Owning Your Shadow: Black Horse Wisdom Weekend

Owning Your Shadow
The Black Horse Wisdom Weekend Saturday 3rd – Sunday 4th October 2026

For those seeking personal growth, spiritual expansion and exploration with Horses. Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners.

Why choose this course?

This powerful Eponaquest™️ weekend workshop invites us to explore the Shadow self through the archetypes of the horse ancestors.

Black Horse Wisdom is a spiritual and psychological path using equine-facilitated learning to explore the deeper, often darker, aspects of our psyche, helping us find balance and wisdom within by embracing what lies in the shadow side. This is often the hidden, repressed or covert parts of ourselves. By owning our shadow, we can greater step into our light.

What’s included?

A tranquil setting with a maximum of four participants. Our time will be spent with our herd of horses in the paddocks as well as tailored activities in the Menage. We will have an indoor teaching room and outdoor fire pit. Use of Shamanic drums is included.

Focusing on accessing intuition, creativity, and deeper self-understanding through interactive, non-riding experiences with horses.

In this workshop you’ll partner with horses as guides, incorporating myth, visioning, and communication techniques to help connect with inner wisdom.
