Hello Blog Readers!

It has been a long time sense my last entry and Joan did a nice job of updating you to our latest projects on her last post.  

I am currently in Denmark attending a compact schooling course with horse specialist, and as I’m learning, life specialist, Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling (http://www.hempfling.com/).  I arrived here on the 5th of September and will continue here for a three week period until the 28th of Sept.  

My fellow students and I (about 25, all women except for one) just finished out first section of the course titled “Spiritual Awareness” and will continue in the next weeks to cover “Body Awareness,” “The Art of Lunging,” and “The Art of Riding.”  

Klaus is an extremely gifted story teller, weaving the tales of mythology, history, and spiritual essence of our ancestors into a compelling explanation for “the way things are.”  He deals with why we struggle with horses, with our daily lives, and with our own goals and development.  He teaches about “being,” coming back to nature, and cultivating an authentic self through honesty and the pursuit of knowledge.  This course already has been, and I am confident will continue to be, a life altering experience.

I will be writing another work packet for Goddard College (the first of my now senior semester) on this course experience and will be sure to post it when it is finished so that you the readers can get a better sense of where this journey is taking my horses and I.

Thanks for reading and please feel free to comment and ask questions!
