New Zealand Adventures

I am currently in the studio recording the audio version of @gracegritgratitudebook?? I’m at the point where I’m in New Zealand 4 years ago.??Ah, such a gorgeous country! It reminded me of the hope that was rekindled for humanity when I was there.

I was invited to teach the ‘Grief Rituals with Horses’ work at the Spirit Horse Festival there. I am SO glad I went as it’s virtually impossible to travel there now.

I thought I would share an excerpt from my writing as it brought me joy to read it:

“I experienced such a nurturing spirit of community while at the Spirit Horse Festival and in New Zealand in general. It’s so important for all of us as individuals to come together in nurturing community to bind our fragmented society. In Western society nuclear family paradigm, it’s easy to forget the value of sharing village time together The loving Kiwis touched my heart to the core. For this wounded bird who is still mourning the death of two beloved friends, I find my tears fall so easily here. Salty water sliding to the earth, nourishing my soul, releasing the trauma of seeing two young beauties shrink to death, their 65-pound skeletons cold and immobile to human life.

The healing wind reaches my heart and breathes new vital air within its quivering beat. I’m learning to let life in a little bit more. I allow myself to be a bit more vulnerable and shed the armor that I’ve been carrying for so long. This awakening gives me the promise of hope for tomorrow, for all of humanity and the future of the Earth. The key to recovery is to release what doesn’t serve.”

Check out the rest of the tale in my book & stay tuned for the audio version!!
