THE ART OF YOUR INNER CALLING DISCOVERY
Daimon™ is a powerful, grounded experience, in the presence of a horse, a flight animal, that instinctively responds to your feelings and your deepest, hidden thoughts. By assigning meaning to objects in the arena and trying to connect without imposing constraints on the horse, you almost-miraculously manage to get in touch with yourself. It’s an experience with a strong impact, suitable for those who don’t ride or are afraid of these animals.
The Daimon™ is perfect for empaths seeking a profound experience and wanting to expand their relational awareness with themselves: how many times can you forget yourself to make room for others? This experience is also suited for those willing to step outside comfort zone and engage fully. The encounter speaks to all individuals undergoing personal or professional transitions and feeling need for clarity.
The Daimon™ experience triggers a small emotional earthquake that helps participants reconnect with themselves and bring out their secrets through the relationship and interaction with the selected horse. Greek philosophers defined the daimon as a thread connecting one’s spiritual strength with divine power. Plato described it as the will to change one’s destiny and finally, Socrates as the Master who lives within us, to whom we must give voice through intuition and trust in ourselves.
The Daimon™ includes a preliminary thirty-minute video assessment to identify personal dynamics, challenges and goals to explore. After the assessment, the Alterreno team prepares the experience and selects the group of suitable horses. The horse for the actual session is confirmed on the day of the meeting. The experience can last from thirty minutes up to a maximum of two hours, depending on how much can be brought out and communicated through the horse. For optimal results, Daimon™ sessions should ideally be held at least four times in a year.
The experience is designed to reveal challenges and foster connection through breathwork with the horse. Observing the horse in liberty highlights mirrored aspects of oneself, while exploring your internal state and presence deepens awareness. Paddock interactions invite personal reflection through engagement with the horse. Each element serves the purpose of reconnection, as horses reflect clearly and immediately.
I attended a one-on-one Daimon session with Kate Mably. I’m not given to effusive statements, but I’ll admit this was quietly remarkable. Kate, with a patience I rarely encounter, guided me through it. Before long, I was standing near one of these creatures without the familiar tension knotting my chest. Something shifted, I have found myself unexpectedly in tears, followed by a profound sense of relief. I have left with clarity and calm;
it’s difficult to articulate, yet this experience lingers.

TENSION INTO CLARITY, CALM AND QUIET REVELATION
You don’t need to know everything before starting. The session is guided by experts, with experience and patience: you are never left alone in the process. Please know it’s normal to experience unexpected emotions: crying or feeling relief is part of the process. What happens is a release, not a danger. You can go at your own pace, without obligations or performance.
Research confirms horses' profound effect on human nervous system. Heart rate synchronization creates coherent state supporting insight, integration, transformation.
These experiences require willingness to be seen honestly, to encounter uncomfortable truths, to step beyond comfort zone. Transformation demands this courage.
All sessions take place on the ground and are designed for everyone, including those new to horses or carrying fear. No riding experience is required.
Those navigating change, seeking clarity, feeling disconnected from purpose find profound value in horses' ability to reflect and guide toward authenticity.
