Hippocrene Spring--Epona

Where horses guide us to a deeper understanding of the mysteries of everyday life.

The Epona Approach^TM

Named after the ancient Celtic horse goddess, Epona Equestrian Services is a collective of educators, counselors, physical therapists and riding instructors exploring the healing potential of horse-human relationships. Founded in 1997 by author, lecturer and horse trainer Linda Kohanov, Epona has received international attention for innovative programs employing horses in the work of human development called The Epona Approach^TM.

People from across the U.S, Canada and Europe have gained a greater sense of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance. Alumni of the Epona Approach^TM personal development workshops and private sessions include accomplished artists, actors and musicians, counselors, social workers, psychiatrists and physicians, life coaches, body workers, business executives, teachers, parents and riding instructors.

Through a holistic approach to the equestrian arts, clients explore assertiveness, stress reduction and emotional fitness skills, strengthening self-esteem and personal empowerment in the process. Consensus-building relationship models teach people how to take the reins of any situation without lapsing into the pitfalls of dominance, alienation, intimidation or victimization. Many programs also employ journaling, mindfulness techniques, expressive arts and music to enhance intuition, multi-sensory awareness and creativity.

Daily Inspiration

Most of us struggle with how to be more present in our daily life. How do we silence the internal chatter and let go of the stress in our lives so that we may be more present and experience a deeper sense of connection to all that is. Try this: take 5 minutes in the morning and do some stream of consciousness writing. Just go with the flow...and you may be surprised by what unfolds in the NOW.

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."

Kathryn, San Francisco, CA

"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."
