“Horses never lie,” she said. “They only know now. They don’t care about your past. What are you right now and how do you present yourself? They give us the opportunity to see a person in seconds. |

Women's Weekend / Oct. 22-24 / Goddess Archetypes & the Human Connection
Dr. Thecla Helmbrecht Howard and her herd and wonderful volunteer staff at Kamp Kessa are offering you an opportunity to see yourself through the divine mirror of the horse.
During this immersive weekend on the farm, you will participate in circle, herd art and journaling, riding the beautiful hills of Kentucky and develop a better understanding of the way horses are our souls reflection and healers in the field of complementary medicine.
There are certain times in life when a single concept comes to you over and over again as if to say, “Here is something to pay attention to!” It can come to you in a way that is personal to your collective experience or prior knowledge, and may not make sense to others but strikes a chord deep within your subconscious that causes you to tilt your head slightly as if listening to a far off sound that catches your attention yet you struggle to hear it. The word “resonate” comes to mind. If you are on a seeker’s path, the horse may resonate with you as the embodiment of desire and will of one’s life. The archetype of the horse comes up throughout history as a metaphor for the psyche. They have evolved side by side with humans, and we have created a very unique relationship with them. It may be that they represent this idea of abandon and wild freedom while at the same time something we try to control. As we take a walk through history through the lens of the horse archetype, see what resonates with you, and how the horse might be part of our journey of self-discovery.

Kamp KESSA Guest Reviews
...was an amazing place very relaxing and the experience with the horse interaction was beyond words. Waking up to 20 horses around your cabin and coming up to greet you was so awesome. Everyone was welcoming and kind and was very informative. The whole place is just peaceful. If you take the time to go to Cedar Fire Farm, you have to go on n a trail ride. It was not like any trail ride I have ever experienced. The countryside is amazing and if you don't want to be in a line of horses the whole ride, you must go on this ride! You get to experience what a horse truly is and how special they are and how much they have to offer us.

We can feel them, increase or decrease their amplitude, or move them faster of slower. We can practice this central spiritual concepts in a direct, physical way that allows us to understand them, to observe them and to apply them."
