Girl Scout continues to go for what she wants and needs despite the obstacles. Here she has choices. Magic, Dutch and Grace are in the barn out of the wind which is fierce but they also have hay and are blanketed. The wind chill was 6’ this morning and yet, they are relaxed and taking things in stride. What can we learn from them?

"The monks are walking their purpose… not to fix the world, but to share a measure of peace in the moment.”

Compassion and care for all beings 🙏❤️

🐕 It was a beautiful sight to see Aloka right by the side of the venerable monks this morning! After spending a long, peaceful night staying close with them, he was ready for a new day.

His presence brings so much comfort and joy to the Sangha, and it is clear how much he loves being part of the circle of peace. Whether resting or walking, our Aloka is happiest when he is right where he belongs—with his family on the Walk for Peace.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏

Did you know that January is World Health Esteem Month?

It’s a time to celebrate who we are right now and embrace the small, meaningful choices that help us feel our best. No resolutions. No pressure. Just compassion, intention, and growth.

So… what is Health Esteem?
It’s a new approach to wellness that blends positive self-esteem with the changes you’d like to make. It’s about accepting and appreciating the person you are today while championing who you want to become.

This month invites us to rethink the old “new year, new me” mindset and step away from deprivation and unrealistic ideals. Instead, we choose kindness, authenticity, and sustainable self-care.

Let’s celebrate ourselves — fully, bravely, and joyfully ❤️

I’m so grateful that all of our horses have choices. They have hay inside the shelter and scattered throughout the pasture.

Girl Scout is our oldest horse at almost 30 years old. She’s at a stage of life where she’s not going to let anything stop her from doing what she wants to do.

Thank you Girl Scout for being such an incredible role model .🙏

Grief Retreat with Horses

A sacred, embodied experience of healing, nature, and community

Saturday, March 7, 2026
9:30 AM-12:00 PM

Join us for a powerful and tender gathering at Unbridled Way Forward, where grief is welcomed, honored, and explored in the wisdom-filled presence of horses and nature.

This retreat offers a safe, compassionate space to gently land with your grief—whatever form it takes. Through facilitated experiences, shared stories, and embodied practices, we’ll move out of our heads and into our bodies, where deep healing and clarity can emerge.

Horses create a non-judgmental, grounding presence—helping us access inner wisdom, uncover what’s been hidden, and move toward greater wholeness.

Facilitated by licensed clinical mental health counselors Amanda Graham and Jenna Little, who are deeply committed to holding compassionate, integrative healing spaces for grief.

📍Location: Unbridled Way Forward
🔹Cost: $115
Space is limited to 16 participants

Registration ➡️

Unbridled Way Forward connects people to their wisdom, courage, and compassion through mental health and wellbeing services that incorporate horses, serving individuals and groups.

On this day of remembrance of a great visionary who experienced darkness and hate, I am inspired by his hope and his faith in something larger than the pain and suffering around him.

This is also our calling.

By struggling to see the stars while in the abyss of despair, we rise out of our thinking minds and enter a place of stillness and presence.
