I’m grateful to be able to go to Concinnity Farm and the humans I’ve meant.
We may go searching for help in helping our horses. But, truly it is us who need to heal first to help them.
This morning I found myself thoughtfully reminiscing about my journey. This farm, the things that brought me here, and the future.
I put a lot of thought into the name of this farm...
"Concinnity is a noun that means the skillful and harmonious arrangement or fitting together of different parts to form a graceful, unified whole."
And at the time, I had horses at the forefront of my mind. I wanted to provide a space where horses could come together again. In mind, body and spirit.
But, as the years have passed and this community has grown, I've come to realize that before the horse, there is a human. It is that human that will be responsible for facilitating the healing of their horse. Another thing I have come to realize is that the human must first facilitate their own healing before they can facilitate the healing of their horse.
Existing between us and our horses is a space, a gap. One we often do not recognize is there. The space of our subconscious, where memory of every experience lives. Etched into every inch of our being. Injuries, trauma, relationships...all of it. It is the space that fosters our survival. Sometimes, for as brilliant and amazing as our survival mechanisms are, they're the very thing that is stifling so much of what we would love to achieve.
I like to think that this farm has become a place where people can work through that space. A place that facilitates and allows a deeper level of self discovery, awareness, and connection within the human...which they can then offer to the horse. That the universe has very intentionally led me to teachers, colleagues and friends that have all the things necessary to support people on their journey to a greater understanding of themselves.
Life and horsemanship are not so different.
So, when I see the name of my farm...I no longer think of just the horses, but the humans too.
It starts with us...here's to becoming more concinnous.
