Heart Expansion with Horses

Heal and Expand Your Heart

Heal and expand your heart with horses at this very special retreat.

Free yourself and find your wilder side – back to nature.

 

For centuries horses have been by our side:  working fields with us, fighting wars alongside us, taking us everywhere we need to go, playing sports, running races and admired for their grace and beauty. Now we can experience them showing up as the powerful healers they are in countless therapeutic capacities all over the globe. 

 

This weekend you will experience the power of the horse and empower yourself to heal, transform or simply open more deeply into a loving heart space with the support of a small herd of healing horses. 

 

No riding takes place and no experience is necessary. This is a deep self exploration through yoga, mediation and time spent sharing loving space with these majestic beings. 

 

Horses have long been a representation of a wilder and freer side of ourselves.

Free yourself, release yourself into nature, into the power of horses and into a beautiful, unforgettable experience.

Meet Your Facilitator

Holly Sanders

Holly is a Certified Integrative Somatic Practitioner (ISPC), a Mindfulness Coach, a Horse Medicine Leadership Facilitator and a Conscious Horse Woman. Holly is a lifelong student of many modalities that guide both humans and horses to wellbeing of mind, body and spirit. She combines these modalities to create powerful experiences that bring us back home to our inner wisdom and empower us to expand our consciousness and realize the innate gifts and purpose we all hold within us. Holly has found the joy in empowering horses to reawaken their inherent spirit and wisdom. In doing so, she has come to understand that through empowering the horse, we inadvertently learn to empower ourselves as well. This is where she finds her purpose.
