Building off the concept of goat yoga, I created Sheep Meditation as a slower, animal-assisted healing experience at Charlie’s Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary. This program offered a peaceful environment where guests connected with rescued sheep—some from traumatic backgrounds—through guided meditation with local meditation leaders, Bob and Amelia from Paradigm Shift. Set to the soothing sounds of nature and crystal singing bowls, the sessions fostered a calm, healing space for both humans and animals. Even the more wary or blind sheep responded positively, often napping among the group once meditation began. Popular with locals, tourists, and corporate groups, this program generated income for the sanctuary while prioritizing animal well-being and choice.
