We will learn about our greatest weakness and our greatest strength, we will build a vision, meet our vulnerability and experience contradiction as a gift to eventually find the creative source, our true self and inner sanctuary.
On this journey, horses will be our teachers, guides and companions. Their wisdom is the wisdom of nature, of being, of the body, of the heart. They provide connection to all that is.
