Priscilla - my beloved horse - gone to heaven, but spirit still assists - She was so gentle, so beautiful, so powerful. Her names means “wisdom”. She and I rode alone, many trails for many years before I began my healing farm journey.

To the horse nation, sunka wakan oyate, horses are sacred and intelligent teachers of balance. They also heal us just by existing in proximity to us. They are my top choice for PTSD treatment and neurological regulation for those with autism, ADHD, and more.

And for us Horse Nation peoples, the relationship with the horse runs deep in our blood. It is ancestral, it is ancient, and it can never be broken. 🙏♥️😇🐴✌️

After post - my comments

You guys ! ALL who have heart feelings around my beloved Priscilla’s death.
Here is WHAT ELSE you need to KNOW

DEATH - a thing we don’t talk much about … we have “the normal rituals of business actions around A DEATH”. But and - the lingerings of someone you dearly and Godly loved - STILL REMAINS.
Not many help with the emotional content of death / loss.
IT IS A CONTINUUM.
“IT” never leaves your psyche or body here on earth.
My farm offers emotional intelligence programs and work in deep spaces within to facilitate the processing of emotions around the love of another and their death. It IS SO VERY POWERFUL !

And SO - I wrote “this” of Priscilla - because she was / is - my best teacher and close to God; she was with me in deep woods 35 years; alone in nature (ALONE) IS good medicine. The best I say !
Her presence STILL comes thru often times; WHEN I need to be closer to
God and the good of Heaven. Because, God knows, this earth life is difficult. With the evil in unhealed parts of so many others we deal with. And I have been “doing” / working with - the energies held in unmet and unhealed parts of self hidden deep within humans - for 35 years -
I see and know ALOT !
JUST like Priscilla’s name - which means wisdom….
Rhyme and reason God gave her to me to steward and her me - ALL those 35 years.
She IS alive and coming thru now; in this difficult time of my life; as I am traversing A VERY DIFFICULT “THING”.
So please have prayers for me and my farm - which IS a beloved output of Priscilla. She guided and guides me - every step of the way.
So do my other horses - who also grieve for her guidance and earth presence
Other horses are -
Lightning
Lucky
Diamond
Lilly & Simba.

The sting of death.
It never ends.
It is A POWERFUL THING -to learn to work with for co-creating “Heaven on earth”

which is the name of my first farm which got taken by illegal government. The same battle I am upon again now in this new county.

To also be against the attorney we hired - who threw us to the wolves after he expended the fees we graciously paid.

So THIS is THE BATTLE God has placed upon me to work with and thru. For greater life ways on earth without government greed and power abuse.

My farm is helping people who have a hard time having a home - we are teaching them how to build and have their own tiny house.
Government and our attorney has done some very illegal things around our farm’s mission.
Iredell County took my last farm which was all donated land and served 20 people every day for over 10 years.
That farm’s name wad Heqven on Earth.

ALL for money, righteous indignation (can’t own their unethical behaviors even after being exposed)

So THIS is why Priscilla is coming thru now. And at this sacred time of her Birth - Christmas Day. Along with Jesus.

Please pray for my farm.

Thank you
Amen and Aho

Hello! I'm interested in hosting/partnering with therapists who want to work outside the box, in nature for their sessions; and am looking for some input.

Please allow me to post in yoir group Badass Therapists ?

I have a farm in Hickory, NC - an hour from Charlotte and Asheville. I have 4 equines (2 are minis), 3 goats, and a flock of chickens. All of my animals are extremely well socialized and safe. We run kids' programs here and they are exposed to a lot.

I have 45 years of experience with horses in rescue/rehab. I have my own written curriculum and was doing EAL before it became “a thing”; with extensive experience in horse handling for sessions. I am extremely safety conscious and have a safe facility.

I'm interested in negotiating partnering the use of my facility; Practitioners - we only do unmounted EAL. They would be welcome to engage with the rest of the animals on the farm as well.

Any input or resources would be so appreciated!

Hello CLT area friends -
A local light worker I’ve know for YEARS is at the tail end of her application window for a sacred magic mushroom retreat she’s hosting near Charlotte on the weekend of 10/17 - 10/19. 🍄

If you’ve always dreamed of finding a high-vibration English-speaking medicine woman for a deep dive inside your own psyche to reconnect with your inner wisdom - PM me and I’ll connect you to her here. 💁‍♀️

While these transcendent ceremonies are definitely not for everyone - they are powerful tools for awakening your own inner oracle and so applying and getting your medical “clearance” for this event THIS WEEK is critical for you to prepare physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically 😇.

When you were young, certain emotions or traits weren’t safe to express—maybe anger, sadness, joy, tenderness. Instead of being welcomed, they were shamed, dismissed, or punished.
Because you couldn’t abandon your caregivers, you abandoned your Self. Those emotions didn’t disappear—they were exiled into what Jung would call the unconscious, or the “trauma world.”
That’s why your inner world feels terrifying: the “dark side” you fear isn’t a monster—it’s the child you left behind.
🙏♥️😇🐴✌️
COME ! Let’s dig this crap up & out for light transformation & true healing. Don’t have to cycle and talk about “it” - it just happens magically with the wonderful horses who heal
🙏♥️😇🐴✌️
