In this Halloween weekend workshop, Gail Todter, health educator and founder of Integrative Health Services, teams up with MettaKnowledge for Peace to offer participants a unique opportunity for personal growth through engagement on the ground with horses and in the spiritual dimensions offered by shamanic healing practices. Working with horses provides opportunities for reflection, insight, re-creation. Horses, like shamanic healing practices and ritual, provide a connection to nature and help us reclaim our own innate beauty and power. We will spent a day and a half in a lovely post and beam barn and in the fields and corrals of Galleywinter Farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and cultivate the energies of healing with the help of Gail’s herd of 6 horses. Basic practices we will work with include mindfulness, horsemanship, loving kindness practices, and the rituals of stone and fire from the Q’ero of the Peruvian Andes.
