We had an amazing turnout, 16 participants, and they were an eclectic mix of horse enthusiasts, therapists, educators, body and energy workers and even a well-known physician. We also had six horses and one donkey join us to help me facilitate.<\/p>\n<p>Our day was a blend of Shadow Work\u00ae teaching and equine experiential activities allowing the women to explore the archetypes and their shadows through their interactions with the horses. Despite the cold temperatures, women walked away with new insights and personal knowing.<\/p>\n<p>We are excited to announce that, in addition to our Introduction to Equine-Assisted Shadow Work\u00ae workshops, we have developed a new retreat offering called &#8220;Shadow Work\u00ae through the Way of the Horse and Nature: The Four Quadrants of Relationship.&#8221; We will begin offering these retreats in 2015, beginning with a retreat for women in May.\u00a0 Stay tuned for news about men\u2019s and co-ed retreats.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shadowwork.com\/oldsite\/IntrotoEquineAssistedSW.jpg\" alt=\"Intro to Equine-Assisted Shadow Work\" width=\"430\" border=\"1\" \/><br clear=\"ALL\" \/><i>&#8220;Thank you for a lovely day on Sunday.
