The Archetype of Power: Harnessing our Inner Power.
Horses represent the epitome of power. Learn how to create your own sense of empowerment from interacting with the horses. How do we learn to accept ourselves? How do we move through a world that often challenges our self-acceptance? Horses are powerful animals; experience how they stay in the moment to channel their power.
