Fire Horse Rising: Remembering My Dharma Through Horses and Truth
Leaving the Year of the Snake behind, I find myself stepping into the Year of the Fire Horse with a deeper strength and clarity.
This year marks a turning point for me.
I will no longer play the roles that others expect of me. For many years I have been seen as the host, the caretaker, the one who must accommodate and serve the expectations of others. While service in the yogic sense — karma yoga — is sacred, the idea of service born from entitlement is something I will no longer participate in.
This place that we hold here is not a resort. It is not an Airbnb. It is not simply a place for comfort, expectation, or entertainment.
It is sacred space.
And I will no longer play roles that others imagine for me. Instead, I will stand fully in my truth and essence.
My purpose is not to tell you who you must be or what you must do. Nor is it to endlessly hold the stories of your past, your suffering, your trauma, or the identities built around them.
We have all walked through those journeys.
But we are not our pain.
Too often humans become attached to their suffering, and it becomes part of their identity. Yet it is not who we truly are. Beneath all of those layers is something far more powerful.
Your true essence.
My role — if it must be called a role — is simply to open a sacred space where the land, the horses, and the energy itself guide you back to your own voice.
Back to your remembering.
Because the truth is this: you are your own teacher.
Through the practices of yoga — Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, breathwork, meditation, mantras, and mudras — I share ancient tools that help awaken the consciousness already living within you.
But here, these practices unfold in the presence of horses.
And horses are extraordinary teachers.
They meet us only in truth. They mirror our energy with honesty and clarity. They open our hearts and guide us back to authenticity, to presence, and to connection.
The land itself also holds powerful medicine.
Here on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, surrounded by the jungle, the ocean, and the ancient mother trees often called the Mayan Trees of Life, nature holds us in a field of grounding and safety. The land itself carries powerful ancient vibrations that many people feel when they arrive.
Perhaps it is why so many have been drawn here.
But this work is not limited to Costa Rica.
Certain lands have called to me deeply over the years. Turkey is one of them. My return there was far more than revisiting memories. It was a profound remembering of something ancient within me.
Morocco carries a similar resonance — a powerful energetic field that awakens something deep within the soul.
It is no coincidence that Abbas and I have been guided to these places, traveling with horses and creating journeys that are not simply adventures, but transformational pilgrimages of remembering.
These are not vacations, though there may be moments of joyful galloping across vast landscapes.
They are journeys of awakening.
Journeys guided by the spirit of the horse.
Here in Costa Rica, our work unfolds through several pathways.
Through equine therapy sessions with Enrica, participants begin to see what may be holding them back — the unconscious patterns, emotional triggers, or fears that limit their ability to move forward.
Horses reveal these patterns with remarkable clarity.
Through energetic healing work, I support the release of emotional imprints and trauma that remain stored within the energetic body, sometimes from this lifetime and sometimes from deeper layers of the soul's journey. Isha, our white unicorn horse, holds a powerful energetic presence in this work, helping to create a sacred field of transformation.
Yoga practices then help stabilize and integrate these experiences through breath, movement, meditation, mantra, and vibrational sound.
Archery with Johanna reconnects participants to their inner strength and to the powerful archetype of the goddess within — the focused presence and courage to move forward in truth.
And throughout all of this, the horses remain our guides.
Heart to heart.
They teach us humility, presence, and authenticity. They remind us that true connection begins with honesty.
When our hearts open through this relationship, we begin to receive and give love more fully — to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.
The Year of the Fire Horse carries the energy of courage, freedom, and truth.
And this is the energy I step into now.
I will no longer play roles.
I will simply stand in my truth and open spaces where others can remember theirs.
If this resonates with you, I look forward to meeting you.
Not as guests.
But as fellow travelers remembering the light we all carry within us.
If you feel the call of the horse, the land, and the deeper remembering within your soul, perhaps our paths will cross. Not by chance, but by resonance. When we stand in truth, the right souls find their way to each other.
