Equine Experiences for Expanded Awareness

Whispered Wisdom™ individual sessions integrate the Epona Approach™, natural horsemanship, Feldenkrais body awareness, Centered Riding™ and various other modalities to create a unique experience for equestrians and non-equestrians alike.  (No horse experience required).  Individual or small group sessions available at your location or mine, with my horses or your own horse(s).  Both participant and horse become empowered and alternate leadership when appropriate: build faith, confidence, and trust in each other through this amazing work. Experience a deeper level of relationship built upon mutual respect, stronger communication, and the desire for true partnership.  Learn to develop the relationships you dream about.

    Life and Transition Coaching for Transformation 

    Life/Transition coaching to facilitate the transformations you desire in your life.  Job/career change, relationship change, location change, or change in life directions create the need to transform our thoughts, attitudes, or ways of being in order to bring happiness and joy into our lives.  By tapping into your own inner wisdom and calling upon the universal abundance available to each of us, each transition has the potential for greatness.  I can help you find the path you want to take and help guide you on your journey.

    Available over the phone.   1:1 face to face available locally.

    Contact Holli for specific needs. I can develop customized programs.
    Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning and Life/Transitions Coaching are not therapy.  There is also Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy, but this is not it.  If you would like to work with a therapist, I will gladly give you a list of suggested individuals to work with.  I can also set up some time to work with you and your therapist utilizing the same exercises and learning experiences.  This could be done on an individual basis.  If you have any clinical conditions that require a licensed therapist to be present these group workshops are not right for you.  The focus of these workshops and any coaching session is for personal growth; which includes expanded awareness, personal power, empowerment, balance, and relationship building to name a few.  It is not for clinical treatment.
    Contact me if you have any questions.

    2008 Schedule

     

     All Workshops based upon the

    Epona Approach™

     

    Custom Workshops are available.  All workshops are limited to 6 participants unless otherwise noted.

     

     Most workshops are set up to accommodate all types of participants; equestrian and non-equestrian alike.  No previous horse experience required unless otherwise noted.  Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning is not about being an expert around horses; it is about allowing horses to co-facilitate personal growth and exploration.  By tapping into the innate wisdom of these magnificent creatures who are emotional geniuses and energetic magicians, we have the opportunity to exponentially expand our inner and outer awareness. 

     

    Give yourself this gift; it is like nothing you have ever experienced!

    Whispered Wisdom ™

     

    Whispered Wisdom ™ is an introductory workshop exploring alternative ways of knowing and communicating with horses as our guides.  Horses offer the human greater understanding in how emotions provide information for living authentic and creative lives.  They provide opportunity to explore energy fields and how to get back in contact with alternative sources of personal wisdom and power. This counts as an Epona approved workshop which allows the participant to attend an advanced workshop here or at Epona. 

     

    $395 includes lunch and snacks                                               No Riding
    9:30 AM - 5 PM                          No previous horse experience required

    Whispered Wisdom ™ One Day Introductory Workshops

    Great option for groups, families, or workgroups who want to mutually experience a new way of relating and understanding.

     

    Whispered Wisdom ™ one day introductory workshops will provide the basic concepts as well as possibly one experiential exercise with the horses.  It will give you the flavor of the Epona Approach™, yet it does not count towards eligibility to attend an advanced workshop.

     

    $200 includes lunch and snacks                                                No Riding
    9:30 AM - 5 PM                           No previous horse experience required

    Eye to Eye ™ 

     

    Eye to Eye™ is more than an introductory workshop.  Although all of the foundational points will be covered, we will also be exploring the horse’s “perspective” through the use of spirit horse masks.  Each participant will be able to embellish and take home a mask.  “SEEING OTHER POINTS OF VIEW” will be emphasized. This counts as an Epona approved workshop which allows the participant to attend an advanced workshop here or at Epona. 

     

    $695 includes lunch and snacks                                                No Riding
    9:30 AM - 5 PM approx.               No previous horse experience required

    Earthwalk™

     

    Earthwalk™; Remembering the WAY through horses.  This is our newest annual workshop co-facilitated by Kathleen Barry Ingram (co-founder of the Epona Approach™).  We are all here on this Earthwalk™ with the knowledge and wisdom we need to experience what we are here to experience.  Horses help us remember our interconnectedness to all things.  In this workshop you will reconnect to your inner wisdom, rediscover your personal sanctuary, and reclaim the sacred space of possibility.  You will develop a personal relationship with the silence.  All participants receive a copy of Linda's newest book Way of the Horse: Equine Archetypes for Self-Discovery.  This counts as an Epona approved workshop which allows the participant to attend an advanced workshop here or at Epona.

    The Dance™

     

    The Dance ™ is more than an introductory workshop as the extra days allow deeper exploration and discovery.  Expectation is that all participants will have attended some form of EPONA work, workshop or individual sessions, or read all of Linda's books or equivalent.  We will review the basics and then continue with additional active (horse dancing) round pen work as well as creative sessions.  You will be learning to dance with horses, ideas, intuition, and wisdom. This counts as an Epona approved workshop which allows the participant to attend an advanced workshop here or at Epona.
