Equine Guided Learning
Horses live in a state of heightened awareness, keenly attuned to
one another, their environment and their own instinctual needs ~ and
they naturally resonate with humans when we are in touch with our inner
feelings and state. These natural attributes of the horse provide the
opportunity of learning to live with ourselves in a wholesome, powerful
and compassionate way.
With a foundation of expertise in personal growth, social change,
and professional development, Oriane Lee’s equine practice with
individuals and groups focuses on mindfulness and presence, creativity,
and heart-centered leadership ~ in partnership with two wonderful herds
of horses. In Victoria Mary’s Eco-Farm & Sanctuary is home to
7 horses, 3 ponies, 2 donkeys, llamas, goats, bunnies … where humans
and animals heal, grow and thrive, On Cortes Island Frances Guthrie and
her herd of 6 horses offer an oasis of natural holistic horsemanship and
care. Occasional collaborations also in Nanaimo at Generation Farms and
near Vancouver, B.C. More about Oriane Lee >>

The Equine Way Experience
Being with horses is kind of a meditation practice ~ slowing down into
horse time, present in the here and now. Becoming aware of your body sensations,
mind states, deeper emotions and energy brings a sense of well-being and
connection, no matter how you are feeling. Horses can bring out the best
in us ~ that which is real and authentic ~ increasing our capacity to
be true to ourselves, our values and our dreams.
Each session includes time of quiet reflection with the herd, followed
by interactive experiences with the horses, and concludes with a de-brief
to share responses and insights that illuminate new possibilities and
integrate wisdom received from the horses. No horse experience is necessary;
horse people very welcome too!

Tending Your Heart with Horses
Horses naturally resonate with humans when we are in touch with our inner
feelings and state. Entering the horses’ “field” of
awareness can help us become present, and attentive to what lies in our
hearts. Time slows down; we slow down, tuning in naturally to possibilities
for healing, acceptance, new dreams, and growth.
A series of teachings, demonstrations and individual experiences with
the horses on the ground are designed to support and guide the transition
into a state of open-heartedness and union. Explore energy, boundaries
and thresholds; emotional fluidity; intuition; and your own sense of the
sacred. Come away with embodied insights for applying in your life. No
previous horse experience is necessary.
