At the State of Being, we are more than just a horse sanctuary Algarve. We are a community dedicated to supporting the welfare of rescued horses while offering transformative experiences for people seeking emotional healing and personal growth. Located in the picturesque Algarve, Portugal, our horse sanctuary Algarve is home to a variety of horses, each with their own unique story and path to healing.
The idea of the State of Being was first thought of by Sakshin de Groot in Amsterdam in August 2013. The sanctuary was then established in Portugal in November 2014.
Our mission is to provide a loving, safe environment for rescued horses, offering them a peaceful sanctuary where they can heal physically and emotionally. In turn, we are offering our visitors the opportunity to experience profound healing through mindfulness practices with horses, empowering them to live more mindful and balanced lives.
