A Sanctuary to Quiet the Mind and Open the Heart

Retreats and Workshops

For An Inspired Life ...

Epona Ridge is located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina.

Our retreats enhance your ability to fully live in the moment, listen within for personal wellness and find inspiration and creativity..

You will gain individual awareness and learn tools for personal expansion in the art of connection, both to oneself as well as to all other beings.

Workshops and retreats include many different reflective and experiential sessions and are designed for those who are looking for the gentle peace and deep connection to life, those in personal transition/new beginnings (leaving or starting careers, relationships or life focus) as well as those who want to find more effective keys to personal fulfillment.

We work with the teachings of Abraham-Hicks Law of Attraction and Allowing, the ancient practice of Reiki and the Epona Way of the Horse.

Why Horses

During sessions with horses, we learn about ourselves...

The biofeedback horses provide, helps us learn how we can better manage our energy patterns during human interactions in life.

The physiological effects include lowered blood pressure and heart rate, increased beta-endorphin levels, decreased stress levels, reduced feelings of anger, tension and anxiety, improved personal relationships, trust, patience and self-esteem.

Our horses freely roam the mountain land and have an indoor Picadero (a space designed with sacred geometry that has large openings to the mountains in the distance).

The horses freely choose when it is time to be present and have helped so many over the years through healing at liberty.

'Just Be-ing with these sentient beings provides a sense of peace, like deep meditation, allowing you to quiet your mind. When you quiet your mind you stop thought; when you stop thought you stop resistance; when you stop resistance... you are in a state of allowing.... Then clarity and inner guidance can flow and you move towards a life in balance.' Barbara Alexander

These special teachers have dramatically accelerated personal growth and have proven to be masters of empowerment, creativity, inspiration and joy. It is a spiritual retreat that feeds the soul. (see testimonials)

Testimonials

I wanted to thank you for the Reiki Workshop and for all your kindnesses. It has been yet another deepening journey to North Carolina for me. My trips to Epona Ridge are like holy pilgrimages... travel to a sacred site, wise teachers in many forms and an opening on yet another level of my heart....

Manci O, Virginia

I loved how you designed the flow of exercises, rituals, and experiences and I felt so supported by you and the horses to live in my heart. I know energetically I have been changed profoundly.

D. Clements Mamaroneck, NY

Wow I just finished the intensive week there at Epona Ridge with the Horses, cats and of course Barbara.......

Thank you, I wasn't sure before I started working with the horses that they could possibly react to me in ways that were significant only to me..........Much to my amazement they did over and over give me exactly what I needed...........It could be the same horse with different participants and each participant was given exactly what they needed, different behavior for each of us........

I am amazed and grateful to experience this for myself.... I will be there again that is for sure..........
