Awakening to Spirit through the Way of the Horse
August 20, 2009 by EveBLee
Experience a deeper awareness of yourself, identify your personal roadblocks, and explore areas of bodily tension that inhibit your ability to reach your own true potential as you meet and engage with the Equine Magic Appaloosa herd. Allow your body, mind, and spirit to awaken and move to a new rhythm in our changing world amidst shifting reality.
Through a series of specially designed activities in a group setting, you will receive a boost in self esteem and confidence that comes from learning how to establish boundaries as you engage and direct a thousand pound creature using mental focus, creative visualization and clarity of intent.
Prior experience with horses is not necessary, and all activities with horses are on the ground in this workshop.

* Uncovering the messages behind emotions

Healing Ourselves through the Way of the Horse
March 20, 2009 by EveBLee
This three-day introductory Equine Facilitated Learning workshop provides an opportunity for interacting with the Loghaven Appaloosa herd to experience the healing power of horses. With the archetype of Chiron the Wounded Healer as a guide, participants will explore ways of overcoming personal issues and accepting the lessons life has given. Chiron has become a symbol for the great wisdom and healing power for others that arises from the pain that has been borne. Horses have the ability to reflect our experiences of abandonment and wounding by the arrows of life so that healing begins.
Activities will include reflective round pen work with the horses, guided meditations, a journey ride on horseback (no experience required), creative expressions of the messages behind emotions and false self voices, and a cleansing and releasing ceremony. Svaroopa Yoga will begin each day, and individual intensives with the horses can be scheduled before or after this workshop.
This introductory workshop is a qualification for advanced work in Equine Facilitated Learning at Loghaven with Eve and with Linda Kohanov at the Epona Equestrian Center in Arizona.
