Greetings!

This week's edition is about Diane's journey and her first reaction to the heart entrainment that happens when we open ourselves to a non-dominance relationship with horses.

Diane's is a heartwarming story of one woman who learned to listen-within, following her heart through her sadness, opening to the lessons from the horses and learning how to find her own reservoir of joy!


Some of our stories will be shared in parts, as each person grows over a period of time with multiple workshops and experiences with the horses.

In this issue, please click on the picture of Diane and Cierba posted with the article below to see the heartwarming video that captured some of these sacred moments. I hope you enjoy her story!

I am deeply appreciative that you are joining me in this wonderful journey!  Please remember to send this on to anyone you feel might enjoy and benefit from our sacred work with the horses.

Thank you so much for your support. As always, I love hearing from you!

With Warmest Regards,
Barbara Alexander

Reiki Certification:
The Heart of Healing Workshop

May 20-23, 2010  A Four Day Retreat
reiki epona ridge

Reiki is a powerful healing process that is more about a way of Being than it is about doing...  True healing comes from a clear intention, uncluttered by resistance. 

For a student to master the true Sacred Art of Reiki, takes a unique kind of dedication: one where the healer/teacher learns to open to their Universal Connection and allow the loving, Reiki energy to come streaming through them as a clear channel, without attachment to the outcome. 

This workshop is not just about the methodology and certification. It offers a way of Being that includes the Wisdom of the Horse as you walk the path of the Healer. 

It is a lifetime of expansion.

'Thank you so much for providing a space for us to "be" Reiki, because learning to "do" Reiki is just a small part of the process.'  

'I was in the Reiki Level 1 workshop and what a profound experience it was.  I came just to learn Reiki, but I gained so much more.

I experienced many amazing shifts within and around me during this workshop. 

Incorporating reflection with the horses, time for introspection, the labyrinth, the video and too many other tools & experiences to mention brought this learning to a deep, spiritual level...

How wonderful it is to be able to share this gift with myself, family, animals & nature and to live in harmony with my Reiki intention ...'

"I was studying to become a Life Coach and part of that process was coming up with our #1 goal... 

With that goal in mind we could ask ourselves, "Does this, (fill in the blank), move me in the direction of my goal?" If the answer was no, then don't bother, but if it was a yes, do it!

Several months later I found myself leafing through the New Life Journal and saw an article about a workshop at Epona Ridge.

All I remember was that it mentioned horses and Law of Attraction, two things I loved. I asked myself the question, and I got a big YES!

My first Epona Ridge workshop
The first day of the workshop... I walked over to Cierba's stall, she is a big bay mare and she was eating her hay.

I stood stood so close I could hear her chewing and then the tears just came... I had never had that experience before and I quickly looked around at the others that were there, no one else was crying and I wondered what had just happened to me.

As I talked about my experience, I realized that I missed my connection with horses. At least that is what I thought it was all about at the time, but I was soon to learn it was that, and SO much more.  

It was the beginning of my journey, and I found that I was able to "hear" things much easier from a horse than I ever could from a person...

Finding Inner Balance and Peace
A Spiritual Journey with Horses
Cierba and Sandra
July 12-17, 2010 Six-Day Workshop

The 'Sacred Dance of Relationship'
  • Advanced Reflective Experiences with Horses
  • Re-balancing with Chakra Sound Therapy
  • Energy and Boundary Awareness
  • Mindfulness Practices, Fully Being in the Moment
The retreat provides a wonderfully reflective adventure as you open to your inner journey of balance and personal joy.  

We start with a focus on the lower energy centers, the first through fourth Chakras which help us with understanding and valuing emotions, our sense of security, honor in relationships, care of oneself and self confidence. 

We continue into the 5th, 6th and 7th energy centers working with our sense of choice and strength of intention, personal expression, sense of inner peace, and the use of personal power to create.  

This retreat enhances the awareness of non-verbal communication between ourselves and others in the sacred dance of life.  The horses guide us to clear resistance, find inspiration, and open new doors to creative talents and joy.
