"Whereas pleasure is derived from something outside you, joy arises from within."

Hippocrene Spring is founded by Cathryn Clerc. Cathryn holds a Master of Arts degree in Integral Counseling Psychology which draws on mind, body, and spirit disciplines. Her unique approach embraces a holistic view that is rooted in unconditional love, genuineness and authenticity, and empathy and compassion as the foundation for personal growth and development.  

Cathryn completed a two year study with Linda Kohanov and is an Epona Approved Instructor. In addition to her professional training in psychology and equine experiential learning (EEL) her resume includes president of an international import and export corporation, human relations director, and studies in dietetics and nutrition, and somatic awareness. She lived abroad for close to half her life and she feels that this experience has expanded her awarness of the similarities and interconnectedness of all beings.

Horses have always been a part of her life and when she was not able to be in their physical presence, they visited her in her dreams and imagination. It is this magical connection that has been the inspiration for the creation of Hippocrene Spring.

The horses have much to teach us, and it seems we are ready to listen. 

" Although attempting to bring about world peace through the internal transformation of individuals is difficult, it is the only way." The Dali Lama

Herd News

A long awaited dream has manifested. Hippocrene Spring has relocated to Shingle Springs, California, nestled in the Sierra foothills, between Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe, with beautiful pastoral views of the hills and pasture land.  Having the herd at home allows us to connect more closely with them at all times and to live more in tune with nature. It is truly special to live as one with the herd, and to engage with them in ways that were not possible before having them home.

Testimonials

"What a fabulous experience. I never imagined this could be so fulfilling. This weekend (workshop) has been a rich experience that I will carry with me into all areas of my life. This has been a wonderful gift to myself, and I thank you and the horses from the bottom of my heart."

"Cathryn, ...your great sense of compassion, your gentle ways, and your wisdom carried me through a very challenging time in my life. I came to you because of your counseling training but our ten weekly sessions with the horses brought me more insight than years of one on one therapy. I am so very grateful to have found you and your herd!! With deep appreciation."
