I had said yes to all of these things for way too long - and I knew it was up to me if I wanted it to change. Because I had gone through difficult times, I had learned how to come out the other side ... and that is where it all began.
I had a vision of a retreat center for women like me, those who wanted to reclaim their inner peace and personal joy. This is what I wish I had had all those years ago, the sacred space of Epona Ridge, for women looking for a safe and inspiring opportunity to reconnect with their inner light, and rejuvenate their Soul.
The Epona Ridge Sanctuary, named after the Celtic Horse Goddess 'Epona', is a symbol of the Divine inner feminine strength, healing transformation and balance. We have grown over the last six years to offer life enhancing programs in personal coaching, women's retreats, training and multi month intensives.
Located in the heart of the ancient and healing Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, Barbara Alexander coaches and co-facilitates with her horses, in the art of listening-within.
These programs are especially designed for those who are ready and want to take the path to personal awakening and joy.
And yes, we have workshops that welcome men and couples as well...

and listening within composes the harmony to create the life you love...' Barbara Alexander
