May 9 2015 Horse Sense Healing – Women’s Connection Groups April – August 2015

Horse Sense Healing presents 

Women’s Connection Groups

Held here at GGR!

“We are happy that spring has arrived so we can get back to work!  The horses at the Greater Good Ranch, Mik, Starry and Rose, have had the winter off and ready to connect with you.  Our Women’s Connections Groups will be held the 2nd Saturday of each month.

Prepare to take some time out to reconnect with yourself, with others and with the horses.  The horses, supportive coaching and the Equine Gestalt Coaching Method will help you drop away the stressors and happenings of daily life and connect you to your center, to your authentic self. Join us for one group or all.  Bring a friend or come on your own.

Please RSVP just so we know how many to prepare for.  Registration for the following month will open once the current month’s group has completed.  Bring a friend and each save 5.00!”

Does your horse swish her tail?  Toss her head?  Is she tense when you ride?

Explore ways to enhance your mind/body connection with horses.

Come away with:

  • How yoga can center your mind and align your body.
  • Ideas to strengthen your core muscles, lengthen and limber up.
  • Somatic movements to reset your muscle tension.
  • Awareness of how you and your horse share energy and stress.
  • Trigger point self massage.

If you choose to, you will be led on a horse to feel movement and then explore relaxation

Improve your horse by improving yourself

Bring riding helmet, lunch and drink.  We will have water available.  Bring yoga mat and blocks if you have them.  I have a few extra mats.  Wear loose pants for movement and whatever you like for sitting on the horse.  Dress warm, we will be in an enclosed arena, unheated except for one propane patio heater.

Earth Prayers 4-4-15 p 102

The Peace of Wild Things

BY WENDELL BERRY

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

 

Wendell Berry, “The Peace of Wild Things” from The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry. Copyright © 1998. Published and reprinted by arrangement with Counterpoint Press.

Earth Prayers 4/1/15

I have come to terms with the future.
From this day onward I will walk easy on the earth.
Plant trees.
Kill no living things.
Live in harmony with all creatures.
I will restore the earth where I am.
Use no more of its resources than I need.
And listen, listen to what it is telling me.

M. J. Slim Hooey  (Earth Prayers, ed. By E.Roberts & Elias Amidon, 1991, p.109)

Earth Prayers 3-30-2015

We join with the earth and with each other.

To bring new life to the land
To restore the waters
To refresh the air

We join with the earth and with each other.

To renew the forests
To care for the plants
To protect the creatures

 We join with the earth and with each other.

To celebrate the seas
To rejoice in the sunlight
To sing the song of the stars

We join with the earth and with each other.

To recreate the human community
To promote justice and peace
To remember our children

We join with the earth and with each other.

We join together as many diverse expressions
of one loving mystery for the healing of the
earth and the renewal of all life
