I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2006 (but was diagnosed correctly after three years of misdiagnoses), and I have been on a mission of research, knowledge and awareness …

We have found that the direct route to this type of awakening lies not in striving to rise above our human tendencies, but in falling totally into them with conscious awareness. This, along with an investigation of Consciousness, and transmission of Being, catalyzes a quantum shift in identity. We find that we are no longer exclusively identified with our finite human self, but have shifted to …

This group is formed to simplify our relationships with the natural -untrained horse, to learn to LISTEN and learn from what they can teach us.  Rose was considered a Whisperer, however, prefers 'Listener', because of all the horses have taught her over many long years --especially horse/human relationship, behaviors, human control and expectations, that reflect inner human behavior --and need for more understandings. We work to improve this relationship. Learning the language of the horse is ex …
