Epona Retreat Centre Our mission is to allow our clients to disconnect from everyday stresses & enhance wellness. https://eponaretreats.com/9-steps-to-unleash-your-inner-power.

We gently introduce nature and the intuition of horses to connect with your own awareness specifically through horses & Movement Meditations Noreen specialises in women's personal and professional development through equine learning and energy healing and provides Animal Reiki Teachings, Reiki Energy Healing, Equine Therapy, Bespoke Retreats & Meditations at Epona facilitated by her 3 horses, Ruby

, Lizzie and Isabel. At Epona Retreat Centre, its unique selling points have proven that the horse's behaviour matches a person's behaviour. During my sessions, the horses change the new carers' attitude and behaviours to become more empowered by listening to their inner wisdom, which brings about the inner power of leadership, gains clarity in their vision of purpose, and builds their confidence and trust in holding space for themselves during uncertain times. Check out my on-line programme where I help professional woman who want to find their purpose, direction and increase confidence through the revolutionary programme that taps into the power of the horses. Ask to join my Private Facebook Group Epona Celtic Goddess of Horses - it is for like-hearted souls who feel pulled to, connect more deeply with their intuition and wisdom, and embrace their spiritual gifts with the energy vibration of the horses and mother nature.

✨ WELCOME SEPTEMBER LISTENING TO THE LAND 🌿🐴🌳

As we move beyond the energy of the Full Moon, something beautiful has been opening here at Epona.

A deeper sense of creativity.
A feeling of being guided.
A knowing that there is more to create, nurture and bring to life on this land. ✨

For the past few years, we have talked about building a shelter for the horses. Somehow, the timing was never quite right and now we feel the gentle guidance to begin.

Not just where should it go, but where does it feel right?

Where does it belong within the energy of the land?
Where will the horses feel held, safe and connected?

And then came another knowing.

🌳 Plant more trees.

At Epona, we are always reminded that bringing new energy into the land helps the old flourish.

New trees.
New roots.
New growth.
New possibilities.

While honouring the ancient trees, the old yew, the hedgerows, the horses and everything that has been here long before us. 🌿

Perhaps this is the invitation of September

To plant new seeds not only in the earth, but within ourselves.

To create space for something new while honouring everything that has carried us this far.

To listen rather than force.
To feel rather than think.
To trust rather than control.

And sometimes, before we can step into something new, we need to gently honour what we are carrying from the past.

❤️GRIEF & LOSS RETREAT — 12th September

A sacred day at Epona for anyone experiencing loss whether through the death of someone we love, the loss of a relationship, friendship, work, identity or a chapter of life.

A day to gently acknowledge what has been lost, to give space to the grief and perhaps discover somewhere for that love to flow.

Because grief has no timeline.
And sometimes, grief is simply love with nowhere to go.

✨ ANIMAL REIKI LEVEL 1 — 26th September

An opportunity to deepen your connection with animals, energy and the beautiful language of presence.

A day of learning, connection and healing, held here at Epona alongside the animals and the energy of the land.

Both days are invitations to pause, reconnect and listen to what your heart is asking of you.

Just as we are learning to listen to the land.

Perhaps September is asking you to listen to yourself.

To honour what has been.
To release what is ready to go.
To plant new seeds.
And to trust what is beginning to grow.

Feeling deeply grateful and blessed to be the custodian of this beautiful land, to walk alongside the horses and trees, and to share this space with those who are called here.

Epona continues to remind me that when we listen deeply, the land always knows the way. 🌳🐴✨

Happy September from Epona Retreat Centre. ❤️

🌕✨ THE STURGEON FULL MOON AT EPONA ✨🌕

Tonight, beneath the light of the Sturgeon Full Moon, we are invited to slow down to breathe and to surrender.

There is something deeply beautiful about standing beneath a Full Moon with the horses, surrounded by ancient trees and the energy of the land at Epona.

This Full Moon whispers a simple message:

You do not need to have all the answers.
You do not need to force what is unfolding.
Simply be present with what is. 🌕🐴🌿

The Sturgeon Moon is named after the ancient sturgeon fish a creature of incredible resilience, endurance and instinct, one that has existed for millions of years.

And perhaps this is the medicine this Full Moon brings us:

✨ RESILIENCE & ENDURANCE
Remember the strength that already lives within you. You have travelled through difficult waters before. Trust your ability to keep moving, even when you cannot yet see the way forward.

✨ HARVEST & REFLECTION
As summer begins to gently turn towards autumn, pause and look at the seeds you planted earlier this year. What has grown? What are you ready to harvest? And what deserves your gratitude?

✨ RELEASE & SURRENDER
Full Moons offer us an opportunity to let go old stories, old patterns, expectations, fears and anything we have been carrying that no longer belongs to us.

The horses are beautiful teachers of this.

They don’t live yesterday.
They don’t worry about tomorrow.
They meet us exactly where we are.

Present.
Aware.
Connected. 🐴

✨ TRUST YOUR INNER KNOWING
The sturgeon navigates deep waters through ancient instinct.

The horses do the same.

They remind us to quiet the noise of the mind and listen to the quieter voice within the voice of intuition, feeling and knowing.

And perhaps most importantly, this Full Moon invites us to return to our joy.

Return to the things that make your heart feel alive.

Return to your passions.

Return to nature.

Return to yourself.

And remember that self-love is not selfish. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is stop giving from an empty cup and allow ourselves to receive, rest, breathe and simply be.

🌕 Tonight, ask yourself:

What am I ready to release?

What am I being invited to surrender?

What has grown within me?

Where is my joy calling me?

And what would it feel like to trust myself a little more?

Under the Sturgeon Moon, may we surrender what we cannot control, honour how far we have travelled, and trust the wisdom that already lives within us.

Let the horses hold the space.
Let the land ground you.
Let the trees witness you.
And let the Moon illuminate what your heart already knows. 🌕🐴🌳✨

Sending you lots of love & light.
Noreen ❤️

There is a beautiful place of peace that exists within and around us a place I call the Zone.

When we are stressed, overwhelmed or carrying emotional pain, our awareness can become very contracted. We can become caught up in our thoughts, our emotions and everything happening inside our bodies.

The horses teach us something different.

They naturally live in a much wider field of awareness. They are constantly sensing the space around them, noticing subtle changes and responding to what they feel.

When I work with people alongside my horses, I gently invite them to expand their awareness beyond themselves into the field, the trees, the earth, the sky and the presence of the horses.

We slow down.

We breathe.

We become aware of the space around us.

And something begins to shift.

The body can soften. The mind can become quieter. We can feel less confined by what we are carrying and begin to experience a sense of spaciousness, connection and safety.

I call this finding your Zone.

It isn’t about forcing anything or trying to make something happen. It is about creating enough space to listen, feel and reconnect with yourself.

The horses become our teachers and mirrors. They don’t judge. They simply respond to what is present.

And sometimes, when we stop trying to fix ourselves and simply allow ourselves to be, we discover that peace was there all along.

What would it feel like to expand your awareness today?

Where is your Zone of Peace?

At Epona Retreat Centre, I support people through gentle equine-assisted experiences, helping them reconnect with themselves through the wisdom and presence of the horses, the land and nature.

Come into the field.
Take a breath.
Create some space.
Find your Zone.

Sending you lots of love & light.
Noreen 💗

🌑🦁✨ NEW MOON • SOLAR ECLIPSE • A POWERFUL NEW BEGINNING ✨🦁🌑

Today, 12th August 2026, we move into a very powerful cosmic moment a New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse in Leo. 🌞🌑🦁

Following the energy of the Lion’s Gate 8:8, this feels like another invitation to pause, listen deeply and ask ourselves:

Who am I becoming?
What am I ready to leave behind?
Where have I been playing small?
What does my heart truly desire? ❤️

A Solar Eclipse is like an amplified New Moon a powerful doorway for new beginnings, transformation and intention setting.

Leo brings the energy of the heart, courage, creativity, confidence and authentic self-expression. It invites us to step out of the shadows and allow more of our true light to be seen. ✨

And perhaps this is the perfect time to remember…

🌿 You don’t have to have everything figured out.
🦁 You simply have to be brave enough to listen to your heart.
❤️ You are allowed to choose yourself.
✨ You are allowed to dream bigger.
🌱 You are allowed to begin again.

🌑 A simple New Moon Eclipse ritual

Find a quiet place tomorrow, perhaps beneath a tree, beside your horses, or somewhere in nature.

Take a few slow breaths and place your hands over your heart.

Ask yourself:

“What is my heart calling me towards now?”

Write down 3 brave, heart-led intentions for the next chapter of your life.

Don’t worry about how they will happen.

Simply allow yourself to feel what it would be like to live them. ✨

You might also choose a crystal to sit with during your meditation Citrine, Carnelian, Tiger’s Eye or Sunstone are traditionally associated with courage, confidence, creativity and abundance. 🌞

Then let your intentions go.

Trust.

The energy of an eclipse can continue to unfold over the coming months, so return to your intentions around the next six months and notice what begins to shift, open and reveal itself.

🦁 Lion’s Gate opened the doorway.
🌑 The New Moon invites the new beginning.
🌞 The Solar Eclipse amplifies the transformation.

And now the invitation is yours

What are you ready to say YES to? ❤️✨

With love from Epona,
where the horses, the trees and the land remind us that we already carry so much of the wisdom we are searching for. 🐴🌳🤍

✨ LIONSGATE 8:8 ✨ 8th August
A Free Guided Meditation to Awaken Your Inner Light - Link in Bio
The Lionsgate 8:8 Portal is open…
Are you ready to listen to what your soul is calling you towards?

There are moments when we feel something shifting within us.

A deeper knowing.

A desire to change direction.

A feeling that we are ready to release the past and step into something new.

The Lionsgate 8:8 Portal is a beautiful opportunity to pause, reconnect with yourself and listen to the wisdom already living within you.

I invite you to join me for a FREE guided Lionsgate 8:8 Meditation, created to help you ground your energy, open your heart and reconnect with your own inner wisdom and personal power.

💫 YOUR 8:8 JOURNEY

The number 8 carries beautiful symbolism of infinity, balance, flow and cycles.

When we place two 8s together, we are reminded of the infinite nature of our journey:

∞ ∞

A reminder that endings can become beginnings...

That what we release creates space for what is ready to emerge...

And that your inner wisdom has never truly left you.

The Lionsgate meditation invites you to step through your own inner gateway not to become someone else, but to reconnect with the deepest truth of who you already are.

🌳 FROM MY SACRED SPACE AT EPONA
This meditation has been created from my heart and from the beautiful energy of Epona Retreat Centre.

My connection with the land, the ancient Trees and the horses has taught me again and again that we often receive the deepest wisdom when we become quiet enough to listen.

The horses don’t ask us to be anything other than who we are.

They simply meet us where we are.

And this meditation is an invitation to do the same for yourself.

Sending you lots of love & light.

As I reflect on the energy of the 8:8 Lionsgate Portal, I cannot help but smile as I remember my own journey that began 38 years ago on the 8th August 1988.

I was just 18 years old when Martin, who is now my husband, and I packed our bags and travelled to London to begin a new chapter of our lives.

At the time, I had no understanding of spiritual gateways, divine timing or the universe gently guiding our path. I simply knew that I was excited. I loved the freedom, the independence and the adventure that lay ahead.

Looking back now, I realise that stepping onto that plane wasn’t just a journey to another city, it was the beginning of my journey to freedom. It was where I learned to survive, to become resilient and to trust myself. London opened my eyes to a much bigger world than I had ever imagined.

During the ten years we lived there, Martin and I embraced every opportunity. We travelled whenever we could, met incredible people, enjoyed life, and created memories that would shape who we would become. We didn’t realise it then, but with every decision we made, every place we visited and every challenge we overcame, we were building the foundations for the life we now live.

The universe was quietly guiding us all along.

Those experiences taught us courage, resilience and the confidence to keep saying “yes” to life’s invitations, even when we couldn’t see where they would lead.

Today, as I stand here at Epona Retreat Centre, working alongside the horses and supporting others on their own healing journeys, I can clearly see how every step even the uncertain ones was preparing me for this life.

The Lionsgate Portal reminds me that we don’t always need to know the destination. Sometimes we simply need the courage to take the first step and trust that life is unfolding exactly as it should.

Perhaps this 8:8 Portal is inviting you to reflect on your own journey.

What decision, however small, changed the direction of your life?

What seemed ordinary at the time, but now reveals itself as a turning point?
