E 45 - MAIKE

HEALING WITH HORSES  Oh, what beautiful, beautiful episode this is. I know nothing about horses, but i have always loved nature and animals more than I can express in words. Not only do I spend much of my free time out in nature, but also God knows how many David Attenborough-esque wild life documentaries I must have watched in my life! So it was a treat to listen to our Maike talk about her understanding of horses and our relationship with them. She is developing communication tools and a healing vocabulary with her herd, while exploring the potential for a symbiotic relationship between humans and horses that honors their wisdom and respects their natural life patterns. Her love and passion for these animals comes alive through examples and stories from her research work, in a conversation that brings us a bit closer to the magical moment of inter-species communication. If you love horses, or simply animals in general, this is a gift. Enjoy!
