Hi, I’m Robin.
Healer. Mother. Witch.
Well, Witchy.
I am Woman in Touch with Shakti- the Divine Feminine.
We are Remembering, Sisters, and we are being called to Gather.
I’ll bring the horses.
Join me in this sanctuary, this healing place of restoration and release.
Allow the currents of emotion to flow through your veins. Know your innate power and strength. And reconnect with Her wisdom, which is yours.
Set forth with a heart that is light, a mind that is balanced, and intention that is clear.
And return again for sacred sisterhood, ritual, harmony with nature and the magick of the horses.
I am a visionary and an intuitive empath, and I feel you.
I understand that “the dream” means the same thing as “the plan” to one who trusts in her manifesting ability, and I know how hard it is to believe in yourself when this doesn’t seem to make sense to anyone but you.
My vision is a sacred healing space where conscious connection with horses brings women back into contact with the wisdom of their souls, empowering and allowing them to set the course of their lives by trusting in their dreams and following their hearts.
Lose your head!
Not a single thread that has a head can go through the eye of the needle.
-Rumi
I love Rumi. And if it were enough to read his poetry or buy calendars with his words printed over pictures of lotus flowers, I’d be all set. But calling my cat Rumi and then leaving it at that would never have gotten me where I am today.
Mine has been a path of Radical Faith. And I have had to take those sparks of light you and I have embedded within, those calls, those pulls, that Deep Knowing that I find grows brighter and stronger reading Rumi or Hafiz, meditating, or connecting with the horses, and let them lead me.
Those seemingly ludicrous sparks that implore me to Be Still, and Relax, and Allow. That tell me If this job is hurting you, then leave it! Or If this person drains your energy it is time to walk away. The thrilling sparks that whisper Go to California!, and the scary ones that answer only TRUST. BREATHE, when I’ve not known how I’ll pay my rent.
My spirit has never been content to take orders from my mind, or let my ego keep it sheltered in so-called safety. And I have tried, believe me. I have sought to wrestle my life into peaceful compliance with a nice, easy path and some dinners out at restaurants.
But my soul has refused to budge.
Following my Heart is not a fanciful notion for me. It is a sacred decree.
I lamented, in my early days of surrender to the Universe, that “I leapt, and the net did appear, but it was crumpled up in a heap beside me.” I felt betrayed, disappointed, and confused.
Now I understand the confusion.
I was never meant to have a net.
Sisters, we were born to fly.
You don’t have to do it alone- which is what you’re doing if you’re letting your mind lead the way.
TRUST and SURRENDER are my Power tools, and I’ll teach you how to use them.
The horses have always been there. I have always known I would have a ranch one day, and a herd of my own to thunder hoofbeats through the fields.
And I have always felt called to healing work, to connect with people in empathic and meaningful ways.
My background is in film and television acting, where I learned to understand emotional truth as ripping open your chest to lay your heart bare for the world to see. When I taught acting I would tell my students, “We want your TRUTH! We want your HEART, your GUTS, your SHADOW! We don’t want your pretend ANYTHING. We want your rage, your hurts, your ugly. We want the stuff you think you have to hide away. That is your POWER as an actor. And it is your BEAUTY as a human being. We want to FEEL it in you so that we can finally start to feel it in ourselves.” It was then that I started quoting the romantic poet John Keats: “Beauty is truth, truth beauty.” I sincerely believe that in the honest expression of our deepest and darkest selves lies our greatest beauty and brightest light.
Three things cannot long be hidden:
the sun, the moon, and the truth.
-Buddha
I love:
my morning cup of rich, dark roast coffee
waking up with the dog on my bed. Not at the bottom of the bed, where he’s supposed to be, but beside me, with his head on the pillow
Reine Olivia and Henry Gabriel, my children
the smell of woodsmoke
clean bedsheets (see #2)
books
packages in the mail
palo santo anything

Robin is a fabulous FEEL facilitator. I truly enjoyed myself learning to communicate with the horses. I can't thank her enough for the incredible experience that I had during my lessons. I have always loved horses but had a fear of them when getting close. This completely changed my feeling towards them and how I look and approach them now. They are such giving animals. I still have a hard time believing that I was hugged by a horse. But the proof is there in the photos! Thank you Robin!
