What is Cow Cuddling?
Cow cuddling, or "koe knuffelen" as it's known in the Netherlands where it originated, is a gentle practice that promotes relaxation and emotional well-being through interaction with cows. It's a unique form of animal therapy in Florida where participants lean against, pet, and simply spend time in the calming presence of these large, warm animals.
The Benefits:
- Stress Reduction: The slow heart rate and body temperature of cows can have a profound calming effect on humans.
- Unique Bond: Form a genuine connection with an animal that offers unconditional acceptance.
- Mindfulness: It encourages presence and tranquility, helping you disconnect from daily pressures.
- Ethical Interaction: Our cows are cherished residents, not simply attractions. They participate because they enjoy the interaction, making every cuddle truly authentic.
