Epona Ridge Center

To live deeper we have to go to the places that help us find slower rhythm. But simply going to these places is not enough. We have to let these places touch us, change us speak to us. We have to be able to listen with the very cells of our being to truly receive what the place has to offer to us. If you can listen, you will hear the truth you may have forgotten, the truth that lets you sit still, the truth that who you are is enough.

*Excerpt from Dance, Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Asheville, North Carolina

Our location is within minutes of downtown Asheville, North Carolina, which is an incredible vacation destination within itself. Asheville has just been designated one of the top twelve destinations in the world for vacations.

Epona Ridge is close to the end of a winding private road and halfway up a majestic mountain in north Asheville, with west-facing , long-range mountain views above pasture, surrounded by woods, a stream, and the peaceful sounds of nature.

Here you will find an enchanting environment to help you access the sanctuary of your heart with the help of the horses.

Due to the geographic surroundings of this private cove, you feel as if you are in your very own sacred hideaway.

The center has many outside rooms, and comfortable inside space as well to accommodate the various workshop experiences in any weather conditions.

The Picadero

You will find a unique and beautiful property where the horses roam freely on the mountain side. They come and go at will from their Picadero, making for an enchanted encounter in your work with the horses.

The source of this Picadero or ‘temple of the horse’ is far back in history predating the time of the Templar Knights when man communed with their horse in a meditative connection.

Designed with ancient sacred geometry, the circle in the square grounds the earth energy in the spiritual and creates the perfect space for opening one's heart to the mystery of the dance of life.

With the Noble characteristics of the Andalusian horses and some "Magical" miniature horses, combined with the surrounding nature that exists here on Epona Ridge ... you will find yourself in your own natural rhythm for living.

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....

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..........
