horses as teachers & healers

This is our moment to practice being and let go of our automatic mindset of doing. As men we often find ourselves trying to fix things instead of letting ourselves simply feel them.

In our men’s circles we ask the horses help us to slow down to their energy level when they are at ease.

We look for an off ramp of the warp speed highway of our minds. Then we ask them to help us be present here, now; we pray to be vulnerable and open to what is going on under the surface of our skin, in our hearts and souls. And together as a group of humans and horses we hold space for whatever comes up and out with tenderness, understanding and deep compassion.

 In this circle there is no skill to be gained nor practiced, no race to win, no show to present, no mask to uphold. It is rather a place to take off our mask; to show the other side of our coin, the inside of our hearts and to find a deep sense of peace.
