There’s something about being in this space—the rhythm of hoofbeats\, the warmth of sun on your shoulders\, the quiet presence of a horse standing beside you—that creates an opening. The mental chatter fades. The urgency lifts. Suddenly\, you can breathe differently. \nIn this environment\, you are invited to let go of expertise and rediscover your beginner’s heart. Through a guided activity\, you’ll practice approaching the world with fresh eyes\, noticing small wonders\, and embracing the lightness that comes when you start noticing the aliveness all around you.

SUMMARY:Self-Care Saturday: The Sacred Mirror: Tarot\, Horses\, and the Art of Presence
DESCRIPTION:As we approach the Lunar New Year on February 17\, 2026\, we enter the rare and intense cycle of the Fire Horse—an event that occurs only once every 60 years. This year brings “Double Fire” energy: the natural fire of the Horse combined with the fire of the year itself. This workshop harnesses this transformative heat\, using the twin mirrors of Equine and Arcana to illuminate what is ready to be forged anew.\n\nIn this immersive experience\, both Tarot (cards?) and horses act as “mirrors” by reflecting your internal state rather than just your external story:\n\nTarot as a Mirror: The cards use archetypes\, symbols\, and images to reflect your subconscious. By interpreting the cards\, you can see your personal patterns\, hidden motivations\, and inner wisdom made visible.\n Horses as Mirrors:  Horses are highly sensitive prey animals\, they “read” and reflect your energetic presence and emotional state in real-time. We will observe our inner landscape without judgment. The horses will meet you there.\n\nThe Synthesis: You see your energy in the horse\, and then you read the story of that energy in the cards. Finally\, we recreate narratives that represent what we would hope to see this upcoming Year of the Horse.\n\n\n\nThis is an ideal experience for Individuals seeking to break old patterns and harness the rapid\, transformative momentum of 2026.\n\nFacilitated by Karen Perkins.

SUMMARY:Self-Care Saturday: Finding Guidance Through Stillness and Rest
DESCRIPTION:Please note new time due to the cold weather. \nA Winter Seasonal Reset with the Herd \nIn a world that demands constant productivity\, winter invites us to pause\, restore\, and listen deeply. Join us for a two-hour equine-assisted session that honors the natural rhythm of the season—a time for stillness\, reflection\, and the quiet wisdom that emerges when we stop pushing and simply be. \nThe Wisdom of Winter Rest \nHorses instinctively understand the seasons. In winter\, they naturally conserve energy\, move more slowly\, and rest deeply. The herd teaches us that stillness isn’t laziness—it’s essential restoration. In the quiet presence of these gentle beings\, you’ll explore what happens when you give yourself permission to slow down\, rest\, and receive guidance from a place of calm rather than urgency. \nCome as you are\, ready to embrace the restorative power of winter and discover the guidance that emerges when you finally allow yourself to rest. \nRegistration and details at: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/self-caresaturdayregistration/event/scswinter/

SUMMARY:The Hero's Journey: An Equine-Assisted Learning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This transformative workshop uses the powerful partnership between humans and horses to guide participants through Joseph Campbell’s classic Hero’s Journey framework. Over a day\, participants will work with gentle\, intuitive horses to explore each stage of their personal transformation story. \nThe workshop begins with recognizing your “Call to Adventure” – identifying the challenges or changes you’re facing in life. Through ground-based activities with horses\, you’ll explore your natural responses to uncertainty and discover your inner resources for courage. Horses\, as prey animals with finely-tuned instincts\, mirror our emotional states and help us recognize when we’re operating from fear versus confidence. \nAs you progress through the journey stages – from “Crossing the Threshold” to facing your greatest challenges – the horses serve as both allies and teachers. Their honest\, non-judgmental presence creates a safe space to practice new behaviors\, build trust\, and develop authentic leadership skills. You’ll learn to read subtle communications\, establish boundaries\, and find your voice through partnership rather than dominance. \nThe workshop culminates in integrating your newfound insights and planning your “Return Home” – how you’ll apply these discoveries to your daily life. Participants leave with practical tools for navigating life’s adventures and a deeper understanding of their resilience and capacity for growth. \nNo horse experience necessary – just an open heart and willingness to embark on your own hero’s journey. \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Self-Care Saturday: Herd Wisdom: A Shamanic Journey With Horses
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand.\nAre you ready to embrace change and set your dreams free?\n\nIt’s easy to dream of change\, but far more challenging to surrender ourselves to it. We often cast our dreams into the world\, hoping the universe will answer kindly. Yet\, the path toward those dreams often means great change and it can feel uncomfortable\, confusing\, and frustrating. We find ourselves facing habits we’re reluctant to change\, relationships we’re hesitant to release\, and beliefs we fear to let go. \nThis resistance is a natural\, human response – but it doesn’t have to hold us back. The Spirit of the Horse is here to guide us through this transformative process. Horses teach us to soften into our own natural energy\, to move freely and gallop courageously toward our dreams. \nJoin shamanic practitioner Mystic Mo and equine specialist Julie Puentes for a transformative morning of meditation\, shamanic energy work\, and immersive equine experiences. Allow the wisdom of the herd to show you how to release inner resistance and courageously embrace the changes you wish to manifest. \nWhat is shamanism and shamanic energy work? \n\nShamanism\, at the core\, is the tradition of: \n\nrecognizing the spirit in all things\nliving in a connected relationship with the spirit of the world and the world of spirits\nwelcoming guidance from non-ordinary reality to bring forth healing\, growth\, and joy\n\nShamanic energy work is an ancient healing practice that involves many modalities\, including meditation\, breath work\, and connecting with spiritual energies to address physical\, emotional\, and spiritual imbalances. \nShamanism is not a formalized system of beliefs or an ideology. It is an experiential path that lends assistance to whoever is in need. \n \nAbout the Guest Facilitator: \nMo is a shamanic practitioner dedicated to offering guidance\, healing\, and wisdom to those who are lost\, fearful\, or curious in their path. She utilizes meditation\, breathwork\, energy healing\, divination\, and earthing in her programs

SUMMARY:The Power of Pause
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Pause Retreat\nNovember 16-17\, 2024\n  \n“In the relentless busyness of modern life\, we have lost the rhythm between work and rest. Our culture invariably supposes that action and accomplishment are better than rest; that doing something – anything is better than doing nothing. Because of our desire to succeed\, to meet these ever-growing expectations\, we do not rest. Because we do not rest\, we lose our way. We miss the compass points that would show us where to go\, we bypass the nourishment that would give us succor. We miss the quiet that would give us wisdom. “\n– Wayne Muller\, from Sabbath\n  \nThis is an invitation to intentionally pause\, clear out the things that are weighing you down\, and bring clarity to what matters most.\nWhy is that important? \n​Pausing isn’t innate to our cultural story. We’re not awarded for reflecting before acting. In fact\, we’re often made to feel as if we’re behind or there’s something wrong with us if we aren’t being productive and staying busy. \n​But pausing is a skill that has kept our species alive for a long time. \n​Pausing is natural and necessary to collect information from our environment and see how our body and mind respond. \nWhen we don’t take the time to pause: \n​– Our nervous systems get dysregulated – we check out\, get run ragged by never-ending thoughts and consume a lot of a lot of things. \n– We feel pressured and make snap decisions or avoid making them at all. \n– Emotions pile up and we feel defensive\, crabby or spread too thin. \n– We get sick.  \n– It’s difficult to be present\, know what matters and prioritize it. \n– We polarize and lose perspective.  \n– We get swept up in the inertia of busyness in order to not feel the discomfort that’s there when we slow down. \n– We lose touch with our creativity and inspiration – life feels more dull and mundane.  \nWe start accepting a pace and rhythm that isn’t sustainable\, digestible or even healthy and feel overloaded and unsure of how to stop the train.   \n​Sound familiar? You’re not alone if so.  \n​That’s why Lisa Welden (www.lisawelden.com) and Julie Puentes of HorseLink\, have teamed up to create an experience that makes it 100% easier for you to pause and find your center. To slow down to catch up and clarify what you want to spend your energy and life force on.​​ \n​We invite you to pause.\n  \nClick Here to Learn More\nor

The idea is to use all your senses to fully experience and appreciate the beauty\, complexity\, and grandeur of the natural world around you. \nThis one will be made better by our horses being part of the environment with their beauty\, grace\, and grounding presence. \nWe will do a short grounding exercise to begin and then set-off on an awe walk over our scenic twenty-two acres. \n$25 per person. All funds collected through our Self-Care Saturday series go directly to caring for our special herd of horses. \nPlease register below. \nProudly sponsored by The Pierce Runnells Foundation

SUMMARY:Self-Care Saturday: Conversations with the Universe
DESCRIPTION:“I have a daring proposition for you: What you seek is also seeking you.”\n– Robert E. Staub II from The 7 Acts of Courage\n  \nThe universe is always communicating with us through our intuition\, dreams\, synchronicity\, and symbols. However\, our ability to be open to hearing\, seeing\, and trusting these messages is dulled by our fast-paced\, brain-reliant\, distracted existence. We hardly ever give ourselves the time and space to be quiet\, and still\, and listen to our inner voice. It can be very difficult to initiate change\, make decisions\, and move forward confidently in life if we are not clear about what it is we are seeking. And we certainly can’t be receptive to what is seeking us if we never slow down enough to notice. \nWhat: A morning at HorseLink farm where you get to be in nature with our horses and be present. Take the time to reflect\, observe your environment\, and listen to your heart and gut feelings. Bring a specific question or dilemma you wish for clarity on or simply be curious about what surfaces when you stop frantically doing. Let the horses share their wisdom with you and leave with new insights and direction. We suggest bringing a journal and pen with you to capture what is revealed. \n$25 per person. All funds collected through our Self-Care Saturday series go directly to caring for our special herd of horses. \nPlease register below.

SUMMARY:Self-Care Saturday: Attention- A Powerful Resource
DESCRIPTION:“Pay attention\, don’t let life go by you. Fall in love with the back of your cereal box.”\nJerry Seinfeld\n\nDoes it seem difficult to concentrate and focus these days? Do you find it more challenging to read for extended periods of time? Do you feel like there are distractions fragmenting your ability to be fully present? \nResearch has demonstrated what you may have noticed in recent years. Our attention spans are shortening at an alarming rate. In the last five or six years the average time someone gives their attention to one task at a computer is only 47 seconds. And that is just computer tasks. Imagine what this means for complicated or even fun activities that require sustained focused attention. \nThere are real-life implications for our inability to focus our attention from making it harder to learn new things\, a lack of creativity\, and living in a permanent state of alertness and exhaustion as we bounce from one thing to the next while missing so much of what brings joy and connection in our lives. \nWhat: A Morning at HorseLink farm with our horses practicing giving your full attention. Give yourself the gift of putting away your phone and participating in an exercise to immerse you in the here and now with our horses. Discover what can emerge when we collectively honor one of our most precious resources\, our attention. Be delighted at the peace and rejuvenation you experience. Please bring a journal and a pen to write with. \n  \n$25 per person. All funds collected through our Self-Care Saturday series go directly to caring for our special herd of horses. \nPlease register below.
