Open your body, mind and spirit in this three-day introductory retreat that is designed to integrate a beginners practice of Svaroopa Yoga with Equine Facilitated Learning.

If you are seeking to break limiting behavior and thought patterns and the elimination of habits that keep you from reaching your heart's desire, then come and learn how the horses can teach you a new way of being in your world.

No experience with yoga or horses is needed to benefit from this unique workshop, which qualifies you for advance work at Loghaven with Eve or at the Epona Equestrian Center in Sonoita, AZ.

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. Using 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. Participants will have an opportunity to experience a sweat lodge ceremony in honor of the Fall Equinox during this workshop. 

2008 Workshop dates:

September  19-21

Nine to five daily and Saturday evening supper and optional sweat lodge

Cost: $550; $150 nonrefundable deposit reserves space; balance due August 1
