The Kindness Project

The Kindness Project 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 sac

red 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.

It is quite the thing to know that your heart moves around the world without it being held completely inside of yourself.

It can be hard to describe one's absolute love for horses, how they become so very much a part of the core of who you are. Without ever having placed them there intentionally.

Just one day you happen to realise that they form a part of your heartbeat. They are you and you are a part of them.

It's crazy to think I once existed, where the herd did not, yet I have often wondered to, if this path was laid out for me to walk before we found each other. Maybe for each of them too.

An attunement, we already had, that drew each of us into the life we all share. Maybe that is too woowoo for people to believe, to me it feels that way.

When I find that space in the field, surrounded by the horses, as the breeze lifts and drops like breath, when a breed of bird shows up that I've never seen in the trees before. Well, that feels like it was all on purpose. Not magic, it's like coherence to our life purpose.

Precious moments that have repeatedly occurred, nature conspiring to recalibrate parts of people who visit with us.

So, I guess, what a gift it is, that my heart does indeed exist, well outside of the physical parts of me.

Being in Stillness with Horses
Sunday 26th April, 10am-12pm
8 intimate places only

A deeply held morning of nervous system calm, presence, and reconnection with self through the wisdom of the herd.

The horses always have complete freedom and choice within the space, creating a profoundly safe and honest experience for everyone involved. Their wellbeing leads the experience, always.

This event is an evolution from how we have held them previously. It is less people, receiving more. It feels like it's time for this change in rhythm, an expansion that offers more space for us to do our work, a deeper and more meaningful recalibration of your system for attendees

I asked the herd to show me if this work and this new evolution "feels" good for them. I wanted to make sure they were ready and willing for our next step together. I extended an invitation that if they felt the "yes" to come forward, and a "no" they had freedom to move away or leave our space. With a promise to honor the answer.

I gave a list of what I thought yes could look like:
✨Who approaches.
✨Who disengages.
✨Do their bodies remain soft.
✨Check in with ears, breath, stillness.
✨Is there a willingness to remain.

I invited them in, in just a few moments the herd stood in a huddle, up close to the gate, sinking into the collective stillness, as each horse was bought through the gate they didn't really shift, or hassle each other, Pepper and Zeeva who live separately came and stood close by and stayed. Even Miss Silver was calling and connecting, instead of moving away.

For nearly five hours, they stayed, quietly, peacefully, with gentleness in their connection to each other and me. Mis BJ allowed and sought touch each time I entered. Their heads low, steady easy breathes, they stayed. For those who have seen them at events, the softs eyes, still bodies that are flowing energy, today this is how they expressed their answer.

As gently as they entered, they returned to their field and meandered off to graze. Their answer given.

So today: I trust the living feedback of my herd. Our medicine is led by attunement, our connection is calm and centered and we invite those who will respect our space, and be open to their own expansion to join us at our next Being in Stillness event.

This event will be listed on my website tomorrow, and an email will be sent out if you are on my email list.

It's time to come back home!

I was speaking with a lovely young lady recently about how she has been thinking about getting a diagnosis for ADHD.

She said her parents had always been skeptical of it, so we chatted about what it would mean for her. She said it would help the way she experiences life to be validated. Allow her to have a greater understanding about herself and how she functions, and hopefully that would make a life a little easier.

We also chatted about how she studies and how bright she is, but people tell her she needs to do things differently. I said instead of doing things their way, why not do it your way, but with more preparedness. So, the last-minute study, could be supported with food, space and hydration so that she feels better. If she plans to the study last minute, then she can also give herself some grace, that means no guilt or shame, which gives a lot more space to retain what she is studying. It really is ok it we don't do things like other people; we don't all work the same. But a validated and supported system will function better than one that is torn down by others and shamed out loud.

As we ended our chat I asked why don't you look into a diagnosis? She said "Well, there are others that need it more than me, I don't want to take that away from them." I said, " but your existence makes you worthy".

It is true, you are here to live this one life, this is what makes you worthy of all the good things that are waiting and already being held for you, you are allowed to understand yourself too. Acceptance of self can be a big thing, so today, a gentle reminder you are worthy. ###

Sneaking up on the herd for dinner time!

They have been super happy for a few cooler days this week, even a little bit of rain over their backs two days ago was joy. Just enough to get a little mud on themselves.

It has been a long hot summer. We are certainly looking forward to some cooler days.

My name is Jen, I freaking love sunsets and sunrises, horses, unicorns, hot chippies, coffee and most people can win me over with strawberry freddo frogs!!

I've been running The Kindness Project for nearly 11 years now, what began as Equine Facilitated Learning has evolved into deeply partnered work with horses when I realised they were profound masters of inner stillness. I also took my work out of the paddock to work one on one with clients 8 years ago.

I call my appointments "Transformation Sessions", I assist the body to recalibrate itself, helping it find balance and space so that it can do what it does best: live functionally and heal itself.

I love love love the nervous system, I love that we can work together and help it find its way back to regulation and function. Ahhhh bliss!!!

I have been studying for 15 years now, but just as importantly I have been walking my own path of inner healing, and growth. Understanding in a much deeper way the true power and beauty of life, presence, consciousness and what we are past the physical vessel.

When we work together it isn't just about applying a series of techniques, I share my presence and nervous system with you. I work intuitively and offer you a space of nurture, where you are truly seen and understood.

I also walk a path of having lived experience through raising two children alone, one through chronic illness, and throw in divorce (with a side serve of difficult ex), loss/grief, and a myriad of other life traumas, and a gorgeous sprinkle of living with dyslexia and neurodivergence. While difficult this all allows me to understand many things others have lived through too. I also know what coming out the otherside looks like..... it's beautiful 😍 if you would like to discover that kind of beauty too, let me help guide you through your own transformation. 💫✨️

I was listening to a podcast with Tim Ferris yesterday and he was speaking about why he doesn’t use AI to help him write pretty much anything. He said that he wonders what we are losing within ourselves as people are using AI to not only write but dissect all parts of their lives. One of his examples was how people are using it to break down situations in their lives.

For example, they receive a text message, and they use AI to break it down and then to create a reply.

The question he had posed himself “what skill do we lose or diminish within ourselves when we use technology.” He had decided that it would diminish his creativity and also it would take him out of his body and eventually weaken his ability to have the full experience in interactions.

I have heard of people using it in the dating world, people giving thoughtful answers to questions, then when they meet the person has no ability to talk or speak with any depth. Then they admit they had used AI to create the charming answers.

One of the things that happens when we engage with people is a felt sense occurs within us; we have a resonance with things. If we simply place a message into AI and ask for an answer it doesn’t have that connection.

When we receive a message our body, our nervous system, our emotions, our consciousness responds to what has been said, as we are meant to. Our replies need to come from that same place, sometimes we feel we can’t give a regulated answer and therefore our replies to others can feel messy. But is this not a part of learning and growth.

I have also seen it as a tool recommended by divorce and DV/abuse type life coaches, to create emotionally neutral replies. Yes, maybe this is a safe start point. But you also need to develop the skill, as Tim was saying there is so much connected and I think there would be so much growth and learning you’d miss if you only used the AI tool.

I have seen a lot of people using it to create business posts etc but they have a lack of feeling within it all.

I use the tools to assist with grammar correction and spelling, being dyslexic these tools have helped me immensely. But I had never thought of entering a conversation into them and having it break it down.
It can not speak to your felt sense, to what is triggered or sparked. How does it know which words created unease within you and allowed you to look at why. Using them to justify you’re your unease takes away from the felt sense and inner exploration and potential growth. I guess maybe that is what some people want.

I really liked the idea of what we might lose within ourselves if we stop using our connection and felt sense though. It would or could eventually be like muscle wastage and overtime we stop feeling into ourselves. It could break that connection to ourselves, eventually leaving us more unsafe.

I love that the short conversation that was had on this particular podcast had me thinking about the greater impact, and what the impact could indeed be.

I spend so much time helping people find a deeper connection to themselves, increasing their capacity to experience life from a felt sense of safety, building these secure foundations of themselves, and I can see how quickly these would be depleted by repetitive use of such technology. Think, feel, emote, respond, have experiences, don’t deny these for yourself, these are the wonderous parts of being human. Even when you feel a little fractured, you don’t have to hide from these beautiful parts of yourself. Life is a beautiful full feeling journey.

I help women gently remember themselves.

To recalibrate their whole systems.
To stand a little taller.
To rediscover their inner voice.
To remember their inner strength and boundaries.

Not trauma healing or recovery.
This is coming home to wholeness.

It isn’t learning and building more or becoming more.
It isn’t about striving, fixing or thinking your way out.
It’s about allowing the layers of you shaped by a lifetime of experiences to be finally worked through with presence and release.

Creating space where the body returns to balance.
Letting the nervous system settle and gain function.
Not so much healing…
But coming home.

As we cross the threshold into the Chinese Year of the Fire Horse, I wanted to share the closing benediction from an event I held on Saturday with my herd.

For me it was a moment to honour the herd and the people in attendance. I also shared a beautiful moment with my horse Kouri, as I read this blessing out, he stood in front of me with his head gently bowed down at my chest, eyes softly closed. The sacredness of our partnership and connection hit me deeply, as the rest of the horses came in closer to join us all. I shared these words through a few tears as the moment tapped right into my heart and emotions and the huge love I have for my horses.

I have seen so many people sharing about this year and speaking to tapping into horses, my hope this year is we have more reverence for them, keep them safe, and learn from them instead of taking. I think we have used them enough, it's time we stop using them to carry what is not theirs to hold. May 2026 bring a greater consideration and more humility in our partnerships with them.

Welcome 2026 Year of the Fire Horse.

We met just after Valentines day in 2013!!

Who could ever have imagined the path we would walk together for the next 13 years.

When I met Kouri it was like an electric shock that travelled up my arm and straight into my heart. It was like finding some one I had lost long ago.

On Saturday I shared a beautiful moment with him, and on Sunday Facebook memories popped up to say it was the day I'd first met him. How uncanny the timing.

Having the blessing of animals to share life with is just so incredibly special. This horse means the absolute world to me, I just bloody love him. 💖💝

Look at how young we once were... 😆😆 let's hope we get to grow old (older 👵) together too.

When being seen feels exposing.
But being unseen feels lonely.

This duality within creates an ache within you.

It isn't brokenness, it's a representation of what you have survived through.

It is your nervous system speaking, not truth, but from what it is holding, from all that you've stored up from moments you've lived through.....survived!

Each of us has a desire to be seen, to be heard, felt and understood.
To be truly and powerfully witnessed.
To have all parts of us held in a safe and nurturing space.

Yet the very thought of that, while a desire, may also contract us, illicit fear, make us want to hide. Because being seen hasn't always been safe for us.

Maybe we have experienced times when visibility came with criticism.
Or vulnerability was met with dismissal.
Your gentleness was met with cruelty.

The body remembers. Your Consciousness remembers

It learnt to brace.
To scan.
To stay slightly guarded.

What an amazing thing, it kept you safe, when you truly needed it. What magnificence we have within us.

It didn't break you,
it purposefully protected something so tender; the whole of you!

Now that may feel like “I don’t want to be seen”
because the nervous system, body, memory, consciousness is still holding onto life moments that disrupted your sense of safety.

Now you hover in between.
Desire to be seen,
Desire to be safe.

It can be such a stuck space.

Safety is not a mindset you force.
Thoughts alone will not set you free.
That structure of holding you feel, can be gently released.
Your nervous system recalibrated.
Safety and inner trust built from within.

You are allowed to exist without the walls that appeared around you. You are allowed to be seen while feeling safe.
Explore life from a new space within.

If it feels like time for a change, join me for a transformation journey.

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.
