Awakening to Your Life's Purpose Through the Way of the Horse
This two-part advanced intensive program is an in-depth exploration of the Way of the Horse as a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation. With horses as your inspiration and guides, you will learn skills for increasing self-awareness, accessing inner peace, and developing an approach to life that enables you to live deeply and awaken to your life's purpose.
The NOW program will further define and integrate essential skills for Authentic Community Building through reflective, active, and mounted work with horses and in group process work with two-legged herd members. No previous horse experience is required.
The overall theme of the NOW program will focus on teaching you how to take new tools and expanded self-awareness back into your life, family, relationships, and community. You will learn how to be more authentic, set healthy boundaries, and actually live from a larger perspective of who you are and what's possible for you. You will learn how to apply the following principals to everyday life: congruency over conformity, authenticity over perfection, and adaptability and inquisitiveness over methodology.
The program will offer experiences in the following areas of the Epona Approach to Equine Experiential Learning, as well as innovative healing techniques for both humans and horses:
- Energy Field Exploration; Active Round Pen Work; Horse Dancing
- Brain Balancing techniques to increase mental focus, body awareness, balance and energy
- Compassionate Communication to create authentic relationships and communities
- Development of a Spiritual Practice through meditation for living deeply and more fully connected to your inner guidance
- Emotional Fitness Skills to consciously navigate life's challenging transitions
- Intuitive and non-verbal communication skills with horses and humans
- Processes to set and practice healthy boundaries
- Ways to distinguish and shift between self sabotaging and productive beliefs and behaviors
- A deeper sense of your authentic self for creating the quality of life you want to experience in your life
- Profound experiences in nature in the native American traditions of the Vision Quest and Shamanic Journeys
In the end, what horses know is that everything changes...constantly. They teach us to be mindful of the present moment, free of preoccupation and judgment. It is then that we are automatically imbued with lightheartedness; it is then that we can step far enough from our old survival beliefs and behaviors to make room for a sense of humor, self-acceptance, and loving kindness that are at the core of our authentic selves.
It is from this connected place within that we discover the true nature of who we are, create authentic relationships, and live in peace. In the safe and congruent environment of NOW you will have the opportunity to explore what feels emotionally, physically, spiritually, and expansive for you and become truly awake to your life's purpose!
