Homeward guides you to turn inward and recover your innate wisdom through a reawakening enabled by nature-honoring, somatic experiences with horses.

EMBODYING TRUTH

By acknowledging and undoing embodied beliefs and behaviors, we can see beneath the personalities we've constructed and reconnect to our authentic selves. 

PERMISSION

We are free to choose what feels good and true without shame, self-denial, or the fear of disappointing others. As we notice, acknowledge, and embody our truth, we free ourselves from limiting structures and beliefs.

BELONGING

A sense of belonging within ourselves allows us to shed the layers of conditioning and integrate the parts that have kept us from feeling fully at home and at peace within. Just as nature is exactly what it is and should be, so are we.

RESTORING TRUST

Restoring self-trust does not involve setting goals or tracking accomplishments; instead it is asking your own questions, listening to your internal wisdom, and taking your own steps.

Participant Testimonials

  • I went into this experience with no expectations and left feeling renewed and awakened. The exercises dealt with setting boundaries and vulnerability. The environment was a safe space and you could feel the collective power of those who participated, including the horses. It was an enlightening experience and recommended to everyone wanting to witness empowerment in nature.

  • Enlightening. The inner perspective guided by the instructors and energetic presence of the horses was eye opening. My takeaway was self knowledge on a level I wasn't aware that needed to be examined. Great expectations equaled a great experience.

    Christopher, USA/Portugal

  • I feel from deep within my heart, Amanda and Homeward offered—or shared with me—a world I needed to reconnect to again yet did not at that time know how. A journey was offered to me, a journey to what I can only describe as one to the far corners of my inner Child, to some aspects of my physical Mother Womb, a Cosmic yet completely earthly experience. Thank you.

  • Attending an Introduction to Equine Guided Empowerment® with Amanda was a very moving experience. As someone who is not used to being around horses, Amanda’s skillful and intuitive facilitation created an environment that allowed us to interact with each other and the horses in a natural, easy, and safe way. I was deeply touched by the horses’ gentle, perceptive presence and the way they connected with us. The exercises gave us an opportunity to explore how we approach situations on a deeper, somatic level, going beyond how we think we approach situations, which was eye-opening, fun, and challenging all at once and really brought us together as a group.

  • When I went last year to Amanda’s place in Portugal, which is beautifully set in the green of Sintra, I felt myself really sink into my body. The energy of her experience and of the group was grounding and uplifting—I left feeling inspired and deeply connected. Some of the exercises encouraged my heart to open further, yet clarified what my boundaries are and instilled a confidence to uphold them in my daily life. The energy of the horses was palpable and simply being in their presence shifted perspective.

  • Amanda has a very special and calming energy, and working with her and her horses I learnt new things about myself that I am not sure I would have learnt in other contexts. I highly recommend her Equine-Guided Empowerment® to anyone who is wanting to better understand and relate to themselves and would like to so in a beautiful, calm setting with an intuitive guide.

    Anna, UK/Portugal

  • As an animal lover, yet someone who’s unfamiliar with horses, this course helped me to understand their innate emotional intelligence and how they reflect our emotions back to us. The exercises forced me to be vulnerable and showed me the value of setting intentional boundaries. Amanda held space for each participant, being open to all experiences and allowing the horses to lead us all on the journey. I left feeling emotionally renewed, rejuvenated, and longing to be with horses again.
