The Medicine of Self
Our journey with horses is often a journey that takes us into ourselves, an invitation for us to know ourselves more deeply and claim our own gifts alongside the inner growth and expansion the horses can make us on.
When we are called to the path of horses, we don't always pay attention to knowing what our own medicine is alongside of them, or deepen into that path of mastery that we are invited on.
The Medicine of self is a retreat that is focused on you, the cultivation of a deeper space of self awareness, and a claiming of what it is you bring alongside of horses.
This retreat is a space of self exploration and claiming, an initiation for us to gather a knowing of who we are, the impact we carry in the world and how to tend to all parts of ourselves.
As a facilitator, the capacity to bring our whole self into a space with our clients is important, how we tend to ourselves, how we hold ourselves, how confident we feel in what we bring to the space is essential to the experience we are bring to not just our clients, but to the relationship we have with our horses.
This retreat is a place of invitation into self, to meet ourselves more deeply, to honor ourselves in the fullness of who we are and to leave with a greater sense of how we can claim what our own wisdom and medicine is and bring that into not just the lives of others, but how we are in relationship with our own being.
Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for those that are wanting to deepen their awareness of self and their medicine with horses as their guide, knowing that this path of revealing and claiming is an important part of their journey.
For current and aspiring equine facilitators that know that the path to self, the calming of your medicine and how you are tending to yourself is an important pillar to holding mastery in this path with horses.
What we will be deepening into:
The knowing and claiming of your own personal medicine.
Deepening into the teachings of the authentic and false self, the ability to tend to and support the different aspects of self and discerning which are authentic and which are false.
Archetypes: journeying with the horses to empower the symbol of archetypes and how they can support our journey.
Practices and rituals to support our self practice and mastery.
Cultivating the deepening of invitation of self awareness and discovery that horse medicine is bringing to us and our lives.
The practices and spaces with the herd that are held during this retreat will be powerful for you as an individual and provide you with some examples of what you can bring into your practice with those that you are called to serve.
Your Teaching Space:
When you come and retreat with us, you are entering into a sacred relationship with our herd and our land, that will be there to tend to you, call you forward and remind you of who you are.
We come to the horses as equals, meeting them as teachers, and allowing them to guide our interactions allowing their wisdom to lead us as they are deeply rooted in responding to energy and not ego.
You come and gather with our herd and small collective of humans on a similar path, we enter into sacred space with horses as our guides and our soul as our leaders, we listen, we reflect, we step into and are held in each step of the way.
All of the interactions with our herd of 28 wise equine teachers are held on the ground, at liberty in their pastures, being guided and led by how they are sensing we need it.
You will be taught a more expansive sense of listening to self, of hearing your own wisdom and knowing the texture of it and how it shows up to you.
“My journey on my retreat was profoundly healing and has left me forever changed and in awe of the sacrednesses of this work. Being held in a way that was incredibly supportive and intimately (in-to-me-see) authentic. To Hillary and all the sacred weavers who journeyed with us and to the sacred women who completed our circle - I am forever so grateful for you and this experience! I can’t wait to come back!”
