Greetings!

Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful spring!  We have turkeys setting up home in our upper pasture, it is wonderful to have all the spring birds back to visit! 

This week Diane shares more insights as she moves through her process of listening-within in her second workshop to the sacred guidance we all can find.

I have included the
heartwarming video that captured some of these sacred moments attached to her picture below with Cierba... Just click and watch. 

I love to see it over and over and to feel the transition to joy! 
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!

Healing with Horses and The Journey to Joy: Part 2

Cierba profile

Diane signed up for her first workshop at Epona Ridge having found an article talking about the work we did including horses and Abraham-Hicks materials.

"At that point in my life I had no clue about, or use for, taking an emotional journey.


'Just let me do what needs to be done...'


At the end of the first workshop I began looking at myself differently. I was more aware of how I was feeling and more open to how others were feeling.

During the second workshop I became aware of aspects of my life that were draining me and the fact that I was not very good at setting boundaries.

I knew that making some changes would feel better to me but I was too scared to make them.

As unhappy as I was in certain parts of my life...I was comfortable.

These workshops had put things in motion for me to start caring about my happiness.

What I wanted was important... And for me that meant being willing to let go of what wasn't working.


Billy and Joe (Believe and Joy)

Between my second and third workshops I had been told that I had a spirit guide named Billy that was a red and white Mustang. I was told that he would be a powerful teacher for me and I could connect with him through meditation.

I tried but never felt like I connected.

One day I got an email from the Star Ranch, a local equine rescue farm. They had two Mustangs that had been abused and wouldn't allow people near them and they needed some TLC.

I thought, I can do that. I could use what I learned from Barbara and the horses in the workshops about respecting boundaries, feeling the energy layers and reading their body language.

When I got to the farm they were in a three acre pasture. I walked up to them as they gave me permission to.

When I was about 20 feet from the red and white Mustang I asked him silently, are you Billy?

Without hesitation he walked right up to me.

I had made the connection.



Owning My Power

A year later I ended an eleven year relationship and a few months after that I went to my third workshop with Barbara at Epona Ridge.  It was the Inner Journey Workshop which was a week long intensive.

I remember thinking I had probably gotten all I could get out of these workshops.

I couldn't have been more wrong..."

Part 3 will be in next weeks newsletter!

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.

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.

Learning Reiki
at Epona Ridge

'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 ...'
