Life on the Ranch is stirring and showing signs of activity; Spring is in the air. On the river bend and surrounding the pastures, you can see the bursting buds on the trees and the spring flowers coloring the landscape. It’s foal season, and we are excited to welcome new life from our beautiful Gypsy Vanners. Attune to the vibrancy of spring, as we allow ourselves to be drawn into the wonder of a very intimate Candlelight Sound Sanctuary. The spacious and subtle sounds of Tibetan and crystal bowls, gongs, bells, flutes and other healing instruments invite a deep state of relaxation, while calming our nervous systems and speaking softly to the deepest part within each one of us.
This is a public offering for those wishing to experience an expanded state of awareness like never before.
Stand Heart-to-Heart with a Horse and Find Yourself
This nourishing weekend begins with contact and connection with self and other - honoring the graceful woman within. We start the morning with meditation, sound and movement to give us the opportunity for deep, internal listening. We will collaborate with horse and community to bring more awareness to the ways in which we communicate beyond words.
After a leisurely lunch by the river, we move into direct connection with Equus. As we stand heart to heart with a horse, we begin to balance our energy, and allow ourselves to honor and truly fall in love with our inner beauty. We become spiritually renewed and invigorated - body, mind and soul.
Find new friends, connect, support and build your confidence.
After a light dinner, we support each other in opening up possibilities and empowering old and new passions, drawing them out to the forefront of our minds and applying them to our vision. Sharing our dreams of a new life-discovery journey.
We end our day around the crackling flames of our campfire. Our private campground is opened to those who choose to spend the night in nature. In the light of the morning, we will start with an optional gentle stretch.
The sounds of Sunday draw you back ...
In the light of the morning, we will start with an optional gentle stretch for early birds and a nutritious breakfast. We will gather to breathe and meditate with the horses, as they join us in renewing our energy and reviving our souls. The afternoon will end with a ceremony of sharing and encouragement in the unique direction we each choose as we continue onward on our spiritual healing journey.
