We're returning for our second event, Holding Space with the Herd!

Join Courtney and Bree for a day of gentle reconnection to the body. Gathering together for a day out in nature, and with the guided support of horses, we explore how to tune into the messages from the body to better understand our health, our intuition, and ourselves. All with the underlying understanding that our body is not our enemy, it is always trying to communicate with us and look after us the best it can. And, when we can learn to listen to these messages, we open up opportunities for deeper healing, and self-compassion.

The day will weave together techniques and tools that can be modified for use in day to day life, providing you support not just for one day, but every day. We will add in Equine Facilitated Learning and gentle forest meditations to help your system absorb the teachings of the day.

No prior horse experience necessary.

When: Saturday June 20th, 11:00am - 5:00pm

Where: Address to be provided when you register and submit payment

What to Bring: Lunch, Water, Tea, Journal (if you enjoy journaling and taking notes). Wear comfortable clothes, dress to be outside, close toed shoes are required.

Exchange: $90.00
Spots are filling up quickly, secure your place by sending an e-transfer to
Courtney- rudincourtney@gmail.com or Bree - bree.anaka@gmail.com

This event has space for a maximum of 12 women.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) offers a different way of spending time with horses. One where we aren't doing things to them; rather, we are being with them.

Where we take the time to slow down and start to notice how it feels to be in their presence.

Getting curious about where our body feels safest -- sometimes it's right next to a horse, sometimes it's standing on the other side of the fence.

Noticing how it feels when a horse approaches us, or when one doesn't acknowledge us.

Witnessing their interactions with each other and being curious about the stories we create around them.

And in and amongst all of this, reflecting on how every moment relates back to our own lives. The interactions we have with people close to us. The way we put up boundaries, or lack them. The way it feels to be connected or left out. The way our body sends messages about safety or lack their of. Finding the moments that can start to teach us how to reconnect with our selves and change things no longer serving us.

It is absolutely astounding to witness the transformations people undergo when being with horses in this way.

The emotions that release.

The stories that get let go.

The clear awareness that arises.

The decisions on how to change patterns and write a new story.

If you are curious to learn more about EFL and how it can be a support on your journey, please reach out via DM or email bree.anaka@gmail.com

Now available for online booking, link in comments.

The horses look forward to connecting with you.

I love these moments in a session.

When a little one grabs my hand and places it exactly where they need it to be on their body.

It never ceases to amaze me how aware babies are, and how quickly they pick up on what is happening in their Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Session. It's like they look at me and say "oh! This! I know this! Ok let's shift these tensions and strains ASAP lady, I don't need to carry this anymore!"

These sessions also fill me with such hope for these little ones. They remind me what potential we have when we can let go of our tensions ans traumas with ease, so we don't carry them for the next several decades. It's the invitation to thrive instead of cope.

I simply love it.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, light touch healing modality that activates our innate healing mechanisms through nervous system regulation. It is incresibly profound, yet soft enough for even the youngest of us. If you are curious how this modality can be a support for your little one please don't hesitate to reach out via DM or email bree.anaka@gmail.com

I simply love working with little ones through Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly they can shift and let go of any tensions, traumas, or injuries they may have experienced.

BCST is profound but gentle, using safe, light touch and nervous system stimulation to access deep healing. I have seen this modality have incredible impacts on:

- big birth stories/birth related trauma
- difficulties with latching, eating, and digestion
- difficulties sleeping
- releasing tension and nervousness
- helping settle big emotions
- helping integrate tongue tie releases
- helping to integrate medical procedures/surgeries
- easing physical discomfort when teething, through growth spurts
- supporting deeper bonding between momma and baby

If you are curious how BCST can be a support for your little one, please feel welcome to DM or email bree.anaka@gmail.com

I am happy to consult prior to any booking. Options to come to my healing space or book a mobile session, where I come to see your little in your home. Please note that mom / primary caregiver must be present for the durarion of the session

I really do believe that if we give more support to mommas and their littles, that is how we help change the world.

I am sitting in such gratitude for where life has taken me.

At the end of last week, I was invited back to the UGrowGirl retreat, where I donated Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy sessions to all of the incredible, brave women attending. UGrowGirl is an amazing local organization that offers free healing retreats for women who experienced childhood sexual abuse. They are an organization I beleive in and support very strongly, and I feel so honored to be just one small part of the healing path these women are on.

At the beginning of this week, I was invited back to EQuisdom Therapeutic Horsemanship Association to teach Equine Facilitated Learning to the volunteers of the program. This organization is run by my dear friend Karen; she and her beautiful herd offer therapeutic riding to individuals with increased needs. Witnessing the volunteers experience the healing power of the horses and understanding how the horses in turn support their riders brought such joy to my heart.

And now, I am quietly preparing to host a retreat tomorrow with another dear friend of mine, Courtney. It is the first time hosting an event on my property and I simply cannot wait to share the horses, the land, and the support Courtney and I will weave with everyone attending tomorrow.

There was a time I would not have believed any of this could have been possible. As I reflect back on all the steps, stumbles, and falls it took to get here, I am gently reminded that life always has the potential to get better. It doesn't mean it will always be easy, but if we keep trying, and listen to the nudges from the universe, it is truly amazing where we can find ourselves.

March was filled with so many people expressing gratitude at the by donation offer that the horses and I have decided to extend it for one more month. Whether you are new to this work or a returning client, come see how the horses can be a support for you without any finanical pressure.
