Winds
It started with this drawing. It gives a sense of earth on the lower left, a plant pot standing in the middle. Up to here it all looks normal, except for some dark rot in the earth. But then a few horizontal views of fields grow in lines from the right side of the pot….
Who Will Fix our Educational System?
Here’s a really good question on the failed-state of Education- who can initiate that change? I imagine that it will emerge organically, by those for whom the system has failed. Home schooling- may be one place where change will emerge. I think it used to be that most parents chose to home school for religious…
We Are Free…
Today is a grey, washed blue day in Almuñécar… A very different view from the window I am sitting by, as I haven’t seen many clouds since I have been here… But it is beautiful and very still… And I enjoyed my morning run. I was wearing shorts and a T shirt, and as usual…
The Power of Sisterhood: Mum Friends Make It Better
Today I want to share my gratitude for some very special women in my life. They are my local “Mummy Friends” and I know that some of you will be reading this article. Thank you for being in my life, and thank you for keeping me mostly sane during the challenging times we face. I…
Deepening Your Connection – Part 4 of 5
Given that horses are such sensitive animals it is also very important for us to take good care of ourselves.

Is Having Fun Optional?
Are you having fun in your life? I mean real fun, the type of fun that feeds your heart with laughter and joy, not just entertainment! There is a huge difference between the two: the former is an activity that recharges your batteries and feeds your soul, whereas the latter helps you to kill time…
Dreaming the Earth
I dream another native dream. Men dance in a Native American ceremony and pray for the spirit of my friend’s brother on the East Coast. I feel sad as I watch. I sense I am holding onto something. I have an attachment to my friend and a dance we shared and performed together before I came…
Imagine!
‘Imagine’ is a magic word! It opens up all sorts of possibilities and encourages us to broaden our minds and allow our thoughts to roam free. It encourages us to look in all directions and dimensions. We can imagine what life will be like in five, ten, twenty years time. We can imagine how it…
Déjà Vu
Strange times. I know I am getting more into the depth of who I am, where it starts to feel more like the truth than the way I feel toward the outside world. The outside world starts being perceived more and more a manifestation of the inner world. Even if it impresses on me its…
Introducing Eileen Bennett
It took me almost 6 decades to recognize that my four equal passions in life could be merged to create something very special. In no particular order, I’d been finding my bliss when engaged with teaching, learning, people or horses. In 2015, I set up Horses Connect, a non-profit company based in the West of…
Energetic Balance and Cultural Clutter
A while back, I was talking about clearing the energy bubble. I often make the comparison of the energy bubble, to the proverbial junk drawer. The place where we accumulate.. well.. clutter. And as a home-owner, I have a keen understanding and appreciation of the law of physics- nature abhors a vacuum. Years ago, I…
