The day of the horse…
Their presence prompts the soul to pause, listen and learn. To understand more about the mysteries that reside in the silent spaces of life. I was beyond blessed to have shared 22 years of daily lessons from this beautiful girl. She was my greatest teacher.

There is a huge void in our hearts as we mourn the loss of our beautiful lead mare, Desire. She was a fearless leader, calm, confident, sovereign, wise and discerning, collected, a loving teacher and healer.

She gave so much of herself to others over the past 20 years while partnering with me and the herd in offering Equine Assisted Therapy in both WA. and CA. She often knew what others needed before we ourselves knew and gently led us all into greater levels of certainty and trust in our own inner authority, courage and strength.

Her spirit will continue to guide and lead us into the future as we search within for the deposits of wisdom and grace she has left us as her living legacy. Forever with us, Peppy’s Dun “Desire.”

Grace and Grit.
RIP Queen Elizabeth.
We are grateful for your service and your model of feminine leadership in a world that has all to often been absent of quiet and thoughtful wisdom.

4 legged healing wonders. Always attuned, mindful and open to connection when greeted with the same spirit. The truth always shows up when the horse reads you and the energy you are bringing into their space. Pure, honest, unbiased feedback.

You have traveled too fast over false ground;
Now your soul has come to take you back.

Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles you rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.

Imitate the habit of twilight,
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you.

Be excessively gentle with yourself.

Mind - body integration not only helps bring individual healing but collective healing to our hurting world. The horse knows the way. Lean in. Listen. Hear from the wisdom of your body and the world of all things around it.🦋🌺🌿💦🐴

Such a sweet blessing these two ponies are. They always help usher grounding, grace and peace into human hearts.

We decided to organize our activation, Ride to the Polls, because we’ve been hearing that our Native young voters aren’t feeling so motivated to participate ...
