At a recent employee retreat (literally today, ha), I experienced my first "equine encounter" and it was probably one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life. Horses are such intelligent and majestic beings. Learning about them and the type of energy they respond to was such a great way to experience my own sense of energy. It was powerful to watch my colleagues go through the motion and completely unreal to be in the "arena" myself. If you ever find yourself in the Austin area (or maybe live here already), check out the Equine Encounter at Travaasa. It's such a remarkable way to connect with another living being and yourself.
