21 Days to a Quiet Mind with Jenny Pearce
We’ve created 21 Days to a Quiet Mind for advanced students and new ones alike – to expand on our own awareness, our own beautiful unique-ness, so that we can all have more of those ahaaa… moments, more often and more easily.
We created Horse Meditations for stress relief, healing, inner peace, happiness, appreciation and lightness of spirit and mixed them with practical exercises with your horse to create what I think is our best program ever.
I can’t recommend Noora Ehnqvist too highly. I’ve known her for four years now and am ever impressed with her gentle ways of achieving powerful change. If you’re even a little bit on a spiritual or personal development path, you’re going to love her!
