Living Our Dreams

Connection...

Last week, Susan and I invited several local families to join us for an equine practice session to prepare for our demonstration event up at the Strang arena. 

Participants were asked to observe the horses in the arena and choose one they were most attracted to. The magic of this work continues to unfold and never ceases to amaze me. I witnessed my horse Annie-usually hesitant to approach-walk to the fence to greet our group. 

We then invited the families to break into groups to choose the horse they wanted to work with during our time together. Autumn chose Annie, or Annie chose Autumn, I'm not really sure which and it doesn't matter, because the quiet intelligence of their connection was beautiful to behold and truly a creative awakening.

Join us Saturday, Dec 3, noon-3pm,  at Strang Ranch for our Equine Therapy Demonstration. Dress in WARM layers and bring a chair. We'll have a fire, hot coco, handwarmers and fun activities for you and your family.

Thank you to our sponsors CCAH, Special Needs Moms for Moms, YouthZone and Windwalkers for their support of our event!

The Dark Feminine...It is said she comes to those who travel between worlds and dimesions. She often arrives in support of ritual, initiation, and transformations, helping us to embody and see within the "other" world. She often comes to bring light to that which is out of balance, to transform outdated paradigms and to bring forth widsom. 

As I sift through the terrain of grief, I am learning to accept what IS. I am learning to truly BE...in an entirely new way. I am learning that most of what I thought defined me is an illusion and I am casting off old beliefs. Very often what IS, is the need for surrender, for silence, the need for empty space, the need for walks in nature with my dog and my horse.

I felt her stirring in my unconscious this morning...I paced the studio for awhile-getting ready-awaiting her incarnation...SHE came to me today...
