honesty, and coherence. Horses live in a constant state of awareness and connection, responding not to what we say, but to what we carry. They sense the subtle layers of holding beneath our stories, the places where tension, emotion, and truth quietly reside.

Within their herd, there is no expectation to perform or explain. Instead, the horses hold a grounded, non-judgmental field that allows what has been held within you to surface gently and naturally. Horses see more of you than most people can, they will move together in formations to allow what is within to rise for release. They may touch your body gently to shift what the body has stored. Through their understanding of the power of the nervous system, they will use the connected field of oneness to help you sink into stillness. In this space, many find it easier to soften, to breathe, and to reconnect with parts of yourself that have been hidden yet desire to be seen.

Time spent with the herd is not about doing, fixing, or achieving. It is about being, allowing the body and nervous system to settle, allowing awareness to deepen, and allowing wholeness to be felt rather than sought.

Horses remind us of something ancient and true: when we return to stillness, we return to ourselves.

Appointments are now being accepted via application. Not everyone is quite ready to meet with herd, as their safety is paramount. I ask you to consider the sacrificing nature of horses, therefore bringing immense traumas to their space, deep pain, and suicidal ideation can negatively impact them. If you are seeking assistance for this, I suggest working outside of our temple space first, then applying to work with them at a later date. This space asks you to be open and deeply accepting of our work.

A lot of people got pretty excited about celebrating the Year of the Horse this year. Is it because we love horses more than snakes!!

There was a lot of talking and sharing about this new year, but the Year of the Horse doesn't actually begin until February 17th, so technically we are still in the Year of Snake.

I was thinking how lovely it would be to go and spend some time with my herd and set some new intentions and goals for myself for this coming year.

Then I had a bright idea!!!

What about an afternoon with the herd and open it up to other who might enjoy those new year, new me feels. Of course, if I was going to share the space journalling, maybe we'd need a journal as well. I had the shade under trees, I had the horses, and now I almost have the Journal.

It might take me a few more days to finish up, edit and upload. Then it takes a few more days to have it ready to order.

So, I am thinking Saturday 14th February (unless your busy with Valentines day 😍), an afternoon with the herd: "The Fire Horse Threshold", 3 hours surrounded by horses and nature. Shedding the year of the snake and inviting in the Year of the Fire horse.

The journal I've made has prompts, but also has space to just journal, each person will receive one when they arrive. But you don't have to use, you could bring your own blank notebook, pens or even an art book.

There will be 10 places available. I will get it listed on my website for bookings once I finish the journal and make sure, I can order it all in time.

Feel free to sign up for my email, as once it is listed I will send out and email to let you know.

xJen

PS. If you can't make it but would be keen to set your intentions for the new year ahead, once it is all set up, I can share a link to purchase the journal from Amazon. 📔📓

I will pop my website link below so you can sign up for an email. (I send out very few very emails, mainly it is event notices.)

Happy Sunday 💞 from Pepper.

I promise he is saying hello, not just staring me down while I prepare his dinner. While he has a mouthful of hay already. 😉

Wishing you all a safe, gentle and reverent new year.

Last year was a beautiful and hard year. A duality that has become a little easier to experience as my own capacity continues to grow.

Towards the end of last year I lost a dear friend, who has been one of my biggest cheerleaders over our 15+ years of friendship. It feels so sad and difficult to cross the threshold into this New Year knowing she isn't here. Her kindness and gentleness is no doubt forever held in the many people she touched. A beautiful woman who always had an amazing and calming presence. A very special legacy she has left us with.
✨️

Thank you to all of the people who support my work, and find some value in the things I share. I was reminded again during the recent fires how many people care deeply for my herd, and how they have touched so many over the past 10 years, I am so grateful that they reside within so many hearts. Thank you for holding them with same preciousness and reverence as I do.

As Ive reflected on the past 12 months I feel deeply honoured and privileged to be the person many of you have chosen to sit with and allow me to truly see you. To be a safe haven where you share the often unspoken. Your trust in me is not taken lightly. I hope my small offering has allowed you find your way back home.

I am somewhat apprehensive about the year ahead, I am hopeful much of the hardship from last year will be left behind. But there is also a small bubble of excitement at the possibilities that may unfold, and new adventures to be had.

For now, I wish you all a very safe and gentle 2026.

Xx Jen and the herd: Kouri, Cc, Miss BJ, Diamond, Mellie, Pepper, Mr M, Samsam, Zeeva, Honey Bear and Silver.

When others hurt us we often contract inwards. Our nervous system becomes dysregulated, and we may even experience things like body pain, short breathing and poor sleep.

We somethimes believe we have to be able to trust others again, yet the real magic happens as we begin to trust ourselves. As we listen to our bodies, intuition and inner guidance.

The more we pay attention to those conversations the more we uncurl and rebuild.

Sometimes we get sick of the endless repair and inner work. But we are the ones experiencing our life, it seems like it would be an extraordinary thing to place the big responsibility of our growth in someone elses hands.

Through gentleness and softness you can indeed find a way to rebuild your inner trust and intuition. ✨️

It's been a little quiet in this little corner of social media world. Life hasnt be quite so quiet.

The past 6 weeks has been a bit of a whirlwind of work, family, celebrations, illness, fires. And to fill that odd space between Christmas and new year our beautiful girl Zeeva had a bit of bingle in a fence.

The new year will hopefully come with some new offerings, and getting back to the work I love of sharing the herd and our unique space with others. I am trying to work out some finer details on this and it will probably happen after the heat of summer has settled some.

Hoping everyone here has had a safe a peaceful space over Christmas.

Feel like s**t?
Experience a lot of Pain?
Live in overwhelm?
Struggle with fatigue?
Poor Sleep?

Have you ever thought about finding solutions not band aids?

These things above show up over time, they linger around until they become the norm. We get so used to living this way and permanent solutions seem to be hard to find. Once we see “normal” care providers we get weak answers “Oh you’re a woman”, “your ageing” blah blah blah. I heard every crap answer in the book too.

What I went on to discover over the past 10 years was that the answer was not medical, it's also wasn’t spiritual, it wasn’t nutrition, it wasn’t going to be solved by meditations or feeling my feelings.

There was an answer though.

I have affectionally started calling it rebuilding my foundations.
Everything above my foundations was wonky, held together with tape. Every time I survived another storm, I had to tape it up the structure of "ME" and carry on.

It was dismantling the structure of holding within me: spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally. It was a recognition that all parts of me were holding and had become a living memory of everything I lived through. Each moment stored and making me wonky, uncomfortable, and barely hanging on.

My foundation as I have come to understand it is stillness itself. Yes, that thing those crazy spiritual folks or monks in temples speak of. The thing is it is a part of every single person; it is ours to care for, nurture and expand. It isn’t something we visit, it is our state of being.

And so became the path, expand the stillness, become it. Continually working to reduce the structure of holding that I carry around within all parts of me.

As the stillness expands, the body shifts, fascia unwinds, health resumes, overwhelm dissipates. Every aspect of life shifts, in unimaginable ways.

I don’t heal anything for anyone, I help you release what is held in all parts of you, through the state of presence and stillness I hold and work from. I work with deeply transformative practices that allow your body to find stillness and to process and shift what you have lived through. You, your body, your consciousness returns you to health.

Now my body is now able to utilise nutrition, I have a spiritual practice that I honour, I respect my whole self, the embodiment of my consciousness and physical body, my beautiful and functional nervous system. I have met all of me, my stable foundations allow me to move through day to day with health, vitality and deep respect and love for self and others.

When someone says what do you do, it’s kind of hard to speak to so much and define it in a nutshell. I help people find themselves under the experiences of what they’ve lived through, when they are unable to do it for themselves. It’s a nice line, but it is so much more than that.

So, if you ever get sick and tired of being sick and tired, I’d be honoured to help you. We can work together and dismantle those structures and at the same time we can rebuild those beautiful solid foundations, and while we are there, shall we reintroduce you to the purity of your true self.

A few days ago we found ourselves in the line of threat from the rather large fire in Bullsbrook.

It came with a few Km's of us, but with a lot of assistance it was contained and the threat to us reduced.

Today is a high fire danger day and very hot, with some added wind. Hopefully people consider their actions before doing unnecessary things that put a lot of people, animlas and nature at risk.

More than 230 hectares of land was burnt just in a few hrs. That a lot of trees, and animals displaced, and injured. We don't think of all the insects, lizards and snakes, snails, ants etc that make our ecosystems so beautiful. One action of human who just had to get that "one thing" done, could have prevented.

The fear one feels when their loved ones are at risk is indescribable. The horse's spent yesterday locked in just incase, but seemed to enjoy a load of extra hay, the extra hugs, kisses, I love you's, with some tears of relief, I don't think they were so bothered with. 😆

Stay safe, stay cool this weekend.

XxJen and the herd

Our Story

The Kindness Project is the creation and passion of Jennifer Cumins, who during her teens spent many hours in the company of a herd of horses. She came to understand the power of connection and all the lessons horses have to teach us. From developing communication, sharing space, respectful boundaries and the power of living in the now. Jennifer saw how horses are able to share energy between themselves, create a safe and regulated environment, support each other and how they discharge the energy from perceived life-threatening events. These experiences have created a life long passion for horses and for learning how to join the wisdom of horses with people who need them.

A curiosity about trauma and the impact on the physical and energetic components of oneself has led Jennifer down an interesting path of education, from equine bodywork, Reiki II, Quantum Touch, Essential Oils, Equine Experiential Learning, Equine Facilitated Learning, Somatic Experiencing and peiec ® energy healing. It is with this expertise she has created a supportive space that now allows humans to go through their own deep healing and release process. Whether you have been through a specific trauma or you just have a feeling of being stuck and held bound by past experiences. Jennifer and her beautiful herd of horses can hold space and help you to reawaken to your passions and purpose and welcome yourself home to a deeper and healthier connection to self.

Jennifer takes clients on a Transformation Journey explored over three powerful sessions. This allows for the greatest amount of life moments to be released from within the Five layers of self. A gentle process that allows a person to restore peace, free themselves from limiting beliefs and behaviours and to release life moments that have held you bound.
