The destinies and stories of our ancient ancestors were intimately interwoven with those of the horse. Indeed, for cultures the world over, the connection between horses and humans goes back to the beginnings of civilization as we know it — perhaps before.
During this magical time together — in partnership with the herd —we will explore this deep allegiance and enliven it within our awareness and our own bodies. Through experiential activities with horses, intuitive guided journeys to the ancestors, drawing, writing, and sharing in circle, we will create a rich and transformative experience together. Through inviting the wisdom of our human and horse ancestors, we will also spark and nourish our relationship with our authentic selves. In so doing, we take another step towards healing the imbalances created by civilization and embrace the possibility of giving and receiving vital support and love from our ancestors, horses and the natural world.

Jackie Ashley LPC, BC-DMT, ACSJackie is a life long horse woman who has been integrating horses into her psychotherapy practice since 2002. In the presence of a horse we become embodied and brought into the present moment. From this place access to ones energy, emotions and intuition initiates the natural capacities to heal. For decades she has seen this happen. She is trained in Equuasoma, the integration of Somatic Experiencing and Equine Facilitated psychotherapy. She is a Dance/Movement Therapist, teaches meditation and mindfulness at Naropa University and supervises clinicians working in the field.
