We’ll talk about your intake form while walking around. If you’re interested in Human Design we’ll talk about your chart. I’ll ask questions to check in with how you’re feeling mentally, physically, and emotionally. I’ll inquire about your intentions and if you have cultural or spiritual beliefs you want to incorporate.

Standing at the fence, the round pen, the pasture. You can talk if you feel the need to. I’ll listen. You’ll watch the herd or the horse, while I watch you and them. We’ll see which horse(s) gravitate towards you. What feelings come up? How do you attempt to get attention or initiate contact? Do you interpret their signals accurately?

This aspect can shift based on your experience level but could range from being on the opposite side of the fence, entering the pasture, standing in the pasture, allowing the horse to come curiously explore you without you touching the horse. We would slowly move into consensual physical contact such as groundwork, leading, grooming, pampering. I will always be noticing the "reflective" feedback—such as does the horse move away or lean in?

Sitting with the "Reflections." This is my time to ask questions to help you understand you experience. I’ll pay particular attention to the emotions and energy coming out and help you understand what it all means.

Thanking and honoring the herd or specific horse by offering something back to them. The client may feel called to clean their pasture, get treats, groom them, pray for them, or leave other offerings. This is a mostly silent time.
