Celebrate the Sacred Festival of Samhain

**The white stag is considered to be a sacred being,
often appearing during a troubled time. It is never to be caught,
but rather must be allowed to run wild and free. **

‘The Journey’ tells the story of my encounter with a white elk and the visions he inspired. His domestic captivity did not diminish him. He shone like a beacon on a distant hill, and then walked directly to me as if he knew me. Immediately I knew he was more than he seemed.

His presence radiated a sacredness that transcended his earthly form. As I captured his portrait in delicate pastel strokes, I was transported to another realm, where visions and dreams intertwined with my art. My hand seemed to move on its own, revealing hidden secrets of this mystical being. As I delved deeper, I realized that this elk, this guardian, was accompanied by guides of a lion, a shaman, and a unicorn. As if whispering through the layers of his soft hair, another lion, a swan, and a horse spirit also appeared. ‘The Journey’ is more than a painting; it's intended to evoke the presence of the being that holds the ancient secrets of the earth in his gentle yet powerful presence.

This painting is one of the few I've created in which the horse is not the main subject. Please let me know how you like it.

"Do your work, speak your truth, show your impact and those with ears will listen and want to know and hear.

Don't hurt yourself by trying to get those without ears to hear.”

You can't split your connection—horses and people know when you're truly present.

What we often think of as “multitasking” is actually rapid “connection switching.”

In the Equimotional space, whether working with horses or people, shifting your attention too quickly can leave both beings feeling unseen.

Constantly moving between tasks creates emotional fatigue and stops us from making those deep, meaningful connections we crave. Healing and growth happen when we slow down, hold space, and stay present, allowing trust and transformation to flourish.
