“I knew when I walked into the living room at the ranch house at Dove Creek for Led by Horses, I felt I had found a place to belong, my safe place. I was out of balance which was offset by the warmest welcome from all in the room. I felt an immediate trust with the group, although I had been alone. I needed help to heal and found my spirit place here. I will never forget my encounter with this loving place and my new learning. Connecting with Horse and the daily ceremonies and teachings from inspiring coaches are for a lifetime. Thank you!”

Human beings have a lot in common with the Phoenix. Carl Gustav Jung, author of “Symbols of Transformation”, explains that this archetypal fiery creature, with the ability to rise majestically out of the ashes of its own destruction, also symbolizes the power of resilience. By this, we mean our incomparable ability to update ourselves into much stronger, braver, and brighter beings (The Myth of the Phoenix, Valeria Sabater). Epona, the ancient Celtic goddess of horses and mares, links the horse, the divine, and the feminine. Ancient myths and legends help us understand the incredible draw that so many women have to horses. Epona reminds us of a time when women and horses were sacred, honored, and free.

“The experience I had was greater than I could have imagined. First and foremost, I had an extreme fear of horses. Not only did my fear of horses completely disappear, I spent time in the ring with one of the largest, thoroughbred horses at the ranch. After that beautiful, deep work we did together, I later found myself in the pasture with 20 horses, lighter, no fear and in love with all of them. It was an afternoon I will never forget. The medicine wheel work also opened me up to a connection and practice I hadn’t ever been exposed to before. I still use those techniques in my everyday life to be more grounded and connected to something greater than myself. It is beautiful work that I have a lot of respect for. Overall, my dreams are continuing to awaken every day, month, and year, but the foundation and work that I experienced that weekend, has helped to transform my life. ”
