On this new moon in Ta**us (a sign of embodiment and strong rooted earthbound energy) see how you can arrive fully present and be open to awe. This is a practice of not wanting or seeking, but trusting and being open to what the more than human world shares.
Stepping outside with the agenda - “I am going in search of wonder” does not work. Wonder and awe are states of being that arises when we release expectation and open our hearts to what is. We can experience it by gazing at the clouds, stumbling upon a fawn tucked under a bush in the forest, the light glinting through the trees, the breeze blowing through a horses mane. We must release the need to control what comes forward and instead allow wonder and awe to reveal itself, and speak to our souls in the language our spirits truly know. Horses are wonderful guides for those that are disconnected from the ability to show up open to what is, rather than the projected narrative of what we want or the performative space that is rewarded in todays society-especially via social media. As humans we find ourselves in spaces and places that want so desperately for us to connect, but we end up seeking and looking for an instagram worthy photo or video instead of arriving in the now and allowing wonder to flow in. I feel extremely lucky because I have stayed connected to that childlike sense of awe. I still find my breath being taken away by the sight of the moon, the way the light dances on a stream and have tears on my cheeks somedays watching my horses graze in their field, the sunlight and clouds floating above. The horses are constantly in this state on being-ness which is why co-facilitating with them is such a gift. They are who they are regardless of the expectations we arrive with. They do not care if we show up wanting answers or healing - for although they provide much of both, they are not interested in being a teacher or a healer. Horses simply hold the space and wait for us to come back to ourselves. They ask us: Can you be? They are gracious and generous in all that they share and in all the ways the spark wonder. The space of Liminal Acres beckons us all to step through, shed our human narrative and ego and return a space of deep connectivity and open to what you are meant to receive, not necessarily what you are seeking.
For those that are interested in reconnecting to what is, and begin a devotional practice with the more than human world that centers wonder and awe, I would love to invite you to partake in a distance session held with the herd.

Below are all the details for our Pasture as Altar container, and I would absolutely love to connect if you have additional questions or would love to participate.

Ritual Equus Session

In my worldview, an altar is not a stagnant place where objects are set to rest. It is a living and breathing threshold where information and energy flow in constant motion. It is less a noun and more a verb. It is a space of action, orientation, and liminality.

I see the pasture itself as this altar. It is a container that holds the elementals and the directions, anchored by the land and tended by the herd. The horses are the guardians of this field. They are the ones who hold the frequency of the space, witnessing what is brought to the altar and what is released from it.

The Ancestral Thread
This work carries the echoes of hippomancy, an ancient practice where the movements and behaviors of Divine Herds were understood as a sacred language. While I do not treat my horses as objects of specific divination, I recognize them as sentient beings who exist in that same ancestral lineage of the sacred intermediary. They are truth tellers whose voice and choice I honor. Their movements within the pasture are a part of the living architecture of the altar and a response to the energetics of the moment.

Cultivating Your Own Knowing
It is important to understand that the horses are not here to tell you your future or provide easy answers. Instead, they offer a clear and unfiltered resonance that allows you to hear your own inner wisdom. By witnessing the truth of the herd, you are invited to reconnect with your own capacity for discernment. The horses act as a portal, but you are the one who chooses to step through. This work is about building your spiritual sovereignty and learning to trust the brilliance that already resides within you.

The Offering
This container supports your return to your intuitive wisdom. We utilize the natural rhythms of the land and the presence of the horses to anchor your work through the following-

Intentional Placement: We identify the specific question or weight you are carrying and “place” it within the pasture to be held and witnessed by the land.
The Living Record: You will receive photos of the horses and the landscape so you can observe certain moments, and if you feel called - print them and place the images upon your altar at home. They provide a way to return to this living altar again and again.
Reflective Interpretation: I provide a typed expression that bridges what was seen in the pasture with your inquiry, acting as a guide to help you uncover your own insights.Your astrological sign and your elemental energy with be woven into your reading allowing for further depth and personalization.
Grounded Divination: An oracle card reading is included to provide a tangible symbol that mirrors the energetic landscape, helping you anchor your personal knowing. Stones, flower essences or other ritual suggestions that come forward during the session will also be suggested.
With all offerings, please remember - take what you wish and leave the rest.

Approaching Gemini season - my season - I have been considering the space between limited and limitless a lot. This whole year really, but especially as I near my 45th birthday. This phrase “between limited and limitless lies liminality” is foundational to my practices as I happily reside comfortably in the liminal, ephemeral, imagional realms. But this year however I am heavy on moving towards the limitless. Of course I will forever maintain a tether to my place of comfort in the liminal as well as to the space of the limited, understanding that it too is not stagnant, but can be a place of much needed structure and being with what is. So, here is to fully committing to Ritual Equus and Liminal Acres, and heres to expansive unknowing and deepening into, expanding, contracting, unfurling, spiraling inward, but always flowing and remembering that although water might appear still on the surface- there is still movement down in the depths.

One of the biggest nuances of positive reinforcement training is ensuring that our horses always have the ability to disengage without stress or conflict. Just because a horse is still engaged doesn’t necessarily mean they should be- sometimes they’re over threshold but pushing through because they want the reward or because the training dynamic makes it difficult for them to step away.
We want to make sure we’re balancing willing engagement with the horse’s ability to disengage comfortably. Some horses will stay engaged even when they’re mentally or emotionally struggling, not because they’re fully present in the work, but because they feel locked into the pattern, whether due to food motivation, uncertainty, or simply the nature of reinforcement itself. If we’re not careful, we can put them in a position where they know they can opt out, but they don’t feel like they truly can.
One way to prevent this is by ensuring an alternative food source is available. If a horse has access to hay or forage while we train, they aren’t caught between the drive to earn food and their need to regulate. It creates a pressure-free environment where stepping away isn’t a loss, just another valid choice.
I also watch for subtle cues that tell me a horse should opt out but isn’t: muscle tension, changes in breathing, hesitations before taking food. If I see these, I might shift to an easier ask, change the environment slightly, or even take a moment to reset the session by letting them eat freely. True positive reinforcement isn’t just about shaping behavior; it’s about supporting emotional balance. When we create an environment where disengagement feels just as safe and rewarding as engagement, we build real trust -where choice is always an option, and training is never a conflict.

This brings me such joy. To some coming from a traditional horse background this might look like nothing much. But to me, somewhat of an outsider in the world of horses this is incredible. Being a guardian to four rescued mustangs it might be unheard of to some, but I don't ride them. Well... Story and I are just beginning that journey, but it will be years before I will feel confident to say we are riding partners. It is not what the relationship with my horses is built on. I thought it would be, but overtime it has shifted to a space of relational existence, instead moving into a place of equine guided experiencing - but that is for another day. Today.. this post... the one that looks just like a boy sitting on a horse, I am beaming. They didn't do anything fancy, but what they did isn't the point - it's how it was done. Force-free and fear-free, ba****ck with a neck rope, a pouch of hay pellets and a tongue click to mark the desired behavior. No need to get after her, be her boss, or see Story any way but perfect. She carried him as if they had been riding together for years, the other mustangs cantering around the track outside the fence playing and generally acting like wild horses - but this girl - calm, steady, making sure this boy was safe. Grateful to my dear friend shown here giving us some added help and homework for the coming weeks, and grateful that this young one will grown up knowing only a horsemanship based on compassion and empathy that truly and always puts the horses first.

Ritual Equus Distance Session

Being held and seen by the Herd is a to step into a space of pure magic and authentic presence. It requires no horse experience, only the willingness to be open to what messages and wisdom are ready to come through. When I am with my horses I become fully aware of the interconnected nature of our relationship, and the relationship that exists all around us. Horses are less a mirror to us, and more a portal for us to step through together with them on a journey to connect with the more than human world. This experience is for those that have been seeking a guide that leads without judgement, ego or forced agendas. The Ritual Equus Sessions bring together divination, shared reiki and a space where you can receive support from the Herd to connect with your intuition and inner knowing.

When a booking is made, a questionnaire will be sent out to help provide insight and intention for what you are hoping to receive guidance around. Your responses will be taken to the herd, and the full session will be recorded so that you can experience in real time what the horses and the Divine are sharing with you. Your intentions will also be held with either a tarot or oracle reading while in this liminal space, as well as receiving a shared reiki session in support from one or more of the horses. As many of my teachers have always shared - time and distance are a construct. When we move from the linear into the cyclical, we understand that these things have no edges. They flow forward, backward and overlap. Although you will not physically be present with the herd (although I look forward to sharing this experience with some of you in the future!) - it does not matter. The horses exist in a space of presence where time has no beginning or end, and whose wisdom will find you, no matter where you are located.

After booking, I will reach out to confirm your date and to email you the questionnaire. The session will then be recorded within 7 days, and your recording along with your tarot/oracle reading will be typed and shared in addition to the typed expression of interpretations from the time spent with the horses or messages received from them. I will also let you know the date I will be with the herd and in session, so that you can set the intention to receive reiki that day and the wisdom of the horses. If you forget don't worry! Their magic and medicine will be received in the way it is meant to be whether you are aware or not! Same with reiki, I do not believe in beaming or forcing the energy on animals or humans - take what you wish and leave the rest, is what I hold whenever I act as intermediary for this work.

I very much looking forward to connecting with you, and having you connect with the herd and the more than human world in this work!

Please note, pricing is reduced through winter as a special introduction rate to this offering. In the spring pricing with switch to a sliding scale pricing system to ensure everyone who is interested in sharing in this space is able.
