Weekend Immersion Featuring Guest Jacob Holmer! 

Discover the Power of Body Awareness and Mindfulness Through Yogic Practices and Horses!

Investment: $1500

If you're looking to truly understand and connect with horses, then embracing embodiment practices is the key to becoming a true horse magnet.

If you are looking for new perspectives on yoga and embodiment as a yoga practitioner, teacher, or for your personal growth, you'll love this offering. 

Join us, Victoria and Josh Williams, the creators of My Horse Journey, as we wholeheartedly introduce our esteemed guest, Jacob Holmer. Together, we will delve into the profound depths of this essential aspect of Holistic Partnership.

PS> Jacob is one the kindest, warmest, sweetest, most grounded and authentic people we have had the privilege to get to know!

You do not need any experience with yoga, OR horses, OR any advanced understanding of any of these principles going into the immersion. This is an all levels, beginner friendly, supportive and experiential retreat. 

During this immersive weekend, you'll have the opportunity to learn practical and simple exercises you'll be able to continue using long after the weekend immersion, that will enhance your embodiment experience with horses for a lifetime.

Jacob will draw from his extensive experience in both the yogic and equestrian arts to show you techniques that will revolutionize the way you feel your body.

For anyone interested in connecting with horses, this will greatly impact your ability to naturally relate to and communicate with horses.

The event will take place on Friday and Saturday at our home ranch in Madras, OR, followed by Sunday private lessons at Ghost Rock Ranch in Bend, OR.

Private lessons are going to be led by our special guest Jacob, and supported by Victoria and Josh!

Jacob Holmer brings a wealth of experience to this event. Currently serving as an apprentice and assistant trainer at Barbier Farms under the guidance of Maestri Dominique Barbier, Deborah Barbier, and lead trainer Lauren Schultz, Jacob has also been influenced by the teachings of renowned horsemen Ray Hunt and traditional Dressage.

But more than his impressive accolades, Jacob's warm and amazing vibes, along with his passion for teaching and his deep love for horses, make him an exceptional instructor. He is also an experienced Yoga teacher, and he will be sharing how yogic philosophy has profoundly shaped his horsemanship journey, and how you can use these ancient practices on your own journey!

We initially met Jacob at the Barbier Farms symposium in Healdsburg, CA, during the summer of '22, where he was featured as a rider. We're absolutely delighted to have reconnected with him. Jacob's mentor, Dominique, is a true living legend and a beacon in the horsemanship world. He is one of our personal heroes!
