Current offerings
A morning of reflective round penning
Imagine being in a circular corral with a horse you are drawn to. From a place of inward focus, bring a question to your horse guide. A silent converstion begins whereby the wise horse connects with the energy of your question. Answers to your question spontaneously pop up as a result of the this silent exchange between you and the Wise One

“Wendy, her colleague Zabrina, and the beloved members of their herd have inspired me greatly! I, and the group I attended the training with, experienced their absolute integrity, authenticity, and highly experienced teaching methods and practices in this ever-changing sacred work. I found it healing, encouraging, and empowering to say the least! I was made to feel 100% safe! All I can do is encourage those reading this to experience this way of healing for yourselves! Once I took a step past my old comfort zone, my experience became heavenly! Much gratitude and love to The Equine Connection Coaching Services.”

Remember your Divinity: a weekend of expansion
Come Collaborate with the Herd. Come Expand your Sense of Self.
Come Dance in the Light of the Horses & Mother Nature!
“Prior to the Retreat, I had recently moved into an Independent Living Retirement Community where I found myself struggling with life; with only glimpses of peace and joy. The day before I was to arrive at the retreat, I had taken a fall which resulted in my arm being casted, and scratches and bruises over my body and face. Talk about feeling vulnerable! When I arrived at the farm, I had a feeling come over me of care and compassion, as the ladies welcomed me so warmly. I have been to many Retreats over the years, but I have never felt such a part of as I did with the team, participants, and the Horses. The weekend was as if I had been wrapped up in Love. My most meaningful moment was the gift of being draped over Oreo’s back and feeling a Divine Connection. I had arrived! I came home from the Retreat feeling a sense of awe and elation; my mind, body and spirit received much healing.” Donna Currie

Exploration of your Inner Voice
Have you ever felt that you are missing out on a fuller, richer life because your inner voice shuts you down before you even begin? Join Cara and the herd for a day of exploration and fun with your inner critic. The morning will be spent in the presence of the horses to explore your inner voice and begin a conversation to change the dialogue. There will be active exercises in the arena and discussion with the group to fully capture the experience from all angles. Following a lunch break of simple Summer produce, we will sit in the shade and write, draw, or build a new voice that fully supports us as we move into our future. This is not a day for overcoming what is, but to fully embrace, acknowledge and begin to rebuild a version of our inner selves that captures our true potential and empowerment. Cara and the herd will hold you in a place of comfort and ease while you play. Cara is a writer, artist, actor and healer with a lifetime of experience to enhance and support your work. Come and spend a fabulous day in nature, with the lovely horses, and fellow travelers of life while learning effective tools to reset your inner critic.
