Spirituality and Horses

 

Hello and welcome to my center for heart-inspired living...  


When I began my new vision of a life/work in balance, I had no idea of the healing energy that would be unleashed.


For almost twenty years I had worked in the corporate world of performance improvement, team building and leadership training.  Simultaneously, my journey included an ongoing spiritual quest for a healthy balance in life and the sustainment of personal joy...

I studied the sacred art of Reiki and was certified in Hong Kong, practiced the teachings of A Course in Miracles, Abraham-Hicks and the Law of Attraction, Klaus Hempfling, Louise Hay, Mona Lisa Schultz, Christiane Northrup, Wayne Dyer, and Sonja Choquette along with many others.  I have also learned and trained with gifted teachers of the horse/human relationship.  

It was my privilege to apprentice with Linda Kohanov, (Internationally recognized innovator of Equine Experiential Learning and renowned author on expanding human potential, healing and transformation) and Kathleen Barry Ingram who co-created the Epona Approach. 

When I was young and loved everything about horses, there must have been a subliminal recognition that one day I would learn how to partner with them on an adventure that would eventually impact a great many lives.  

Through this work I  have seen individuals in career transitions find their inspiration, shy individuals open up, depressed individuals take charge of their lives, overbearing individuals learn how to modulate their energy, and individuals whose personal relationships were on the rocks, find their way to mutual respect, balance and peace.  

The experiential sessions create a naturally evolving process where each person learns to quiet the outside world and tune into their greatest teacher, the one that is waiting within themselves.  It is in this way of being that healing and inspiration occurs without effort or intent.

 "As you are looking for your truth outside of yourself, hearing is through the words of others, you will always have that question, for you will hear many different answers, but as you are looking for your truth from that which comes from within you, then you will never question it, for your Inner Being knows the truth that is appropriate for you -- and you may trust it."  - Abraham-Hicks -

 


 
I look forward to welcoming you here! 
 
 
With Warmest Regards,

 "There is a deeply Spiritual connection to horses that greets us with compassion and clarity.  The sheer joy is almost beyond my ability to express, but yet I know it well... 

We find ourselves in awe of those moments in time, 
when we sense the experience of who we are as no longer an experience of separateness... 
but instead an experience of connection to all that is. 
 
The horses guide us as we stand beside them
on this personal and transformational rite of passage.   
 
They lead us into the Sanctuary of the Heart 
where we can find the gateway to our own natural and personal rhythm, 
where we grow by identifying with our inner truths 
and learning to listen-within."  Barbara Alexander

Testimonials

I wanted to thank you for the Reiki Workshop and for all your kindnesses.  It has been yet another deepening journey to North Carolina for me.  My trips to Epona Ridge are like holy pilgrimages... travel to a sacred site, wise teachers in many forms and an opening on yet another level of my heart....

Manci O, Virginia


I loved how you designed the flow of exercises, rituals, and experiences and I felt so supported by you and the horses to live in my heart.  I know energetically I have been changed profoundly.

Wow I just finished the intensive week there at  Epona Ridge with the Horses, cats and of course Barbara.......


Thank you, I wasn't sure before I started working with the horses that they could possibly react to me in ways that were significant only to me..........Much to my amazement they did over and over give me exactly what I needed...........It could be the same horse with different participants and each participant was given exactly what they needed, different behavior for each of us........


I am amazed and grateful to experience this for myself.... I will be there again that is for sure..........
