Your little reminder that love isn’t something we need to search for…it is who we are. Be love and find that love is everywhere…and when we stop searching for something outside of ourselves, we are finally free.🤍

Mantra: 🕉️ “Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu“ means “‘May all beings everywhere be happy and free.”

SOUL STORIES is back in Tottenham this July 26 with another opportunity to turn your wounds into wisdom! 🖤

“At the end of the Soul Stories workshop, I was feeling much more connected to myself as going through this process helped me understand the layers in my soul story and identify some truth and beliefs that may not have been accurate that I am now ready to release for my higher good. I really enjoyed the whole process and spending time with the horses was magical. Fotini held such a beautiful safe place for all of us." ~ Monica G, Soul Stories participant

✨energy check in
✨intention setting

✨clarity and connection
✨the ‘golden nugget’

Navigating transition together 🪶

I am so grateful for the Herd and the special way we have been supporting each other through the greatest change we have experienced so far on our journey together.

The sacred Ascension of our Matriarch, Penny, has asked us each to reconnect with ourselves on a deeper level and renegotiate what we are bringing ‘to the table’ within the Herd.

In the language of the Herd, this means checking back in with the Gifts each of us bring and modulating the energy we each bring forth, moving forward. Finding our new way to walk in sync…

While the grief is real, the celebration of Penny’s Life is equally profound and her love and presence remains our inspiration as we navigate these winds of change.

Today, Isa laid down for the first time in a while. She has been the primary ‘safe keeper’ for Penny, who spent many hours in the vulnerable position (especially for a non-predatory animal) of laying down. Isa would stand over her for hours, scanning the surrounding environment for threats of danger to the Herd and, in particular, to Penny.

This evening, the air was calm while we stood together - in a new and evolved way - finding our way back to Oneness from the shift.

It feels like we have landed again, looking up at the Crow overhead each morning thus far, reminding us of the magic and mystery of Penny’s Ascension and of the Great Spirit that flows within us all. The Earth holds us while she flies. I have received the gift of a Crow feather twice this past week which my heart knows is a sign of her safe travels Home to freedom.

I am SUPER EXCITED to share that The Sacred Horse Stewardship program is now available to anyone who missed the LIVE experience through our online courses at Awaken With Horses International!

This program is a compilation of Eastern practices and Equine-guided wisdom that helps us Steward in ways that support the whole Horse ~ in harmony with their true Nature. In the process, we are reminded of our own true Nature too!

Some of the topics include: Iridology, Acupressure, Aromatherapy, Energy Medicine, Equine Ayurveda, Vibrational Healing & Telepathy.

We welcome the wisdom of renowned practitioners and experts in the field, Jesse McCowan, Theresa Gilligan, Anna Twinney and myself, Fotini Chandrika - for a century of combined experience with Horses.

From our participants:

“I want to thank you and all of the other Teachers! What a beautiful offering to honour the Horses and to give back to them. I found it all very inspiring.” ~ Rona Welsh-Fromager

“Thank you for providing such a fulfilling program for those looking to create a deeper connection with their equine companions. The content you provided was plentiful, informative, enriching and this course truly left me enlightened! You created a program that had so much variety, spanning so many similar disciplines yet each unique in their own way. I am grateful to each of the instructors, who are clearly experts in their field. This program tapped my thirst for knowledge and I am confident that I will continue down this learning journey.” ~ Tracy Bucholtz

Once you complete the online program, you are welcome to join us here on our farm in Ontario, Canada for our two day Stewardship retreat (June 15 &16) to continue the journey of The Sacred Horse Stewardship Program and put into practice some of the concepts brought forward in this very special program.

Please visit the ‘Online Courses’ link on our website (you can also find it in the comments) to join from the comfort of your home or barn.
