Different Paths To The Same Place

In this episode, we come together to explore questions about the ways horses and their people learn to better serve one another.. Starting with a touching and insightful journey into the experience of autism, we learn that there is healing in movement, relaxation through the breath, and connection through touch. Through tales of the group’s varied experiences and perspectives, we find comfort and enlightenment in the realization that we’re all talking about the same thing. Though we’ve each traveled very different paths and are experiencing truth through the distinct lenses of who we are, we’ve ended up in this same place, together. These truths are not something external to us - they are innately inside of each of us, just waiting for us to remember.

While the dots are being connected, the conversation reveals a simple process of self-discovery of who we are in the world, what we stand for and how we organically bond with one another in the interspecies community.  Reminiscent of our ancestors and the ways the hunter-gathers prioritized connection with nature as a gateway to growth, well-being and harmony.

Are you open to receiving the beautiful gift of movement that your horse offers? That you can also create just by going for a walk? How can movement calm the nervous system, open the lines of communication, and stimulate learning and social interaction? How can breathing and releasing tension in your hips and legs improve your connection with your horse? Is it possible to rewire our brains and nervous systems to function in a more healthful state? Is it possible to harmonize seemingly disparate ideologies, like ancient indigenous wisdom and modern neuroscience? Are you excited when pieces of “the answer” trickle in, even when you’re yet unsure of the question?

These conversations, in their absence of judgment and appreciation of inquiry, nurture an openness and curiosity in all of us. We hope you’ll join the conversation!
