One day retreat/workshop offering the opportunity to be in relationship with a herd of wise gentle hearted horses within the sacred realm of nature.

Facilitated by Jackie Lowe Stevenson MSSA LISW and a gentle herd of horses to:

  • Explore what truly has heart and meaning for you.
  • Expand your capacity to be more fully present to the moment.
  • Reconnect with your aliveness and creative spirit.

The focus is not on riding and the work takes place on the ground. No Horse experience is necessary.

Horses embody instinct, power and grace. They inspire our dreams and awaken creativity. Interactions with horse wisdom and empathy brings us closer to our instinctual self. Relationship with these magnificent beings is a sacred privilege.

Nature soothes the soul and is an abundant source of creative and healing energy. As we dwell in nature and enter into silent dialogue with her we also enter into quiet dialogue with ourselves. Within the sacred power of nature familiar patterns are often challenged and resources untapped become available.

Human relationship with Horse and Nature expands our capacity for focus, intention and integration to help ourselves and others embody the gifts of self empowerment, self healing, and spiritual awakening.

Partnering with horses, working in nature and accessing embodied intelligence we will engage in innovative work to learn about embodied presence and to explore our natural leadership.
We are born natural leaders trusting our senses and responding in authentic and natural ways. Natural leadership begins with being uniquely ourselves and leading truer to our nature. Essential to the mastery of embodied presence and natural leadership is the capacity to be in alignment with who we are, the values we embody and the actions we take in our personal life and work world.
Horses are remarkable teaches of leadership and presence and facilitators of human development. They have an amazing ability to resonate with our true emotions and reflect back to us our authentic self.   It is not about horsemanship, it's about relationship with self and others.
Come prepared to be with the horses in a natural environment and dress for the weather. The focus is not on riding and all of the work takes place on the ground. Following your registration you will receive an e-mail with directions to the workshop and workshop information.
