It started with intensity at the end of January 2011 when I decided to go to South Africa and see the truth of animals living in the wild. Unsatisfied with the answers, I went to India looking for the truth of humans in an ancient civilization. Packing up my life as a dressage trainer in Southern California, I moved to Jaipur, India to follow a spiritual inquiry.Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15880426408839431341noreply@blogger.comBlogger1599125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284147047183694291.post-31590874333371047332023-03-27T17:58:00.001-07:002023-03-27T17:58:36.752-07:00Reverence for the Land<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXOnM0D-NW6rGm2JXzum15LQieNMmrwgM-wkoWHAqWICii_nRyXF8kuPEji7vDTmvHS6cF1MH8eBNWSt6Kh1i9Yi9MWUJEOielvDveaMr_DlKFNuq0R6AwU-_8Sssuh2OO8IJlPnb98xtNHaVBQQaqZeGQDh6XEU59_OMWyqx2mgMA_-e-owF01FOU/s1600/PHOTO-2023-03-08-09-51-45%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1066" data-original-width="1600" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXOnM0D-NW6rGm2JXzum15LQieNMmrwgM-wkoWHAqWICii_nRyXF8kuPEji7vDTmvHS6cF1MH8eBNWSt6Kh1i9Yi9MWUJEOielvDveaMr_DlKFNuq0R6AwU-_8Sssuh2OO8IJlPnb98xtNHaVBQQaqZeGQDh6XEU59_OMWyqx2mgMA_-e-owF01FOU/w478-h315/PHOTO-2023-03-08-09-51-45%204.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrJVvBQcoOb0nU3RtH9hrs3dxdfa77j20xUQ6KjyYBLLmGXkitoWWfHDCXqT7qCf-_tFQOW2CmdoBE3745HvOBs_zZsvUBnchlIRpiJwuRy9bnpIxy8XszaykGniXXKHzAs5t1rjJxSDSCR9sQ3FmwGHj9an4uwlSU_JC7GcJjCl49jV7OasfXJjrW/s1600/PHOTO-2023-03-08-09-51-45%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1066" data-original-width="1600" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrJVvBQcoOb0nU3RtH9hrs3dxdfa77j20xUQ6KjyYBLLmGXkitoWWfHDCXqT7qCf-_tFQOW2CmdoBE3745HvOBs_zZsvUBnchlIRpiJwuRy9bnpIxy8XszaykGniXXKHzAs5t1rjJxSDSCR9sQ3FmwGHj9an4uwlSU_JC7GcJjCl49jV7OasfXJjrW/w474-h315/PHOTO-2023-03-08-09-51-45%203.jpg" width="474" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Just under two years and everything at Horse Woods Haven has come together. All the fields have a beautiful new fence, automatic field waterers, and an over-sized outdoor arena. The property boundary has been marked, trails are ribboned, two labyrinths, a garden, house in great shape, driveway weeded and refreshed. Next step, how to proceed? The two years as a steward has changed my life to have a spiritual practice in daily study while attending to the care and beauty of the land. 8 horses. Some are rescues. Moving towards not riding, but offering experiences with the horses, land, and being. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzMd0FrvORGQSIpbHIsZxmyDktDCDa3kAmcQaRfT_ozkq11GXutCY81wKG0sG_PFawpMIw3cgHJPcin9RGohbRv5ZryPn3adACUsnGqHRWn3GD9f3r053UkWJSfJh963j3isUQcPQyhgUY99NSwbTlRLlxEryfrms3hzFc9rk3WRNSTRUps1JcsvyU/s4032/IMG_6167%202.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzMd0FrvORGQSIpbHIsZxmyDktDCDa3kAmcQaRfT_ozkq11GXutCY81wKG0sG_PFawpMIw3cgHJPcin9RGohbRv5ZryPn3adACUsnGqHRWn3GD9f3r053UkWJSfJh963j3isUQcPQyhgUY99NSwbTlRLlxEryfrms3hzFc9rk3WRNSTRUps1JcsvyU/w476-h358/IMG_6167%202.jpeg" width="476" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglIUCeGpcTG1romVeCGcnFln6b98X7kI5rQwcz3BOWxVZUu7JMrywPGtTR3B7PHfMnmoHGFqcTe1VWpE_fJeOI49N5NQliUchSTf25gVaA1MvU3wNJtFJCR6YR55hUltjbW2NST997E9873Bzzd7cZbGPA3pr7t8SCX32dGqwtou0uFn6PkFgkCRX5/s4032/IMG_6189.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglIUCeGpcTG1romVeCGcnFln6b98X7kI5rQwcz3BOWxVZUu7JMrywPGtTR3B7PHfMnmoHGFqcTe1VWpE_fJeOI49N5NQliUchSTf25gVaA1MvU3wNJtFJCR6YR55hUltjbW2NST997E9873Bzzd7cZbGPA3pr7t8SCX32dGqwtou0uFn6PkFgkCRX5/w336-h448/IMG_6189.jpeg" width="336" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFXdL18wLhLnj49NotxpjS92vNrITWczFKMUQ3TRkiA583fCqz-0wdjOsa2YMKdU5aG17hVmq84_3L_HSxWhBHsLEHIzAxTrThpzqmiri1lTElL3imLCNcQPcUMp4fp67gQ08CcVfxkNKtN5ucmRk0GpkKV_v0tbK5OxwO57-bZUjv0_pwK0_dEQcw/s4032/IMG_6214.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFXdL18wLhLnj49NotxpjS92vNrITWczFKMUQ3TRkiA583fCqz-0wdjOsa2YMKdU5aG17hVmq84_3L_HSxWhBHsLEHIzAxTrThpzqmiri1lTElL3imLCNcQPcUMp4fp67gQ08CcVfxkNKtN5ucmRk0GpkKV_v0tbK5OxwO57-bZUjv0_pwK0_dEQcw/w511-h383/IMG_6214.jpeg" width="511" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcJS6pSj4ioND5C9ZhbIRO-ZR3qQSHT4LNCK4jiahVcM8X88hcYM7pdeOYlAxTmLXBxZIwOA2e55ns_QnumdsphyBfOtkwVUXMSnhBqjYKd-O-Tzmi6trWpb5GLqV6XBClrXoPvV5TVYs4pl6FVKkAa8v2zaV-xoV1jo2ZxUq1de6-hjusWBBhLW3S/s4032/IMG_6124.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcJS6pSj4ioND5C9ZhbIRO-ZR3qQSHT4LNCK4jiahVcM8X88hcYM7pdeOYlAxTmLXBxZIwOA2e55ns_QnumdsphyBfOtkwVUXMSnhBqjYKd-O-Tzmi6trWpb5GLqV6XBClrXoPvV5TVYs4pl6FVKkAa8v2zaV-xoV1jo2ZxUq1de6-hjusWBBhLW3S/w314-h320/IMG_6124.jpeg" width="314" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15880426408839431341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284147047183694291.post-89974567639352139702022-07-13T13:13:00.003-07:002022-07-13T13:25:39.454-07:00East Meets West in Kentucky<p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrFwcz2K-SeJI4ZDIiTLrNzSCionRQo2bc4WCSbPqt0b1_4-r4A26my-Q6mS6EQVCGqlSDr22z99JPRSnbp9h3LCE4fhFgRNKi9sGwuSoEKloAIcHgDGxt2QKUeUW_l-BnMhcOwr6eC-p3CJfvheYVURARa1ZRHQ3zTfXAcYTO9X1usKGfKy2du1z2/s4032/IMG_4796.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrFwcz2K-SeJI4ZDIiTLrNzSCionRQo2bc4WCSbPqt0b1_4-r4A26my-Q6mS6EQVCGqlSDr22z99JPRSnbp9h3LCE4fhFgRNKi9sGwuSoEKloAIcHgDGxt2QKUeUW_l-BnMhcOwr6eC-p3CJfvheYVURARa1ZRHQ3zTfXAcYTO9X1usKGfKy2du1z2/w300-h400/IMG_4796.jpeg" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Doorway from the indoor arena to the house.

The opportunity to have a Vedic Priest come from the Louisville Hindu Temple and bless the horses and the land arose. It was also an auspicious day, Guru Purnima. His father from India was visiting, his wife came, and a friend who is a priest. They loved having the 5 horses in the background which is symbolic of the 5 horses Krishna drove in a chariot.</p><p> It feels like a new beginning. The farm is ready for the next step. Let's see what it is. The retired horses, retreats, gatherings, yoga, etc are all developing options. </p><p>Ironically, I was never involved in the poojas in India. I would watch from afar. Fun to be a part of one here in Kentucky.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLQn_y3CkYxKJ3r0iHwY-Gu9K768lgn6l0kWvOqC_sijG63KnUKYqmiemsa_HfwYe7b-BlzQ2zGlWBNfZZwWVmGa1iGPIekiFn5bX_ldhWQRjRC4_hrdhdt4UKBM8aRlz5USWM65tRmf-nFOb3cRl3bSGWbbwqxt64MiOeK6V1ZlidRIsCAdNw-9xd/s4032/IMG_4771.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The basic farm is in order now. Fences repaired, painted, and a strand of electric added to prevent chewing on the fences. The indoor arena has footing. The base of the outdoor arena is set and ready for sand. Two labyrinths created. 5 horses in varying stages of life are living here: Nador, Lincoln, Harlan, Sweet Pea, and Gracie. 2 cats: Sofia and Corgi. Interior of the house is in order, but still very little furniture. All the borders of the fields and fences are cleared for walking and riding. Two big installations looming--fencing between the woods and the fields plus, four water troughs installed for rotational grazing. Forester assessed the woods and said it is unusual to walk into woods that haven't been logged for 60 years. He commented on my good fortune. Tractor and zero turn are the major work horses for keeping the place trimmed. Garden thriving. Time to start looking at the business and how to proceed. </p><p>In the meantime, I am going to follow a new thread of learning about Devas, the vortex, and the energetics of being in a sacred space of such beauty and resonance. Someone suggested to start blogging about it as I learn and observe. A new chapter. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-KRla1xs3HWz4RWtTY6nvuA5EN-69fp6JuvCKvfuINDzK2pUuDgfAcaN-NReHuh5YDfFr4oP1otCddYSlV-UmArB4rnUz2pi11mWmaSj9hPH_jah3Js7PE9syyzle3xebGNDiFaL-JI0quWNKpAaeK9PpogfKuOUouA7frw5A4hjjwzMg5bstX-I/s4032/IMG_4453.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto;

The caring of the land and knowing it from all of the exercises of weeding, weed-eating, and tree trimming has developed a sensibility like discovering each horse that I have had in the flow of my life. Magic carpet. Plastic pile removed, hay baled, and more. </p><p>Chloe had just barked and warned me about a snake family that was under the last pile of debris to clean up. She had transitioned to being my steward and not just the reverse. Observing, shaping, and being part of the evolution of a beautiful soul was a privilege. Less then twenty-four hours later, she was struck dead by the neighbor drag racing down the street.

My church is daily life and trying to stay in alignment to right action every thought, breath, and action. With the abundance of people working on projects and the selling of greenhouses, I am exposed to a lot of people. I keep hearing Gurudev's point to capacity building. The pebble started in India and now the ripple is where ever I am. </p><p>Amazing how quickly and with clarity everything is unfolding. A lot of talented, kind, and honest people are joining the team. I have been here for a month and the house is almost finished with painting, new fixtures, details of doors, radon test, mold management, and more. Still need furniture and to hang up the paintings/books on a bookshelf. The barn is getting prepared for new footing, the outside arena for a surface once the greenhouses are moved (maybe by next Tuesday), and the driveway graveled (spraying weeds like crazy with organic spray.) </p><p>Unbelievable how much the trees have grown leaves in just a month. The grass is over my knees. The weather is ever changing, but the living situation for me and the animals is awesome.

I was use to traveling, so walking through a foreign city was nothing new. Seeing cows on the street was. Somehow, I had created a map and was about to test it out. The sights, sounds, and smells were unfamiliar. By this time, I was searching/seeking answers for the pain in my spiritual heart. </p><p>2021. First year to not go to India. Pandemic. Heading to Kentucky instead. I am not sure if I would return to India if I wasn't going to see Gurudev. Although, I have grown to embrace the differences and it feels like a second home.</p><p>Something pulling me to Kentucky not unlike the pull to India. Curiosity and gratitude for what is about to unfold. Takao has been babysitting a rug that I was given from the ashram. Maybe there will be a floor to keep it now. I have been thinking about Durga and all of the wonderful festivals I attended. Maybe I will find a picture to honor her. The house is going to be painted. I haven't had a wall to hang anything for a very long time. A student from over 15 years ago drew wonderful headshots of two past horses, both dead now. </p><p>My first home. My real home is inside now, but it will be fun to play farmer for a bit. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyCESpfb3tN4Ipl0UMXsz8isBsjakuFhKXpb1hM9_2x-_cTI_vbVtwAixGMw1M5wlVm1hIguIUGM_YOm2UU1hxXwPZsqwxhul4bB7vFp3YakPqhz6BJEzJEzLTcTFq-lu-VUO8fhgyWFE/s2048/IMG_2010.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="325" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyCESpfb3tN4Ipl0UMXsz8isBsjakuFhKXpb1hM9_2x-_cTI_vbVtwAixGMw1M5wlVm1hIguIUGM_YOm2UU1hxXwPZsqwxhul4bB7vFp3YakPqhz6BJEzJEzLTcTFq-lu-VUO8fhgyWFE/w434-h325/IMG_2010.jpeg" width="434" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15880426408839431341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284147047183694291.post-38777761541544405792021-03-11T11:08:00.003-08:002021-03-11T14:19:17.902-08:00Watching the Evolution of Self<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwVO91S_ycfC7JAK2ZEMbjwRQgsgwtXJP0cnEvPwXvhUbK5TPa_DNS8cIEYvX6zD7PCq-EuKQyXGrDJlDD-hH_MpBp2r6vZ-OldeWjS4RpuJwNJRvZewIb1FjSkG-tGjIGwHg2HeM42KY/s2048/IMG_2038.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="419" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwVO91S_ycfC7JAK2ZEMbjwRQgsgwtXJP0cnEvPwXvhUbK5TPa_DNS8cIEYvX6zD7PCq-EuKQyXGrDJlDD-hH_MpBp2r6vZ-OldeWjS4RpuJwNJRvZewIb1FjSkG-tGjIGwHg2HeM42KY/w358-h419/IMG_2038.jpeg" width="358" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px;">Watching the evolution of Self in a way that I could have never imagined before.

As I age, I see more clearly the circle of life and how my homework takes me through the work over-and-over again, but with slight variations. The first week that I stayed in India without the group, Gurudev commented on, "Why do we get so upset when life is just a circle?" Not that I doubted Gurudev, but the simplicity caught me off guard. I have thought of it as a spiral staircase with the small changes as I pass through the rolodex of life options. </p><p>Looking at a piece with humanity and self where the unpredictability of both is probably not something to "master" but something I examine in every exchange. The examination can be a distraction from the state of inner peace, but I also see how it builds capacity. The design matrix is remarkable in the unrelenting options to inquire, examine, and how to take action. </p><p>As a seeker, does the seeking ever end? Does it become its own obstacle course?

Today, there isn't a day that I don't reflect on and try to integrate what I learned. Global nomad with horses. Pandemic has limited my travel to Hungary and India this year. Walking with horses while living in Loomis, CA and next to the Pacific Coast Trail that runs from Canada to Mexico. Tempting to just start walking. </p><p>As I walked in India, I often thought it would have been fun to have my horse family with me. While riding my Hungarian horse, Nador, I ran into a woman walking her small herd of 5 goats with bells. Nador ate grass quietly while we visited and the goats grazed as well. Touched my heart deeply. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSkEruQxJZ-iMI2Yj-4rQa-hTUzToAOoddg9F_gdLzndbODidb2sUL5bwNmZxuCDP38nvV7qMRhC67ygD9H6Gfh9mIyxpHmPQEjKCyUv8-S_9EEfrC7kyeErdECZXORRbbHB853dPp5PA/s439/image1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="328" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSkEruQxJZ-iMI2Yj-4rQa-hTUzToAOoddg9F_gdLzndbODidb2sUL5bwNmZxuCDP38nvV7qMRhC67ygD9H6Gfh9mIyxpHmPQEjKCyUv8-S_9EEfrC7kyeErdECZXORRbbHB853dPp5PA/w291-h390/image1.jpeg" width="291" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15880426408839431341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-284147047183694291.post-63659490539418847282020-04-01T20:38:00.002-07:002020-04-05T10:48:43.797-07:00A Note<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

When a new seed sprouts, it literally sends out a note--a complex, prescribed code or blueprint for the species, to which the building devas can hear and automatically respond, to build the form that the seed will become.<br />

Sheltering in place, living in isolation, maintaining inner peace, considering we instead me in the Oneness. Thank you for my journey in India to help prepare me personally for the global pandemic.<br />

Amazing 32 hour drive in my bubble through the NV desert. Sheltering in my bubble.<br />

Took a little side trip to Cameo, CO to sit with the wild horses. Touching their lives and not what we are inflicting on them is important for anyone who wants to understand and work with horses. It was a version of the truth for horses. Gurudev encouraged me to continue with horses for as long as I am able and I realize that no matter how crazy the container is for the horse, my favorite thing to do on the planet is work with horse's intelligence, curiosity, willingness, and sensitivity. Merging with this energy while in a wake state is euphoric and joyful for me. It isn't about the experience of the horse, but the experience with the horse.<br />
