Overview
For more than 3000 years horses have been a key part of society. We used to have a deep connection with all animals. There was a time when empaths were revered and their wise council was sought. Then we turned our backs on the rest of the Animal Kingdom and it appeared that all communication stopped. But that’s not the truth.
The truth is animals have always been listening, including horses who have been waiting for us to reconnect with our intuition and to engage in listening again.
We still have a deep desire to connect (or reconnect) and these days it’s beginning to be seen as cool to engage in the practice of truthful, sensitive communication with another species. What’s more, humans are releasing the belief that horses are here in service to a completely mechanistic universe and embracing the importance and understanding of the energetic one.
For thousands of years horses have answered our needs, but have we answered theirs? If horses could speak to us, what would they want us to know? What would horses say?
It may not surprise you to hear that people without horses in their lives are the ones who push the boundaries because they’re not invested in the traditional ideas of horsemanship or equitation and they question why on earth humans feel it’s ok to do certain things with horses.
Why do we feel we need to dominate the Horse in ways that we wouldn’t dream of with a cat, dog or another human being?
This weekend is dedicated to intuitive communication with horses as our equals, and also in gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves, through encouragement rather than judgement. No experience with horses is necessary, just an open heart and willingness to learn.
Learning how to trust yourself and communicate with animals, then be witness to how that impacts on both your personal life and your animal’s lives is beyond what I can put here in words. This experience is to be felt with the heart. It’s profound. It goes deep and changes lives.
Animal Communication for everyone
This day is partly based on the Introduction to Animal Communication workshop and therefore perfect for beginners, whether interested in horses or a different species. You will leave with the tools and techniques needed to begin communicating with your own animals at home, as well as the ones you meet along the way.
Over the course of the first day, learn how to have two way conversations with horses – Jespah, Mollie, Vic, Lucie Hollie and Mungo. Other resident guest-teachers who are keen to help you develop your intuitive senses may also be present.
Experience direct practice face-to-face with animals, helpful feedback which encourages you to explore your animal communication rather than be perfect and supportive guidance drawn from Pea’s 12 years of professional practice.
Unlike other Introduction workshops, we’ll be based outside or in a barn space and spend more time in observation and communication with outside animals in their habitat. The day will feel more gentle and in touch with nature than a building-based setting.
Skill level: 1
Open to beginners as well as returning students
Improvers Day
This day focuses on embracing the power of the Herd and healing and transformation through the way of the Horse. The day will be guided by the Herd and the needs of the participants.
Today we get closer to the healing power of Horse, their magic and majesty, and sensitive strength. There is a lot to be learned from horses, including their preferences and what they need from us. Do they really enjoy being ridden? What do they feel about separation? Can they sense what people are feeling?
We may ask the horses, what is your spiritual gift? What is your spiritual lesson? Do you have a message for people?
As the skill of intuition is developed with love and patience, it’s possible for everyone to connect directly with the mind of a horse leading to an understanding of their thoughts and feelings. Be prepared for new discoveries and unexpected answers, which are sometimes surprising, and often both poignant and touching.
Today will be balanced with the teachings of small feathered friends, the Chickens – Tiger, Francesca, Polly, Bluebelle, Harriet, Primrose, Belinda, Felicity, Sophie, Martha, Rosie and Jessica. It is so easy to dismiss or deny the feelings of animals who are viewed as having a different role in human society, but are they any less divine and knowing as the majestic horse? Do chickens have thoughts and feelings they wish to share too? What are their thoughts about horses? Engage in their individual personalities and learn from an often chatty and opinionated species.
This weekend can begin a transformation in the lives of horses, hens and all animals who are dependent upon humans for their welfare.
At the close of our weekend together we share group circle time in reflection. Touching on areas like; what does Horse’s message mean to you? How can you apply this wisdom to your life? What have you learned about Hens? What are your realisations about yourself?
