The Epona Approach

The Epona Approach^™

After evaluating many different forms of equine therapeutic programs, Barbara Alexander, Founder and Director of Epona Ridge, choose to study and apprentice with Kathleen Barry Ingram and Linda Kohanov, author, horse trainer and founder of the Epona Approach™ which has received international attention for horses in the work of human development.

The teachings of Linda Kohanov most closely aligned with Barbara's key values in the horse/human relationship. There was an alignment in the methodology for integrating partnership in facilitation with horses, as they support healing at liberty and are treated with honor and respect.

This process, combined with the principles of Epona Ridge to empower the human spirit, have culminated into programs that offer enhanced creativity, joy and inspiration.

Workshops at Epona Ridge specialize in personal development including relationships, emotional fitness, mindfulness, personal empowerment, Reiki energy healing and biofeedback, authentic community building, enhanced intuition, and interspecies communication.

Who Is Epona?

Epona is the ancient Celtic Goddess known as the protectress of horses, their riders, caretakers and stables.

Historically, there were altars for Epona in most barns across Europe as horses were greatly appreciated for all that they did helping with farming, providing a means of transportation, serving in war as they carried their riders into battle to help protect their land and families.

Horses became dear friends and family members to those that loved them. Epona became known as a symbol of the Divine Inner Feminine, healing transformation, balance and strength.

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..........
