Horses Healing Humans Feb. 25-27, 2022

This public program focuses on reconnecting to what matters to you, re-evaluating your relationships to work/life balance, letting go of outdated perspectives, and bringing in a new sense of value to your life. This 3 day program is a beautiful way to let go of 'what you know' and relish in time with the sentient wisdom of horses and time in nature. Horses teach us what it means to stay grounded and how to tell the difference between judgments and authentic expression. Develop your intuitive listening skills to find answers and make decisions that you cannot find through logical cobwebs of reason. What better time to find new inspiration and move forward than now? No horse experience required.

"To be part of Ariana's herd is an experience of being with a master, running the hills in freedom, with tussled manes and the wind behind us; where the past is honored, but has no place in the tenuous future of things. Live, life, now. "

Cassandra Ogier, Certified Equine Guided Educator

"Ariana’s most unique gift is her ability to navigate seamlessly between the cognitive, mental world of our “thinking mind”, the place we are when we are “in our head”, and the somatic, energetic, intuitive, and spiritual world that connect us to nature, where our senses and feelings reside. She is able to move between these two worlds, as a partner guide with the horses, leading people to discoveries about and within themselves that they could not otherwise find."
