The Sacred Ride

UNFORGETTABLE
___________________________________________________________________
Join us for a remarkable retreat in the heart of the Cascade Mountains, in the company of like hearted women, in the care of experienced guides.
Be welcomed to the land by an 18 hh giant - whose gentle shadow follows as you walk amongst the herd. There, in a creek - lined meadow, you are visited by horses who are balanced and loved, who choose to approach, to inquire, sharing space with you on their own terms, in their own way.
You're on horse time now...
See your reflection in the eye of the horse.
Look closely, and know...
There is more to horses than just "the ride". Partnership over ownership. Companionship over conquest.
The power comes in connection.
There is much practical discussion about centered & balanced riding. Finding your center, your balanced core, enhances all relationships, equine & human. As Winston Churchill said, "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of man.” Horses teach us to bridge intellect with instinct. When we move away from being task-oriented, to the rewards of being in the moment, communication translates from ground work to work under saddle, and we develop as human beings as well as horse - people.
The Sacred Ride is a one of a kind opportunity to spend time with horses during reflective ground work, wilderness riding and creative activities designed to inspire.
Join us for an extraordinary experience.
The Sacred Ride... Unforgettable.
From Previous Rides:
I loved watching you with the horses, how you used your body language and subtle energy to work and communicate with them, the way they each shone out as individuals and how that was testimony to the kind of relationship that you have with them.

Just a HUGE thank you to you both for your generous spirits, in an experience that was so totally new for me. You and the horses have touched me DEEPLY and it was life changing for me.

Epona Workshops
"Where hearts become whole by the way of the horse."
Sandra with Comet
Chiron's Way was founded by Sandra Wallin to provide educational and therapeutic experiences in a setting which supports and nurtures the development of each individual, family or group.
These experiences may include:
* Partnering with horses to find the rhythm of self
* Nurturing wholeness by allowing your inner voice to speak through the expressive arts
* Creating a synergetic dialogue between the two
Facilitated by:
Sandra Wallin, Registered Clinical Counselor & Qualified Epona Practitioner.
Workshops:
Epona: The Way of the Horse
3 day workshop (first day is a afternoon only) By request
This introductory Epona workshop will focus on the strengths that each of us possess, acknowledging our authentic self as an integral guide in our personal development, a guide that brings awareness to our internal resources such as hope, courage, intuition and joy.
Sandra will also draw our attention to the false self messages that inhibit our personal growth, and share with us how to access the valuable information contained within all of our emotions.
Joining us in this learning will be our horse partners who will share with us their innate wisdom, illuminating the gifts that shine within us all.
This three-day gathering is based on the pioneering work of Linda Kohanov, a leader in the field of equine experiential learning and the author of The Tao of Equus and Riding Between the Worlds. Through uniquely designed ground exercises with the horses, demonstrations, discussions and lecture components, this workshop will provide an opportunity for you to:
* Broaden your understanding of the innate wisdom found within emotions
* Distinguish between your boundaries and those of others (human and horse)
* Acknowledge and move beyond your limiting beliefs
* Create genuine, mutually supportive inter-species relationships
* Examine the foundations of authentic community
