Join a herd of horses within the wonder of nature deepening your understanding of your embodied presence and tapping into the resource of your body intelligence to be more aware of self and others and to expand your range of compassion, resiliency and inner knowing. This highly experiential workshop integrates a Gestalt approach to embodied awareness as we “come to our senses” to better navigate challenge and change and to collectively create a better world for all.
Embodied Presence is the capacity to literally use your senses, to experience your physical self, not simply your thoughts about yourself. It is intelligence, along side of cognitive intelligence and emotional intelligence that provides you with a clearer awareness of your inner and outer world.
Embodied Presence is the ability to live and function more fully as an embodied being by physically sensing, registering and managing inner experience and outer experience in relation to the surrounding world so as to have greater awareness, range and choice.
Being an embodied presence as a leader, coach, facilitator, manager or educator or simply your loveable self offers you expanded perspectives and possibilities.
In this workshop, participants will increase their understanding and practice:
No horse riding--this is about respectful trustworthy relationship.
We practice safe physical distancing, masks required, small group gathering, we will be outside in nature.

The land is about 80 acres and is surrounded by 500 acres of Geauga Park land and the Geauga Rookery. The Chagrin River wanders along and through the forest of the east boundary offering beautiful places to dwell by the water and to splash about on warm days. The west boundary is guarded by a Hemlock forest and old Canadian Glacial Rock and ledge formations and millions of 1.1 billion year old quartz pebbles...hence the name Pebble Ledge. On the north boundary is a three acre natural bog with amazing lily pads, water birds, turtles and many other primordial critters of the bog. The south boundary is living space for people and horses. The 20 acre rolling pasture is home to the herd of 7 remarkable horses and one courageous zebra, which live freely, joyfully and at peace.
We have a campsite in the forest above the beautiful ancient grandfather and grandmother ledges. Many sacred and ceremonial sites have revealed themselves and welcome us to learn from them.

Now is the time for questing and visioning.This is the moment for courage, hope and possibility. Your Vision Quest is an opportunity to slow down, find quiet and listen to inner knowing where you discover your focus, flow, and natural wisdom to enhance how you work, play, live and love.
A vision quest offers us present possibility, not simply looking back with yearning nor merely looking forward with mustered courage or sitting stone still not daring to look either way. To thrive we must look within to the natural world and boldly to each other finding collective excitement for present possibility. Spring is Nature’s season of awakening and new beginnings, inviting us to wake up to the beauty, love and amazing possibilities around us and within us
Three vision quests will offer different experiences that are connected to the seasons. Attend one or more to focus on something different or to continue your journey.These quests aredesigned for individuals, couples and teams working individually in a community of support.
A Vision Quest can serve a variety of intentions: celebrating life changes, a rite of passage, discovering purpose, facing fears, finding answers from the heart, seeking inner peace and healing, honoring life and opening to wisdom for oneself and for your community.

This highly experiential workshop is designed for those that want to take some time to reflect, evaluate and make some informed choices.
Over the course of a spacious 2.5 days, we’ll allow ourselves to be guided by nature, our inner wisdom and the wider ecosystem. Entering the silent and sacred realm of the natural world, we can create a field of courageous dreams.
We will learn from ancient indigenous practices and gather as a community around the campfire, we’ll work in small groups, whilst also creating space for deep reflection so that we can courageously listen out for what life wants from us now. Through an emergent process of sensing and paying attention to what needs to be looked at, we will gather our wisdom and create a courageous space to cultivate the best possible conditions for breakthroughs.

We will:
Our leadership presence, embodied intelligence and body language communicate much more than our words convey. Our first language is body language, and its impact is profound. Our body language sends, receives, and deciphers a myriad of nonverbal cues, signs and signals. Bringing our attention to this level of communication gives us immeasurable insight, and helps us decode the real meaning beneath spoken words to determine what is really going on with and between people. It also provides us with a deeper awareness of ourselves, allowing us to develop an authentic leadership presence. From this deeper awareness comes the ability for deep listening, solid thinking, insightful reflecting, and effective responding.
In this program, through presentation, experiential learning opportunities, and exploration of their business challenges, participants will develop a better understanding of their leadership presence, embodied intelligence and body language and learn to confidently apply that self-knowledge in all aspects of their lives.
As a result of attending this program, participants will:
