I can’t thank you enough for the amazing experience that was yesterday's workshop. I came wanting to learn about Equine Assisted Personal Growth and A Body Centered approach, which I did. You were able to distill a wide body of knowledge both on Equine Assisted Therapeutic Approaches and Body Centered work into wonderful, easy to digest nuggets of wisdom. Your stories of your experiences brought these therapeutic approaches to life. The beauty of the natural setting couldn’t have been more perfect.
What really amazed me the most, however, was the first-hand healing that occurred for me through my participation with a Body Centered Exercise with you, and with being in the ring with your beautiful horses. I was able to release sadness that I really didn’t even know I held. I know exactly where I held it too. For YEARS I have had left low back and hip pain. Last night, when I got back from the workshop and was getting ready for bed, I went to take my usual Tylenol to ease up my pain so I can sleep, when I suddenly realized that I no longer had the pain! The pain is still gone this morning and I wanted to let you know and to say thank you. - DB Shelly, thank you for the wonderful experience that you created. You gave me the opportunity to be a part of nature for a short day under the open sky, feeling the sun, walking through grasses and wild flowers, listening to birds chirping, sharing the space with majestic Sunny and Sunshine, and so much more. ...
That was the best workshop I ever had. What a contrast with the stuffy, cold, hotel conference rooms we have to endure for our CEUS! - ST |

Working With Energy: What Horse Whisperers Know
|
Emotions are made up of energy - so are thoughts and beliefs. Energy is stored in the bodymind and must be accessed and released via the bodymind.
Great horse whisperers know that working with a horse's flight instinct, is more effective than trying to control or subdue it. Drawing from their example, we will learn how to release negative energy - negative emotions - from the bodymind, by learning how to partner with them versus trying to manage them. This workshop is experiential. You will learn how to use and practice these tools for yourself, before attempting to use them with clients. These tools will also help you stay balanced and centered and take on less "stuff" from your clients. |

Under the Moon Releasing Event
Cancelled!
6:30pm-9:30pm
$65.00 Just as autumn leaves surrender their grip onto what is familiar, so are we invited to let go - of emotions, stresses, worries, and "stuff" we've accumulated during the spring and summer seasons of high productivity. As we surrender, we make room for the quiet of winter and the deep well of "remembering" to be found there. Tonight we celebrate, as we sit by the fire, under a full moon, the last day of Daylight Savings Time and the coming darkness. You will be guided in some gentle group releases, meditation, and will have an opportunity to burn old journals in the fire if you'd like. Please consider joining us for this special event! |
