Welcome to Awaken With Horses! I am so happy you are here. I wanted to take some time to re-introduce myself to you as well as the very special practice I am so blessed to share with Horses.

I am a Certified Trauma Informed Yoga Therapist, Expressive Arts Facilitator & Intuitive Guide at JoyRise.ca Restorative Wellness & Intentional Livng. As most of you know, I am also the Founder of Awaken With Horses International, where I am wholeheartedly devoted to the mission of The Sacred Horse to lead the way to a better world for all beings. I offer intuitively guided, creative, private sessions, small group retreats and various training opportunities, supported by my Herd of incredible Horses in Tottenham, Ontario, Canada. I strongly believe in the importance of reciprocal wellbeing between both Horse and Human. Through my online support programs for Horse Stewards and Equine Guided Professionals, I share over two decades of personal and professional experience in the study and practice of holistic care for and thriving partnership with Horses with equine enthusiasts from around the world. I am the co-creator of powerful message cards called ‘The Sacred Horse Cards: Messages from the Field of Wisdom’. The 44 card deck is beautifully illustrated with original artwork by Spirit Horse Artist, Diana Lancaster. The cards can be purchased at www.AwakenWithHorses.com.

Once again, thank you for being here with me and sharing the dream of my heart and the hearts of so many, perhaps your heart too. The dream of living in harmony with Horses, Nature and our authentic selves...making the world a better place for us all.

With love and gratitude,
Fotini Chandrika

Words can’t even begin to express what it was like to welcome our dear client back after an almost 2 year hiatus from our special work. A practice we hold so so deep in our heart and a practice that needed time to process and integrate in its sacred evolution.

The power of intention was clear today. The intentions of the Herd and the intentions of our client seamlessly connected in unity and pure harmony. Much was learned today. And much was unlearned.

And most of all, we all walked away remembering what it is like to know, without a doubt, that, at any given moment, we are exactly where we are meant to be.

“it was a truly inspirational time today🤍 I appreciate you and the horses for always creating the space to be vulnerable and sharing your wisdom. Every session is always different in the best way. It really helps to let go of expectations and trust the process. I Thankyou with all my heart. The work you all do really is an honour to be apart of 🖤“

“There are no words to describe the horse heart connection teachings that Fotini and the Horse Teachers have helped guide me and my herd on this beautiful journey. Fotini is absolutely beautiful on the inside and out. She is so knowledgeable, and supportive. I highly recommend this experience of learning Horse Wisdom Yoga® with her and her beautiful Horse Teachers. It has been transformational for my Horses lives and mine. It has awakened my insights into connecting with my Horses on such a deep level. So blessed and grateful” ~Tammy DeGraw, Horse To Heart Wellness

Tonight is a threshold. A clearing. A call to soften, shed, and breathe before the next cycle begins.

As we approach 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, the energy rising ahead is bold, electric, and transformative.

The Spirit of Horse teaches us to run free, break old patterns, and trust our inner wildness. The Fire element multiplies that power — bringing vitality, momentum, creativity, and evolutionary change.

For those who walk with the Spirit of Horse in heart, 2026 brings:
A surge of courage and independence
Renewed clarity of purpose
Opportunities to lead, create, and expand
Invitations to burn away limitations
A new era of soul-charge and spiritual motion
This is not a quiet year ahead — it is a gallop.

Tonight’s Full Moon opens the gate!
Moon + Horse Energy: A Sacred Portal

This Cold Supermoon acts as a ceremonial bridge between cycles.

The Moon softens the Earth beneath our hooves…
so we can run farther when the Fire Horse arrives.

Use tonight’s amplified energy to:
Release what has been weighing you down
Clarify the trail you want to take in 2026
Call your power back from the past year
Feel the spark of the Horse within your Spirit
Let Moonlight bathe your intentions
and let Horse energy breathe life into them.

Some things to consider:
What do I want to leave behind before galloping into 2026?
Where is my Soul asking me to run next?
How will I honor my freedom in the coming Fire Horse year?

As we embrace the festivities that come with this time of year and prepare for the newness of 2026 on the horizon, may the Divine light continue to soften your Spirit and illuminate your truth.

Feel the Horse within you awaken to the spark of fire —
hooves drumming, heart awakening, soul widening.

May you gallop into 2026 with clarity, courage, and a wild, radiant freedom!

Hooves high. Hearts open. Moon-bright blessings.

With love & gratitude,

Fotini & The Herd

What is mundane to one, is pure magnificence to another.

Nature, I run to your beauty. I find peace in your embrace. I bow to your generosity. I live through your Grace. 🙏🏽

The other side has never felt so good.

Being separated from my Horses for a year was one of the hardest things I have experienced.

They were living a half hour away and I could only commit to being with them once per day to care for them, which presented so many challenges.

With divine guidance and it’s perfect timing, the Herd and I are finally together again (4 minutes away from each other) and it feels like the way things used to be.

None of us know when our time of ascension will be called. But when you love a 40 year old Horse, you know every single moment is a special gift of time.

This is the way I always want to remember us.

Me and my Horses are finally back together again. We are hOMe. 🖤

“WOW! What an incredible experience I had this summer with Fotini Chandrika and Awaken with Horses. As a Reiki practitioner and longtime horse lover, I felt strongly called to combine the two loves. After researching possibilities for training, I was guided to Fotini...horse whisperer extraordinaire! When I shared my intention to offer Reiki with the healing energy of horses in Mexico, Fotini was excited to put together a private training program for me during my summer in Canada including Reiki Master and Equine Reiki. Her training was pure magic...guiding me to really listen and learn from the horses. The horses say so much, and she helped me learn how to hear, see and feel their messages. Fotini led me through several exercises both in class and in the field to show me the strength of my intuition and energetic connection. It was truly a magical week of healing!

I’m happy to say, I’m back in Mexico and now sharing Reiki with Horses! Every week offers new growth, connection and love.

I highly recommend training with Fotini...she’s amazing!”

I am so very grateful to receive such beautiful feedback doing work that I love with all my heart. Thank you so very much! I am excited to witness your journey with Horses continue to unfold!🙏🏽🖤

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.”
