Jillian Prince
Horsewoman, Coach, Mentor
Jill is a Somatic Therapy Facilitator, Holotrophic Breathwork Facilitator, Coach, Mentor, Mother and Horsewoman, living on a stunning 50 thousand acre property, a powerful landscape, 80 kms south of Cobar, with her husband and two daughters.
A life time with Horses has gifted Jill some incredible lessons that have been instrumental in shaping who she is today. Here at The Space, Jill shares these heart-centred and connection-based lessons and gifts with visitors from all over Australia.
"The Space", it’s all about sharing time with like-minded people and Jill is driven by a commitment to draw out guests’ innate ability to self heal, and to help them harness this moving forward.

"I am exited to meet you and share the wonder of "The Space" experience with you". - Jillian Prince
Lesley Parkes
Embodied Functional Movement Coach, Women's Circle Facilitator and Massage therapist bodyworker.
Lesley is a movement coach, Apnea Survival Instructor, women’s circle host and bodywork massage therapist. Natural energy flow is the essence of what she does and who she is. A lover of the wild’s natural beauty, Lesley finds a sanctuary of both peace and empowerment in the great outdoors. When she’s not facilitating you’ll find her surfing, hiking, dancing or planning her next adventure.
Much of Lesley’s work is rooted in her time on Country and rich cultural experiences. Learning from Indigenous Elders, facilitating empowerment programs in remote regions, and supporting communities across Australia, Nepal, India, Vietnam, and Mongolia awakened a profound understanding of what modern society so often forgets: the need to slow down, move with purpose, live with clear intention and integrity, honour the land and animals and act for the greater good of the village.
Through conscious movement, breathwork, active presence, heart-centered connection, deep listening, elemental immersion, and sacred practices, we reconnect with our own authenticity—and with one another. This is the path to liberating and embodying the soul self, and to awakening the true power of community.

In the Presence of The Horses: The horses really are the star of The Space Retreat experience.
Horses are highly sensitive to humans emotional states. They can synchronize a humans heart rhythms with theirs, in doing this also influence the brains wave lengths. When a horses electromagnetic field will influence a humans and when heart and brain wave length of the horse match incredible healing can occur. The magnificent team of horses are already anticipating your arrival.

We will also facilitate and hold you through a Holotrophic Breath Ceremony over the weekend as part of your transformative experience.
Somatic Practices: "Somatic" means a felt sense in the body. Somatic healing practices allow you to trace, feel and express what your nervous system is biologically wired to do.

What happens during the Equine Experience?
During our retreats we will spend time with the horses.
Our sessions are conducted with horses at liberty, which means at no time will you have control of a horse. This approach encourages both parties to express themselves freely, leading to honest and authentic experiences.
During the session, we will focus on developing our awareness, connection, and expectations. We will also engage in a few fun activities with them and in doing so, they will show us when we are being congruent and honest.
If you feel nervous around horses, please don't worry. We have no expectations for you to achieve anything in particular, and we will work together to create a safe and supportive environment for your experience.
