A new journey begins…

There is a quiet stirring within me…
A sense of adventure awakening…
A calling into lands I have never walked before.

Though I have traveled and lived in many places across this Earth,
Morocco
remains a mystery to my soul…
waiting… whispering… calling me forward.

I walk this path alongside Abbas Tabaja,
who has spent months exploring these lands—
discovering hidden routes, sacred places,
and connecting with authentic Amazigh (Berber) horsemen
and their noble desert horses.

I find myself wondering…
How will this land speak to me?
How will it resonate within my being?

My heart skips a beat when I feel into the moment…
that first gentle touch…
when my hand reaches out to greet the horse.

What will unfold
when we share sacred space together…
at liberty…
breathing heart to heart…

This journey will carry us through the ancient energies of
Ait Ben Haddou,
into the vast silence of the desert,
beneath infinite star-filled skies…

Through sun-touched dates glistening in the light,
and the cool, quiet embrace of hidden oases…

My heart is ready.
My soul is hungry
for this journey into the unknown.

Together, Abbas and Ishan will guide us through these magical lands,
while I hold space through yoga, breath, and meditation—
inviting a deeper connection
to the land…
to the horses…
and to ourselves.

Each guest will be guided into a true relationship with their horse—
one built on trust, presence, and heart-to-heart connection—
a bond that will carry us through the entire journey.

This is more than a trek…
It is a remembrance.

Our Spiritual Horse Trek in Morocco begins on May 6…
in just two weeks.

In a world that often feels chaotic, driven by fear and power,
now—more than ever—
we are called to return…

To ground.
To connect.
To remember.

Because in truth…
we are simply walking each other home.

And home…
is the original state of our being.

Let the desert winds stir your remembrance…
Let the Berber horses guide your way back home.

If you feel the call, we would love to hear from you.

Turkiye is calling me home. I hear its song in my heart beat.
May 25th Abbas and I begin our Spiritual Horse Trek Journey thru these ancient lands. Turkiye is calling me back to the land where wild horses run and the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia tell their stories of a time long ago.
Walking and riding though this energy that is both powerful and intense, high and spiritual, brought me to a deeper understanding of Sat Nam, my True Identity.
And though for years, I have often felt alone, this land of Turkiye awoke within me a remembrance of ancients times when I walked the land, held the frequencies. Now here today I move thru this land again, but this time I know I am not alone. A New World is awakening, souls are remembering, we are all walking home, together.
Come ride with us, feel this energy, live this experience and see what it awakens in you. DM for more info

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.

It is in the gentle presence of the horse
that you return to Self.

Here, you remember.
Here, you awaken to your eternal essence.

Isha, carrier of Fire, softens his flames into pure grounded presence,
centered, calming, connecting.
In his quiet strength, union is restored and the field becomes one of deep harmony.

That which no longer serves is gently released.
That which is Truth begins to flow with ease.

As Isha holds the Sacred Space of transformation,
you remember your light,
not as something new, but as what has always been.

Today I stood beneath the Mayan Tree of Life. Under its tall majestic trunk and towering branches, I could feel the trees breath fill me with prana, life force energy. Isha, our magical white unicorn, came to stand in stillness near me. We stood side by side rooted in the Earth, breathing with the land.
The Mayan tree of life is known as a portal of grounding, protection and deep remembrance
As I listened, I remembered. As Isha listened, our energies aligned, memories were awakened and balance was restored.
The tree held us and in that moment something ancient was remembered, in me, in him, in all of us

Where wild horses run, the spirit remembers.

My journey to Turkiye wasn’t something I planned.
It happened to me.

The land opened me.
The horses mirrored me.
And something I had forgotten quietly returned.

Now, I find myself wanting to walk again on that land…
and to ride there…
not alone.

Not to teach.
Not to lead.
But to share.

To move together with the horses.
To listen to the land.
To sit, breathe, laugh, feel, and remember side by side.

If you feel a gentle yes in your body,
I would love to walk with you.
To ride with you.
To share the path.

No expectations.
Just presence.

Are you open to remembering
together?
Are you ready to soften,
to surrender,
and to become you?

If this touches something in you,
you’re welcome to quietly explore what we’re creating.

You can visit our page
https://horses.yoga/turkiye

and simply feel into it,
see if it resonates for you.

And if it does,
perhaps we’ll walk and ride together.

Meet Isha
Our white unicorn.

Isha is the horse who stands with me when we hold sacred space, when we enter what I call harmonizing and attunement sessions. These are not about fixing or removing anything, but about creating space, opening the field, balancing and aligning energies so that healing can arise naturally from within.

Isha is a horse of Fire, very pitta in nature, powerful, expressive, and full of determination. In the pastures he can be bold and fiery, prancing and strutting with force and presence. In the sea, he dives into the waves with abandon and joy, carried by instinct and pleasure.

And yet…
when an attunement session begins, something shifts.

Isha will leave his grazing and outward activities and walk quietly to the table beneath the Mayan Tree of Life. There, he stands deeply grounded, connected to the Earth, holding the field with calm focus. He feels the energies moving and, in his own natural way, adjusts when and where it is needed. We work together, not directing, not forcing, but listening and responding in harmony.

This balance is what makes Isha so extraordinary:
a very fiery, powerful being who can become incredibly soft, present, and still.

He truly is a unicorn who magically entered my life. I wasn’t looking for another horse. I was helping a friend find one. But then Isha appeared, and he spoke to me so clearly, so deeply, that I could not walk away. There was magic in the air around him, unmistakable.

He is quirky, funny, strong-willed, intense and at the same time deeply cuddly, sweet, and unbelievably lovable. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel grateful and blessed that he found us and chose to walk into our lives.

Though… not all the other horses always agree,
Isha has attitude. He doesn’t take no easily and often wants everyone to do things his way, right now. And yet, somehow, they always find their balance together.

My quirky, fiery little unicorn and his band of brothers are truly something to behold.

Returning to Turkey after more than 30 years was something I could never have prepared for.

What I thought would be a simple return, revisiting a country I once loved deeply, became a profound homecoming of the soul.

Turkey brought back so many beautiful memories. Of family and friends, of long days sailing the Lycian coast, of a younger version of myself shaped by the sea, the sun, and a feeling of freedom I had almost forgotten.

But this return awakened something far deeper.

It stirred something long dormant within me, a remembering that did not belong only to this lifetime.
As if the land itself whispered: you have been here before… many times.

At the end of August last year, I traveled through Turkey on an adventure into places I had never been before. I didn’t go alone. I went with my dear friend Abbas, whom I first met in 2019 when he came to Kindred Spirits to complete his Yoga Teacher Training and Equine Yoga Teacher Program with us.

Over the years, our connection quietly continued, woven through shared values, love for horses, land, and a deeper way of living. When Abbas came to visit last July, a seed was planted.

He carried a vision, to travel the world through horses. But not in an ordinary way.
Not as sport.
Not as tourism.
But as pilgrimage, connection, and remembrance.

He was returning to Turkey to explore, to listen, to discover and invited me to join him.

What unfolded was so much more than we could ever have hoped for.

The land opened.
The horses arrived.
The people welcomed us.
Paths revealed themselves step by step.

And in that journey, something in me shifted forever.

Turkey didn’t just welcome me back,
it reawakened a part of my soul I didn’t realize I had been missing.

More to come…

Connection Comes First

Before we ride, we meet.

We meet the horses.
We meet the land.
And just as importantly, we meet ourselves.

In Turkiye I met horses that I had the privilege to deeply connect with. They were horses that lived their lives as horses and trusted humans, saw them as friends and not masters.

I don’t lead journeys where riding is the starting point.
I lead journeys where relationship is the starting point.

During our travels in Turkiye, I met horsemen, who loved their horses first. I saw the depth of their relationship in the eyes of their horses.

Connection at liberty tells me everything I need to know about a horse’s nervous system, about a human’s presence, about how the two will communicate once movement begins.

Speed, distance, and performance come later. if they come at all.
What matters first is trust.

This is not about proving anything.
It’s about listening.

And when that foundation is there, everything else unfolds with much more ease, and much more safety, for everyone involved.

I’d like to invite you to explore what Abbas, Lexi, and I are creating together, a new way of traveling with horses around the world.

As we enter the Year of the Fire Horse, we feel called to move differently, with more presence, more integrity, and deeper connection between humans, horses, and the land.

These Spiritual Horse Trek Journeys are born from relationship with horses, with land, and with the moment in time we are living in.

As we enter the Year of the Fire Horse, I feel a deep call toward truth, courage, movement, and integrity. This is not an energy that can be rushed or forced. It asks us to move forward in alignment, or not at all.

It is within this frequency that we are offering our first pilgrimages in Türkiye and Morocco, in collaboration with Abbas of Ride into Infinity, and through Kindred Spirits.

These are not traditional horse treks.
They are intentional passages, where how we move matters more than how far we go.

For me, Türkiye is not a new destination.
It is a return.

More than thirty years ago, Türkiye was once my home, a land that shaped my early adult life, my way of seeing, and my relationship with culture, nature, and spirit. I have carried this land in my heart ever since. To return now, in the Year of the Fire Horse, feels like a remembering, a coming full circle into a place that still lives deeply in my body and soul.

The Fire Horse teaches that power without presence creates chaos, while power rooted in connection creates freedom.
For this reason, every journey I lead begins with connection at liberty, allowing trust to form naturally before movement unfolds.

Horses are not tools to me, they are sentient partners.
The land is not a backdrop, it is a living teacher.
And the human journey is not secondary, it is central.

Abbas brings a deep, embodied relationship with the horses, landscapes, and local cultures of Türkiye and Morocco, cultivated through years of living, listening, and working in true partnership with the land and its people. Our collaboration is rooted in shared values, respect, and care for the horses and the land that hold us.

Through Kindred Spirits, I hold an ethical and nervous-system-aware foundation that places safety, respect, and attunement first, for horses and humans alike. In the Year of the Fire Horse, this grounding feels essential. Fire must be held with care, or it burns indiscriminately.

These pilgrimages are for those who feel the call to move forward honestly, not faster, not louder, but truer.
For those who understand that transformation cannot be forced, and that freedom is not taken, it is earned through relationship.

Meet Yogi 🤍
Mashal’s big brother—not by blood, but by love.

Yogi came to us from the mountains of Turrialba, from a large Andalusian Spanish horse ranch where foals are born into nature and grow up running freely across the hills with their mothers. He was just a year and a half old when he arrived, a tall, big bay with long legs and the sweetest, kindest disposition I had ever met… and still have, to this day.

Yogi is kind to all horses and all humans. He does not fight, he walks away. He seeks harmony, not chaos. Balance, not dominance. Fairness in all beings and all situations. He truly lives his name, Yogi, which carries the essence of yoga—union.

From the very beginning, his training unfolded entirely at liberty, no halter, no bit, no saddle. Always with ease. Always with gentleness. Never once did he buck, spook, bolt, or resist. Instead, he chose connection deeply and naturally with us and with those around him.

He was playful with Mashal, tender with the sensitive Pai, respectful of Nahar and Shiloh, and calm and trusting with all humans. He loves positive-reinforcement training and will gently remind me when we haven’t done it in a while. He enjoys learning, playing, and doing things together.

While his nobility, kindness, and gentleness are his greatest gifts, he also carries one of the most extraordinary extended trots I have ever experienced, like floating on a cloud in slow motion.

And then there is the sea.
Yogi loves to swim, drinking the salt water as he glides, circling again and again, gentle waves rolling over his back, blue sky above. With or without a rider, swimming in the ocean and rolling in the sand remain some of his greatest joys.

Yogi is my friend. My partner.
There is deep trust and respect between us, and I believe it is mutual. He is a living example of what true partnership looks like. where nothing is taken, and everything is shared.

Yogi is wise.
Yogi is gentle.
Yogi is divine.

Meet Mashal

Mashal was born here on our farm on October 10th, 2017, during one of our Yoga Teacher Trainings. We were all waiting eagerly for his arrival—so eagerly that a volunteer even slept in the barn at night. But his wise mother, Shad, waited until we had gone to dinner and chose to give birth privately, surrounded by Anya, Shiloh, and Nahar.

Mashal was born that evening at 7 pm. The next morning, students gathered quietly around him in wonder as he stood on his tiny legs.

We held a naming ceremony by the fire, with the herd nearby. Each student and each of us placed a name into a basket. When the name Mashal was read aloud, along with its meaning, we all knew it was perfect.

Mashal grew up deeply loved and protected by the herd. Sensitive and trusting, he also knows how to hold his boundaries. He is not a bully, but he does not allow himself to be pushed. He grew up almost like a brother to Yogi, who joined our family when Mashal was still very young.

Today, Mashal is 8 years old—a big, handsome, deeply sensitive boy. Since the passing of his father, Nahar, the king and leader of the herd, Mashal has matured even more. He moves with great grace and lightness, carries the elegance of an Arabian and the strength of an Andalusian, and holds his place in the herd with quiet confidence.

He is kind and cuddly with those who are gentle and calm, and wary of loud, rushed energy. Mashal loves peace—and teaches it by example.

Mashal’s name means torch—a bearer of light.
Not a fire that burns loudly or demands attention, but a steady flame held with care and purpose.

His light teaches us how to move through the world with sensitivity and strength, with openness and clear boundaries. He shows us that true power does not push, and true gentleness does not disappear.

Mashal reminds us that we are allowed to love deeply, trust softly, and still protect our inner peace. That calm is not weakness. That presence is a form of leadership. That light, when held in integrity, naturally guides others.

This is the gift Mashal offers, to the herd, to the land, and to all who cross his path.
A quiet illumination.
A living reminder of how to walk with grace.

Our Story

Horses, Treks, Healing,Yoga & Wellness Retreats.

Hi there, I'm Terry Newton. Founder of Kindred Spirits. I created Kindred Spirits out of an unshakable love for horses and a passion for learning and sharing knowledge with all the souls that cross my path. Kindred Spirits itself isn’t so much a place, as it is a collection of moments and ideas shared with all the wonderful people that find their way to me and my horses.

Kindred Spirits is Corinne Aulakh, at first a stranger who I’d been told practiced yoga with her horses, who after a phone call and several YTTs has become one of my closest friends. Kindred Spirits is Nathalie, our first long-term volunteer, who came to us to start our first vegetable garden and is now on her way to working with Cavallia, and still finds the time to Skype us.

Kindred Spirits is Johanna Bolst, the volunteer who warms my heart every time she comes back to us, you’ll see her all over the website making yoga on horses look easy with her beautiful blond dreadlocks. Kindred Spirits is my guests, my daughters, the gardeners, and the list could go on for many pages, but you’re already getting the gist.
