Join author and Eponaquest founder Linda Kohanov on September 26, 2026 for a powerful half-day seminar, Chasing the Black Horse: Keys for Personal and Social Transformation.

Hosted at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine in Tucson, AZ, this indoor presentation will introduce breakthrough insights on:

✨ Why destructive cultural patterns repeat themselves, and how we can change the tide.

✨ The ancient, long-hidden traumas that underlie aggressive hierarchical systems.

✨ Why "horse wisdom" and equine-facilitated learning are so uniquely effective for psychological and physical healing.

No prior horse experience is needed to attend, and the $50 registration includes refreshments. You can find full event details at the link in the comments.

The horse-human bond is a path for mutual healing, but a horse cannot fully guide us if their own mind and body are out of balance.

In honor of National Holistic Pet Day today, let's commit to supporting our horses with holistic care through proper nutrition, exercise, and mental stimulation. Together, we can create spaces where both horses and humans truly thrive.

Nothing compares to experiencing the wisdom of the herd firsthand.

There’s something uniquely impactful about equine-facilitated learning in person—the somatic awareness, the real-time feedback from the horses, and the deep connection that unfolds in the moment.

Our upcoming fall workshops in Arizona are open for registration, including:

✨ Chasing the Black Horse: Keys for Personal and Social Transformation

✨ Beyond Words: The Art and Science of Sentient Communication

✨ The Power of the Herd: Working with Eponaquest’s Horses to Master the Five Roles

Spaces are strictly limited to ensure a supportive, safe environment for personal and professional growth. Click the link in the comments to browse our workshops and reserve your spot!

Horses experience fear a bit differently to than we do. Their nervous systems are incredibly sensitive, allowing them to detect potential danger long before we might notice it. But unlike many humans, horses don't build a life around fear. When horses determine the threat has passed, they don’t spend the rest of the day replaying what happened or anticipating the next worst-case scenario. They return to grazing. They reconnect with the herd. They come back to the present moment.

Fear has an important purpose; it alerts us, protects us, and asks us to pay attention. But when fear becomes the driving force in every decision, it can cripple our ability to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Curiosity offers another path. It invites us to pause, observe, gather information, and respond rather than react.

Where in your life are you leading from fear instead of curiosity?

A special Tucson event: Author and equine facilitated learning/therapy pioneer Linda Kohanov is pleased to present her new half day seminar Chasing the Black Horse: Keys for Personal and Social Transformation at the beautiful new Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine in Tucson on Saturday, September 26. “I will be taking this on the road to select cities next year, which will involve the need to raise funding to support travel and keep the tuition at a reasonable level,” she says. “However, in Tucson, I’m offering the seminar for a nominal price of $50 since I live here and was able to secure a special rate from the Andrew Weil Center as a person who has collaborated with their wonderful staff in the past.” If you are troubled by the events taking place in the world right now, this program will give you insights and practical tools that allow you to make sense of the chaos and respond constructively to the challenges we are facing. This life changing seminar is useful for healthcare professionals, therapists, equestrians, educators, horse facilitated learning and therapy practitioners, animal rescue personnel, and social and political activists. Learn why (and see an in depth list of key insights Linda will highlight) at the link below.

Half-day Indoor Seminar with Linda Kohanov

Linda’s brand new workshop, Chasing the Black Horse, went fantastically last month! A big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making it such a special experience, especially Julie Bridge and Ellie Insley for being such spectacular hosts.

"Linda never fails to weave myth, research, psychology, history, and personal story seamlessly. Our group became captivated, engaged, and excited to join in — sharing our own spontaneous insights, experiences, books, and podcast references. Her reframe of patriarchy encompasses the domestication and control of animals and their reproduction, the systemic devaluation of animals and humans, primal fears generated from this system, the injustices committed against women, and the often-forgotten brutality and horrific injustices committed by men toward other men throughout its 11,000-year history. This framing reinforces how, today, the keys to what horses have toteach us are urgently relevant. After years of studying and teaching this work myself, I left with a renewed sense of determination and a feeling that I'm on my path toward creating a much-needed oasis in the profound heart of America — in my little corner of the heart of Tennessee."
