What is coaching using horses?
For the first time, Light Your Fire will include an experience where participants will be coached using horses. Coaching with horses gives you a one-of-a-kind chance to more deeply understand your non-verbal communication patterns. Horses pick up on the energy we put out on the world. Working with a trained equine coach in the horse ring is a beautiful way to learn how to make changes in your life from the inside out. 

You don't have to have any familiarity or experience with horses to learn amazing insights from this portion of the retreat. Margaret and  Trish Ring, owner of Blue Star Ranch, have been trained to use horses in their coaching. The two of them, along with the incredibly experienced Blue Star staff will be your capable guides in the horse ring. (Note: there is no horseback riding for guests of the Blue Star ranch. The horses are solely for your learning experiences.)

 

What should I expect to do?

  • Laugh and laugh some more.
  • Try new things.
  • Dive deep and light a fire from within.
  • Make new friends.
  • Leave your busyness and worry behind.
  • Have an incredible new appreciation of the wisdom nature has to share with us.

 “It was fantastic! I can’t thank you enough.”

“Wonderful. Every piece of it. Amazing! So many positive changes happened for me after this retreat.”
