Earth Wisdom, Horse Wisdom: A Nature Retreat with Horses
With Oriane Lee Johnston and Kera Willis
September 11 - 14, 2020
How long has it been since you felt kinship with life beyond your own? What does it mean to truly learn from another species? Come journey into the heart of nature with horses as our wayfinders.
Horses naturally attune moment-by-moment to changes in each other and in their environment. Being in their presence rebalances humans, too, by bringing the energy fields of our hearts and brains into a state of coherence–that’s why being around them feels so good. A herd teaches us the practice of equanimity–equine-imity–to stand “in the middle of all” with true composure. Within a community of horses, we learn how to strengthen our resilience, love and wise action in response to the challenges of our life and the world today.
On a beautiful Cortes Island farm, our field days include breath and body meditations, joyful play with the horses on the ground, quiet reflection with the herd and hands-on, up-close connection.
Everyone welcome.
Oriane Lee will also be offering Horse Play for Families on July 16-19.
