Soulful Spring Newsletter

Hello from the Prairie

If I'm being honest, I've been struggling. It feels that just when I think I will be able to take a deep breath there's another bump. I can so easily fall into that mindset of when I get past "this", then I'll feel more settled. What a stumbling trap that is.

The reality is we never get "there" and we waste sweet moments on worry and distraction. So, as spring rolls in, I will take the beautiful trinkets of wisdom from nature and remember that seasons bring on different sorts of glory. I am choosing to shake this off and allow myself to move into a better space, where the focus comes from a place of my Gestaltiness ~ one moment at a time.

One of my favorite things about spring is when I pull into the driveway and see these trees bursting with flowers! It is a sign that warmer days are ahead and Soulful Prairies will be buzzing. Warmer weather opens up all the prairie's spaces for Equine Gestalt sessions not only in the arena but out under a tree or in a pasture. It is a time of growth.

The Equine Gestalt Practice

I have heard the whisperings many times, "Why would someone choose to dig up painful feelings?" I get it.

But what if our old wounds continue to cause us pain, resurfacing until we give them oxygen to breathe? What if the way to change and the way to freedom is within the pain? I see this breathtaking work as the road back to ourselves.

Gestalt work is about finishing the unfinished so we can release what we spend energy holding and repressing within ourselves.

I offer one-on-one and group Gestalt sessions, half-day, full-day, and weekend retreats. Retreats are customized for non-profits, agency clients, corporate teams, or any small group of friends and family that you want to bring to the Prairie.

If you are interested in learning more feel free to set up a phone call. I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Grants may be available for those with financial need, please Contact Us.

Soulful Retreats

I was honored to host a retreat this April at Freedom Reigns, a 3,800-acre horse sanctuary in San Juan Bautista, California. This sanctuary creates an environment for otherwise slaughter-bound horses to live free. Free Your Soul Retreat was designed to combine the sanctuary surroundings, Gestalt, and somatic work to experience a raw connection to self.

We spent three days in the lush, green hills of California - creating a sense of innocent wonder that left us all different.

“I feel like I’m walking around with this secret stash of joy after being in California with all the amazing women and the beauty of the land and the horses” - S.O.

Each retreat that I am part of has a deep passion and love at its foundation.

Watch for more information as Letting Go in Montana, Attune To Your Inner Brilliance at Soulful Prairies and Free Your Soul 2024 in California unfold. Join me for a glass of wine on our porch to learn more about upcoming retreats on June 8th at 6:30 pm.
