Special One Day Intensive Moving Through Change
2017-10-30 10:00 - 16:30
SPECIAL INVITATION FOR 6 WOMEN ONLY
PAY WHAT YOU CAN!
Change. It can really knock us for a loop – off center if you will. Whether it’s a change of season from summer to fall, season of life, a change of times in our world, a change of career, family structure, relationship…. Change can bring us to a place of unbalance, uncertainty – How will I survive? Cope? How will it all turn out?

Change is a constant factor in our lives. Some changes are small, others large and life altering. Sometimes we have weeks or months to prepare and ease into these changes, but sometimes they are unexpected, jarring, confusing, and stressful. Yet for better or for worse, change is a fact of life. Whether smooth and easy or abrupt and stressful, we can take a breath and allow ourselves to decide how we want to be with change. How we want to feel? How we want to show up?

Horse Sense Healing is excited to bring you a special opportunity to stop, rest, be in the moment and gain more clarity about what’s next. Look for the gems and gifts of the journey. Find your sparks of resiliency to support you. Experience the support of a small group of men and women, positive coaching and the healing horses in a safe, supportive environment where we will focus on moving through change and transitions with vision and purpose.
Here is my offer…
This intensive day is typically $225.00 per person. I am offering this opportunity to you for bringing your own lunch and snacks and paying what you can!
A pay what you can jar will be set out so no one knows what you contribute.
Who; Women
When: Monday, October 30, 10:00 -4:30 pm
Where: Whitefish Equestrian Center
Cost: $225 value for Pay What You Can!

Re-Discovering the Essence of You
2017-09-16 09:00 - 16:00
OUR NEXT SESSION IS COMING UP!
PART 3 IS STARTING SOON:
We all are a like a kaleidoscope. As we move through our day, through events and relationships, different parts of us show up.
Ever react when you wish you would have responded?
Join us and learn to invite support from within when that inner critic shows up or when the reactor takes control!
This workshop begins with 3 personal coaching calls where we will look at what parts of you are serving you and what parts need to get out of the driver’s seat!
On Saturday, September 16th we will spend the day creating our personal mandala with the horses who will help us look deep within and play with the parts of you that inspire you and challenge you on at the Whitefish Equestrian Center! SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE INFORMATION.
THE WHOLE 3 PART SERIES INVOLVES THE FOLLOWING AND CAN BE COMPLETED INDIVIDUALLY OR WITH A GROUP.
Have you ever felt like you’ve lost yourself?
Like you have been living someone else’s dream?
Have you lost your spark or uncertain about what you want or what inspires you?
Are you ready to really look within? To take a deeper look at who you are? Who are you really? What drives you? What’s important to you? What part of you gets in the way or makes you shine?
During these unique workshops you will have the opportunity to re-connect with the essence of you through looking closely at the whole of you! The horses are masters and helping us look within – at how to fall in love with ourselves and our lives.
This is a 3 part series that includes personalized sessions and group sessions. You can choose to participate in all three and save or choose which calls you.
When was the last time you felt in love with your life? What drives your decisions, your destiny? Discover your true operating system during this unique and insightful look within!
Part 1 is a one on one session with the horses who will guide you in exploring your basic temperament. You will learn more about how you take in information, gather energy, make decisions and much more. What a relief to know that it might be your innate temperament that drives how you dance with time and tasks! Do you need a lot of details or just kind of know things?
Part 2 begins with 3 personal coaching calls taking a deep look at your values. Next we will either spend the day in a small group or in a private session with the horses exploring who we are through getting clear about our values. Do you know your top values? When we are living in alignment with our values, life is more fulfilling, decisions are easier, and it is easy to love who we are and our lives.
Part 3 begins with 3 personal coaching calls where we will look at what parts of you are serving you and what parts need to get out of the drivers seat! Afterward we will spend the day with the horses (in a small group or a private session) who will help us look deep within and play with the parts of you that inspire you and challenge you.

This experiential workshop will be held in a private indoor arena in a beautiful mountain setting at the Greater Good Ranch. Experience the healing power of nature, the healing horses and the powerful Equine Gestalt Coaching Method!
“I attended this workshop on September 19th 2015 and was guided and coached through a very useful process that allowed me to recognize fears that were holding me back; to let go of these fears; and to begin to open up and create more space for stepping into new behaviors and practices that support my desired transformation and the changes I want to make. I was impressed by the workshop leader’s unusual perceptiveness and instinctual sense of which questions to ask participants, what prompts and supports to give, and how to use the special coaching that her horses could uniquely provide in collaboration with each participant’s process.
I walked away from the workshop feeling truly amazed at how each part of the workshop fit together and how the workshop coach masterfully and gracefully guided us. The alchemy and synergy of all that happened at the workshop among and between participants was truly powerful and transformative. …. the collective support of the horses movements and behaviors in this process; the sharing of our first experiences of change and what role that played in our lives now; the intimate and supportive work with the horses; and how the different elements of the other participant’s story and process communicated something important to my own story and process.
Thank you Brenda for your gracious guidance and for creating such a special opportunity and unique process for self-reflection and transformation. Your workshop allowed me to let go of unprocessed fears of abandonment and abandoning family.” ~Lisa, Montana

3 Days of Trust Based Horsemanship with Anna Twinney!
2016-06-25 08:00 - 2016-06-27 17:00
Horse Sense Healing & The Greater Good Ranch are proud to sponsor Anna Twinney of Reach Out to Horses for 3 Days of Holistic Horsemanship!
Space is limited to 8 riders!
A note from Anna:

We are tremendously excited to bring the Reach Out to Horses Trust Based Horsemanship program back to beautiful Kila, Montana!

Our Three-Day event will cover a great deal, equipping you with new knowledge and insight into the language of equus to help you communicate with clarity for a deeper connection with your horse so that you can both be confident in your endeavors together!

I look forward to meeting all who attend and helping you Reach Out to your Horses with trust!

The Details!
June 25th:

Day 1: “The Obstacle Course at Liberty”: Saturday, June 25th, 2016
If you have been searching for a more evolved horsemanship method, if you want to take your skills and your relationship with your horse to a deeper level, you have come to the right place.
We aren’t going to waste any time. On the first day you are “jumping into the deep end” of equine communication! The obstacle course is one of the most effective tools in horsemanship and you will join your equine partner at liberty. You will learn how to communicate effectively with your horse, truly gaining the partnership and connection needed for anything you do together. It is a wonderful way to take your partnership to a much deeper level and have some fun. It is also a true test of that partnership. It’s a time to strip you of all paraphernalia, connect through an unspoken language, and explore your horses’ true voice!

Day 2: “Round Pen: Connection & Communication”: Sunday, June 26th, 2016
With the unique ROTH methodologies and use of the round pen, you will witness the effectiveness of this often misunderstood and misused method of training. Anna will introduce you to the subtleties of the horse’s communication system, a language that goes beyond body gestures and physical cues. You will learn to create a lexicon that can be used in and out of the Round Pen.
Anna will also help you take your training, and the partnership with your horse to a whole new level as she shows you how to use the Round Pen for one of its most powerful uses – understanding and assessing your horse’s health, history, personality, character, and more. Her unique method of using not only body language, but also energy and interspecies communication will reveal just how intelligent, aware, and communicative your horse really is!
On day 2 you will learn how to:

Create the ultimate foundation with your horse
Learn the importance of herd dynamics and behavior
Develop a 2-way conversation system
Uncover the Character, Personality, History, Psychology, (and more) of your horse
Understand when the Round Pen is NOT the right tool
Create a unique training program for your horse
And a whole lot more…

Day 3: “Refined in Hand Work and Confidence in the Saddle” : Monday,June 27, 2016The obstacle course is one of the most effective tools in horsemanship and on the final day, you will work with your horse from the saddle to eliminate any concerns about spooking while you are on his back.
You will begin with Anna’s exclusive Trust-Based Learning and Compassionate Communication. This is the foundation of the ROTH program’s in-hand work… and there’s a reason for it. You will create a solid footing with your horse, set him up for success, and achieve that connection of grace and ease you’ve always imagined.
Say goodbye to frustration, struggle, confusion, misunderstanding, flaring tempers, fear and anxiety for both you and your horse. Instead, welcome to a new way of thinking, a new way of being.Using Anna’s TLC methods you will be able to:

Understand the importance of intimacy and relaxation exercises and how to use them correctly
Overcome your horse’s challenging habits and behavior patterns
Prepare your young horse for his first saddle, bridle and rider
Desensitize your horse to common situations and tack
Prepare your horse for doctoring and medical examinations/emergencies
Earn your horse’s trust and learn how to continue to gain and build his trust
Develop methods to read your horse’s mood, personality, character, likes & dislikes
Create a toolbox to foster that perfect connection on a daily basis
And much more!Only $197 per day for the entire event if you register by May 15th! / $225 after May 15th
