Sitting watching a loon swimming up and down the lakeshore about five feet out. Amazing how long they can hold their breath and fun to see where he will pop up.

Several times he emerges in front of me and turns - we meet eye to eye.

He disappears for a bit. Suddenly he rises out of the water fish in mouth. He tosses it up in the air, opens up, and down it goes.

He rises up out of the water flapping his wings perhaps joyfully dancing, perhaps triumphantly as if to say, “I am magnificent.”

You most certainly are, I say back as I stand and flap my wings too.

Some spaces change you quietly.
Others change you all at once.

At our last Freedom Retreat, one participant shared:

“I’m bringing the joy, and leaving shame.”

That moment stayed with me.

This work is not about performance.
It’s about coherence. Presence. Truth.
About softening enough to hear yourself again.

Through embodiment practices, breathwork, horses, land connection, nervous system support, ritual, and community, we create space for what has been held in the body to begin moving again.

And something remarkable happens when people feel safe enough to be witnessed.

They remember who they are.

An excerpt from a heart coherence and gratitude meditation from the last horse retreat. Bringing in the intelligence and energies of the heart and transmitting them to the herd and land before we meet them.

The first two steps of heart coherence are to center awareness in the heart and slow down the breathing.

This starts at the third. Give it a try outside and give yourself and Mother Earth a little love this am!!!

Next half day retreat with horses and the land May 29 (6:30-8:30 zoom) and May 31 (4-9ish in Warren Rhode Island).

Two horse + land offerings!!!

I’m so excited to now be offering individual healing sessions on the land with the horses!!

These are not riding sessions or horse-handling experiences. They are ceremonial healing sessions held in relationship with the land, the herd, and the living field of nature.

The horses are never asked to perform. They are met as sovereign beings, and any connection that arises is based on consent, presence, coherence, and the intelligence of the moment.

Private Ceremonial Healing with the Horses & Land
A private in-person healing session held in Rhode Island, with an online preparation call beforehand, time to honor the land, a shamanic/energy healing session, and space for integration with the herd nearby.

Blue Full Moon Half-Day Retreat with the Horses

May 29 + May 31 in Rhode Island
A ceremonial, nervous-system-centered experience with land, horses, breath, embodiment, and deep presence. And movement under the light of the full moon!!

Message me HORSE for details.

15% of private ceremonial healing sessions supports the care of the horses.

Join a Blue Moon half-day retreat with horses in Warren, RI (May 31). Online prep + land session for nervous-system regulation, somatic practices, and full-moon ceremony. $222.

Hi! I just published the first post for The Heart Spirit Letters on substack!
This is a new home for essays, prayers, practices, and meditations on shamanic medicine, beauty, embodiment, horses, ceremony, coherence, and the living heart.
A place to remember who we are, together.
I’d love to have you there.

This is a space for remembrance — for returning to the body, the Earth, the soul, and the deeper truth of who we are.

When it’s hot. Return to the heart.

Sometimes we need a little space to breathe, to connect a source. To Move from soul instead of survival.

New moon in Aries moment. 💓🔥
