SUMMARY:Writing Between the Worlds: A Transformational Writers’ Retreat with Linda Kohanov (Workshop Full)
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated By: Linda Kohanov — Introductory and Advanced \nTime: 9:30a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily \nCost: $2500 tuition includes workshop materials\, snacks\, beverages\, and lunch. \nLocation: Rainbow Reach in Sebastopol\, CA (address provided upon registration) \nThis in-depth writer’s workshop draws on Linda’s extensive experience as a professional journalist and best-selling author. For those who would like to expand their writing skills and learn how to focus their work\, while accessing greater creativity through reflective work with horses. This workshop is designed to give participants plenty of time to write in the inspiring setting of beautiful California wine country while also offering writing hints\, creativity expansion exercises\, and advice on getting published\, from newspaper and magazine articles\, to engaging agents and book publishers. \nThis workshop is limited to four participants. (3 spots remaining) \n“This is a retreat with focus where you can build upon the writing skills and ideas you have\, and explore in a safe\, purposeful environment\,” notes Diane Ratkovich\, who attended the fall 2015 Writing between the Worlds workshop. “Having the horses and the beautiful environment allows you to access deep inside yourself in ways you did not know existed\, and you will have the structure to complete a project. To me\, this was the perfect group size. I learned a lot from the other participants. For this group\, we all want to be together again.” \n“The whole experience was so much more than I ever dared hope for\,” adds Iva Peele\, who also attended the workshop. “It would be hard to improve the balance between the horse time\, the writing time\, and the sharing time. I wish I could do this at least twice a year. More than any other workshop I have attended\, Writing Between the Worlds creates access to the TRUE writing zone\, where you learn how to translate your deepest experiences into words.” \n“I found the small group valuable\,” says Angela Shcolnik. “Listening to one another was inspiring\, eye-opening\, and emotionally moving\, and sparked considerable insight. Having Linda share different edits of sections in her book was very helpful—seeing how you make changes in each version to help the reader stay engaged\, and not get confused or lose interest. These four days were turbo-charged in helping me get to the next level with my book. It could have taken me months to get this in-depth.” \n“Being with the horses both alone and with the group was fantastic\,” adds Yongkai Ow. “Being able to learn together with a group of like-minded and open individuals was also valuable. Linda’s guidance and expertise\, gently but firmly nudging us toward doing a completed project and finding focus made a real difference for my sometimes scatter-brain style of writing. We also did a guided journey for assistance on a particular topic relevant to our individual projects. This brought everything to a beautiful closure and allowed me to proceed with confidence and inspiration in my writing style and with life in general. Definitely my favorite workshop so far.” \nGenesis of this Workshop \nAs a bestselling author and a journalist with 30 years experience in book\, magazine\, and newspaper writing\, Linda Kohanov regularly receives manuscripts and inquiries from people interested in getting published. “It’s really quite amazing the amount of material that comes through my office\,” she marvels. “I actually spend a significant amount of time looking through the heartfelt stories and powerful experiences people work so hard to capture in writing. And I do send the more highly developed ideas and sample chapters on to my agent and/or publisher. Rarely\, however\, do these projects make it to publication. Over the last 14 years\, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of why through extensive conversations with my agent\, editor\, and other published authors I’ve come to know.” \n“While I have been successful commercially as a writer\,” she continues\, “it has been an amazing journey of expanding consciousness to learn how to translate pure experience into narratives that move others. I have been told many times that the power of my writing is being able to say what others have felt but could never translate into words\, making scientific and philosophical ideas accessible by relating them to my own experience\, and grounding mystical experiences into this world. This is what I will be teaching writing wise\, in addition to sharing how I got an agent and the process we went through to find just the right publisher\, as well as insight into how to break into other outlets like newspaper and magazine writing which I have also done\, and as you know\, can lead to interest from book publishers.” \nWhile some past participants used Linda’s techniques to get more clarity on a short story or novel\, autobiographical narrative will be a significant topic in the workshop. It is the basis of what made Linda’s books unexpectedly successful\, allowing her to draw together a wide variety of philosophical\, historical\, psychological\, mystical\, and equestrian-oriented subjects. \n“As for the horses’ involvement in our retreat\,” Linda reveals\, “I will be facilitating experiences with them that open sensory awareness\, intuition\, and creativity\, coaching participants in doing some short writing projects about these experiences. Then I will be assisting people in editing\, ‘reaching between the lines’ to go deeper into drawing out the most powerful yet most elusive nonverbal experiences and translating them into words.” \nAlong the way\, Linda will share her insights into these commonly asked questions: How do you get your writing to the level that will attract readers? Why do even some of the most emotionally arresting\, well written\, strongly reviewed projects sell dismally\, making publishers increasingly skeptical of personal experience narratives? When do deeply felt personal experiences warrant the wider audience publishers are seeking? How do you turn your most significant ideas into words that captivate\, inform\, and literally change readers’ lives? \nWhat is that extra something that publishers are looking for? How do you capture of the interest of an agent who will truly champion your work? What pitfalls do writers face in the publishing world? How do you write a query letter to an agent? What does a winning book proposal cover? When is self-publishing the best option? When and why should you consider magazine/newspaper outlets\, and how do you go about tapping this market? \nAnd most importantly\, why should you write\, regardless of whether you are planning to be published? \n“The answers to these questions are way too complex for me to convey in a simple email or phone conversation with the writers who contact me\,” Linda emphasizes. “Good writing seems so clear\, so simple\, so straight forward\, so obvious\, but as most writers will tell you\, it’s hard work. Hard work with a big payoff\, that is—in personal satisfaction\, in greater awareness of yourself and the world around you\, in the very development of your soul.” \nCancellation Policy: Cancellation up to 30 days prior to the event start date results in a credit of one-half the workshop tuition. There is no tuition credit for a cancellation 30 days or less before the event start date. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Chasing the Black Horse Introductory Workshop (with Indoor Seminar)

SUMMARY:The Crossroads of Wisdom: Navigating the Mystery and Practicality of the Second Half
DESCRIPTION:A Workshop for Adults Ages 50 and Above\n\n\n\nCost: $1800 \n\n\n\nTime: 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM  \n\n\n\nWe are pleased to introduce a new workshop for individuals ages 50 and above. The Crossroads of Wisdom moves into and beyond the challenges of growing older\, offering tools to reclaim and expand into the profound potential of this rich stage of growth\, calling\, and authentic expression. \n\n\n\nThe Reality of the “Second Act” In between the unrealistic images of 104-year-olds running competitive dashes and the ageist stereotype of the frail elder\, there are rich\, unexplored\, and rarely talked about experiences of growing older. \n\n\n\nThis is a time of diverse reality: individuals searching for meaning in their “last act\,” looking back and assessing inevitable regrets or lost opportunities\, and facing their fears to forge ahead with creativity. Some of us are seeking release\, others eternal youth; some retreat while others move outward to fight for our planet. Whether you are feeling hope\, rage\, peace\, humility\, or resignation\, this workshop provides a sanctuary to explore what it means not just to grow older\, but to grow whole. \n\n\n\nThe Experience: Weaving the Tapestry In this workshop\, we will explore the practical and mystical sides of the aging process. Through experiential activities with the Eponaquest herd\, we will invite the wisdom of the horse and the wisdom of the Sage and Crone to inform\, reframe\, and enhance our relationships with our authentic selves\, our families\, and our colleagues. \n\n\n\nWe will listen for the “hooves of the great ancestral horse herd” and converse with archetypes\, contemporary thinkers\, and the divine. Together\, under the warmth of the desert sun\, we will weave the threads of our past and future into a tapestry\, becoming the heroes of our own journey. \n\n\n\nThe Facilitators: A Blend of Science and Spirit This workshop offers a unique balance of the transformational and the practical: \n\n\n\n\nLinda Kohanov: Eponaquest founder and author of five books\, including the bestseller The Tao of Equus. Linda brings her expertise in the transformational power of the horse-human bond.\n\n\n\nCarole Estabrooks: A PhD-prepared nurse scientist and expert in issues related to older adults. As a senior scientist at the University of Alberta\, Carole brings deep practical knowledge of the realities of aging and long-term care.\n\n\n\n\nTogether\, they are excited to answer the question: “What is the potential of truly living the rest of our lives with consciousness\, compassion\, discernment\, grace\, and creativity?”. \n\n\n\nThe Philosophy: The Crossroads and the Wise Elder The workshop is grounded in the concept of the “Crossroads”—those places where the unknown intersects with the known\, asking us to surrender our ego to a higher calling. \n\n\n\nWe will explore the potent archetype of the Wise Elder (represented by the Crone and the Sage). Far from a negative stereotype\, this archetype possesses a “unique combination of compassion and discernment”. As Jungian analyst Marion Woodman noted\, this elder energy represents a powerful detachment: having “been there\,” one can stand in the “straight\, flat-out\, naked truth”. \n\n\n\nRegardless of gender\, the enlightened Elder embodies a balance of nurturing feminine and discriminating masculine qualities. By developing this archetype within ourselves\, we learn to: \n\n\n\n\nBecome a “tuning fork” in our environment\, resonating with reality without the need to manipulate others.\n\n\n\nUtilize “masculine” discernment to cut away what is no longer essential or destructive\, while using “feminine” nurturing to cut with love.\n\n\n\nMentor others from a place of wisdom rather than ego.\n\n\n\n\nJoin Us at the Crossroads Life is filled with many little deaths and transitions. But few of us consider that fertile time between letting go of the old and embracing the new. Join us to turn the “rest of life” into an opportunity to reap and share the fruits of a life well lived. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:The Tao of Equus 2026: Mindful\, Authentic\, Heart-Centered Wisdom for Personal Well Being and Professional Success (Workshop is Full)
DESCRIPTION:Time: 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily \n\n\n\n\n\n“Looking honestly at how we respond in relationship provides a deeper glimpse of who we are than any mirror hanging on the wall.” — Linda Kohanov \n\n\n\nSeveral times a day\, we look in the mirror—perhaps to comb our hair\, apply make up\, adjust jewelry\, knot a tie\, or check the effect a particular suit\, dress\, shirt\, or pair of jeans has on our appearance. \n\n\n\nBut “seeing” our soul’s reflection requires a different kind of mirror. Looking honestly at how we approach and react to family\, friends\, coworkers\, supervisors and strangers—in times of peace and in times of conflict—offers a tremendous store of information for personal\, professional\, and spiritual development. \n\n\n\nAmong humans\, however\, the mirror of relationship is often tarnished by social systems that pressure people to act in-authentically in order to conform. To please others\, we may hide our feelings\, suppress our dreams\, and\, in the process\, lose sight of who we really are. \n\n\n\nHorses provide a much clearer reflection of our true nature. They have a tremendous capacity to mirror—and accept—our authentic feelings\, desires\, frustrations\, and untapped gifts. In this way\, they allow us to see more clearly who we really are and\, over time\, help us discover how to bring our unique perspectives and talents into the world. \n\n\n\nBest-selling author Linda Kohanov first experienced this life-changing phenomenon with her horse Tabula Rasa. As she wrote in a tribute to this black Arabian mare: \n\n\n\n“Horses have a tremendous capacity to highlight our hidden gifts\, our wounds\, our vulnerabilities\, and our worn-out worldly habits. And yet somehow they manage to be discerning without a hint of judgment\, communicating that at the core\, we too are beautiful\, powerful\, and wise\, capable of endless renewal. \n\n\n\n“Looking at my own reflection through the eyes of Tabula Rasa\, I came to see human dysfunctions as surface scintillations\, dramatic and sometimes irritating to be sure\, but certainly not set in stone. Whenever I managed\, through grace or sheer stubborn will\, to let go of an old pattern and embody a fresh perspective\, Rasa would mirror the transformation\, welcoming me home to an ever-deeper understanding of who I really was. And without the slightest hint of ambition\, she would continually up the ante\, stretching\, relentlessly\, my own limited ideas about my place in the world\, my calling\, my untapped potential\, and even\, as it turns out\, the nature of reality itself.” \n\n\n\nIn this four-day experiential workshop\, you will have an opportunity to experience the horse as both a mirror and a gentle guide. You will learn how to take the perspective that horses provide back to the human world. \n\n\n\nYou’ll practice how to engage in mutually respectful relationships with others\, and you’ll learn a simple yet powerful formula for engaging assertiveness without becoming aggressive. You’ll discover how to use emotions as information\, as horses do. You’ll learn techniques for enhancing physical as well as mental and emotional health. And you’ll tap into a vast storehouse of horse-inspired wisdom to enhance your personal and professional relationships. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, Linda Kohanov will also share some of the latest scientific research on how and why horses are so effective in helping humans become more balanced\, empowered\, compassionate\, and connected to deeper sources of inspiration. “When I first wrote The Tao of Equus back in 2000\,” she says\, “there simply wasn’t the science to back up the many profound and very much repeatable experiences people were having with horses. I’m pleased that my publisher commissioned me to rewrite The Tao of Equus in 2023 to include this updated information.” \n\n\n\nNo horse experience necessary. All activities are on the ground with carefully trained horses who are experienced teachers of people from all walks of life. \n\n\n\nCancellation Policy: Cancellation up to 30 days prior to the event start date results in a credit of one-half the workshop. There is no tuition credit for a cancellation 30 days or less before the event start date.uition.

SUMMARY:The Tao of Equus 2025: Mindful\, Authentic\, Heart-Centered Wisdom for Personal Well Being and Professional Success (WORKSHOP IS FULL)
DESCRIPTION:Time: 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily \n\n\n\n$1800 \n\n\n\n“Looking honestly at how we respond in relationship provides a deeper glimpse of who we are than any mirror hanging on the wall.” \n\n\n\nLinda Kohanov \n\n\n\nSeveral times a day\, we look in the mirror—perhaps to comb our hair\, apply make up\, adjust jewelry\, knot a tie\, or check the effect a particular suit\, dress\, shirt\, or pair of jeans has on our appearance. \n\n\n\nBut “seeing” our soul’s reflection requires a different kind of mirror. Looking honestly at how we approach and react to family\, friends\, coworkers\, supervisors and strangers—in times of peace and in times of conflict—offers a tremendous store of information for personal\, professional\, and spiritual development. \n\n\n\nAmong humans\, however\, the mirror of relationship is often tarnished by social systems that pressure people to act in-authentically in order to conform. To please others\, we may hide our feelings\, suppress our dreams\, and\, in the process\, lose sight of who we really are. \n\n\n\nHorses provide a much clearer reflection of our true nature. They have a tremendous capacity to mirror—and accept—our authentic feelings\, desires\, frustrations\, and untapped gifts. In this way\, they allow us to see more clearly who we really are and\, over time\, help us discover how to bring our unique perspectives and talents into the world. \n\n\n\nBest-selling author Linda Kohanov first experienced this life-changing phenomenon with her horse Tabula Rasa. As she wrote in a tribute to this black Arabian mare: \n\n\n\n“Horses have a tremendous capacity to highlight our hidden gifts\, our wounds\, our vulnerabilities\, and our worn-out worldly habits. And yet somehow they manage to be discerning without a hint of judgment\, communicating that at the core\, we too are beautiful\, powerful\, and wise\, capable of endless renewal. \n\n\n\n“Looking at my own reflection through the eyes of Tabula Rasa\, I came to see human dysfunctions as surface scintillations\, dramatic and sometimes irritating to be sure\, but certainly not set in stone. Whenever I managed\, through grace or sheer stubborn will\, to let go of an old pattern and embody a fresh perspective\, Rasa would mirror the transformation\, welcoming me home to an ever-deeper understanding of who I really was. And without the slightest hint of ambition\, she would continually up the ante\, stretching\, relentlessly\, my own limited ideas about my place in the world\, my calling\, my untapped potential\, and even\, as it turns out\, the nature of reality itself.” \n\n\n\nIn this four-day experiential workshop\, you will have an opportunity to experience the horse as both a mirror and a gentle guide. You will learn how to take the perspective that horses provide back to the human world. \n\n\n\nYou’ll practice how to engage in mutually respectful relationships with others\, and you’ll learn a simple yet powerful formula for engaging assertiveness without becoming aggressive. You’ll discover how to use emotions as information\, as horses do. You’ll learn techniques for enhancing physical as well as mental and emotional health. And you’ll tap into a vast storehouse of horse-inspired wisdom to enhance your personal and professional relationships. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, Linda Kohanov will also share some of the latest scientific research on how and why horses are so effective in helping humans become more balanced\, empowered\, compassionate\, and connected to deeper sources of inspiration. “When I first wrote The Tao of Equus back in 2000\,” she says\, “there simply wasn’t the science to back up the many profound and very much repeatable experiences people were having with horses. I’m pleased that my publisher commissioned me to rewrite The Tao of Equus in 2023 to include this updated information.” \n\n\n\nNo horse experience necessary. All activities are on the ground with carefully trained horses who are experienced teachers of people from all walks of life. \n\n\n\nCancellation Policy: Cancellation up to 30 days prior to the event start date results in a credit of one-half the workshop. There is no tuition credit for a cancellation 30 days or less before the event start date.uition.

SUMMARY:Rest of Life: Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities of Growing Older
DESCRIPTION:Time: 9:30 to 5:30 daily \n\n\n\nCost: $1800 — includes lunch and workshop materials. \n\n\n\nThis is a special workshop for women ages 60 and above. \n\n\n\nIn between the unrealistic images of 104-year-old women running competitive hundred-yard dashes and the ageist stereotype of the frail old lady\, there are rich\, unexplored and rarely talked about experiences of women getting older: Women searching for meaning in the “last act’\, women looking back and assessing inevitable regrets or lost opportunities\, women facing their fears and forging ahead with creativity\, women grieving for what might have been\, women seeking inner peace\, women rejoicing in their children and grandchildren\, women assessing their worth\, their legacy\, women fighting for our planet and women stemming the tide on species extinction. Women full of hope\, rage\, peace\, humility\, courage\, resignation. Some of us seek release\, others eternal youth\, some retreat\, some move outward. Some of us rage\, rage against the darkness of the night\, others sit in quiet\, sunlit contemplation. Some find peace\, others do not. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop we will explore and share what it means to grow older and to grow old. Through experiential activities with members of the Eponaquest herd\, intuition-expanding journeys with archetypes of renewal and transformation\, and empowering approaches to accessing vision and calling later in life\, we will shape our experience together in the desert\, inviting the wisdom of the horse and the wisdom of the crone to inform\, reframe and enhance our relationship with our authentic selves and\, consequently\, with friends\, colleagues and family. We will listen for the hooves of the great ancestral horse herd. We may converse with archetypes\, contemporary thinkers\, grandmothers\, heroes\, witches\, the divine – we may talk about the ordinary and how it is so often\, extraordinary. We will draw\, write\, reflect\, talk\, break bread\, laugh\, sing and cry. We will\, for a few short days\, weave threads into cloth and cloth into tapestry\, becoming the heroes of our own journey – under the desert sky in the warmth and healing of the sun. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will be led by Eponaquest founder Linda Kohanov\, author of five books on the transformational power of the horse-human bond\, and Carole Estabrooks\, an expert in issues related to older adults. Carole is a PhD prepared nurse scientist whose work focuses on people living in long term care homes (i.e.\, nursing homes). She is a senior scientist working full time at the University of Alberta in Alberta\, Canada. Carole holds Eponaquest certifications as an Eponaquest instructor and instructor in the Master Herder\, Power of the Herd and Connection Focused Therapy-based programs. Together with Linda\, Carole and her team are currently implementing Eponaquest principles and tools for managers in Alberta\, Canada nursing homes. \n\n\n\n“I’m so excited to be able to explore the practical and mystical sides of growing older\,” Linda says. “Many of us are at the crossroads\, faced with so many memories\, choices\, and decisions. What is the potential of truly living the rest of our lives with consciousness\, compassion\, discernment\, grace\, and creativity? As we embrace our role as seasoned\, self-actualized role models in a culture that often focuses only on the challenges of aging\, the wisdom of the crone can lead us to new dimensions of life\, love\, and service.” \n\n\n\nThe following excerpt from Linda’s book Way of the Horse\, addresses the potency of the crone archetype. \n\n\n\nThe crossroads represents those places where the unknown intersects with the known\, where unconscious\, undefined potential rises up to challenge and eventually transform a bright and comfortable state of consciousness. Here you’re asked to surrender your ego to a higher calling\, one that involves a certain amount of trust in a future you cannot fully predict or comprehend. \n\n\n\nThe crossroads is all about letting go of a situation you’re ready to evolve beyond while staying present with and supportive of those you will someday leave behind. When you’re no longer invested in the status quo\, you become detached from the day-to-day dramas your associates find so engrossing and confusing. And with this detachment comes the ability to mentor others through that unique combination of compassion and discernment associated with the Crone. \n\n\n\nThe Crone’s “detachment doesn’t mean indifference\,” insisted the Jungian analyst Marion Woodman in a 1989 Common Ground article. “It means she has been there. She has suffered\, but she can draw back from the suffering. A conscious person in the presence of an unconscious person’s pain may suffer more than the unconscious person. . . . It’s not that she’s indifferent or withdrawn. She’s right there\, totally present. She’s got nothing to lose. She can be who she is and live with the straight\, flat-out\, naked truth. Therefore the Crone acts as a tuning fork in an environment because she is so real herself. . . . She has no reason to persuade you to do anything or be anything other than who you are.” \n\n\n\nWhile the dark side of the Crone manifests as someone who uses her elder status to selfishly manipulate others\, the enlightened Crone has a well-developed balance of nurturing feminine and discriminating masculine qualities. Woodman\, herself an accomplished wise old woman\, had both male and female mentors who functioned as Crones by this definition: “I would think of her masculinity as being very discerning with no sentimentality. She would be able to cut with a well-honed sword. She would be able to see what is no longer essential to life—a relationship\, for example\, that has become destructive. She would perceive it\, see through to the heart of it\, and cut where necessary\, but cut with love.” \n\n\n\nWe’ve all been told that life is filled with many little deaths\, transitions in which something sacrificed allows something greater to emerge. But few of us consider that fertile time between letting go of the old and embracing the new\, the crossroads where knowledge gained can be passed on to the children of the future. If we call forth the Crone’s detachment in the face of our own discomfort\, old age ultimately becomes an opportunity to reap and share the fruits of a life well lived. \n\n\n\nCopyright 2023 from Way of the Horse: Equine Archetypes of Self-Discovery\, by Linda Kohanov with artwork by Kim McElroy \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now

She is a pioneer in the field of Equine-Facilitated Learning\, where gentle yet powerful activities with horses on the ground are employed to teach advanced human development skills\, including emotional and social intelligence\, creativity\, nonverbal communication\, personal empowerment and relationship skills. In 1997\, she founded an Arizona-based collective of horse professionals\, educators\, coaches\, and mental health professionals exploring the healing potential of the horse-human bond. That organization\, now called Eponaquest Worldwide\, has grown to serve clients on six continents. Her first bestselling book The Tao of Equus was selected as one of the top Spirituality books of 2001 by Amazon.com and received appreciative reviews in publications as diverse as IONS Noetic Sciences Review\, Spirituality and Health\, Horse and Rider\, and Strides. Four more titles followed\, with her books translated into French\, German\, Dutch\, and Czech. While Linda often works with horses to teach people advanced human development skills\, she also has a gift for helping people take “horse wisdom” into the home\, the workplace\, schools\, and other human environments\, offering equine-inspired insights on leadership\, nonverbal communication\, creativity\, spirituality\, authenticity\, healing\, and balance. She has a degree in music\, and brings extensive experience as a violist and respected writer on the spiritual and mystical power of sound to this workshop. \n \nSteve Roach is a leading American pioneer in the evolution of ambient/electronic music\, helping shape it into what it is today. Grammy-nominated in 2018 and 2019 consecutively\, his career spans four decades and over 200 releases. His massive catalog of landmark recordings includes Structures from Silence\, Dreamtime Return\, and Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces (parts 1-4). Drawing from a vast\, unique\, and deeply personal authenticity\, his albums are fueled by the momentum of a lifetime dedicated to the sound current. Roach is an artist operating at the pinnacle of his artform\, driven by a passion and unbroken focus enhancing the emotive\, soul-stirring depth of his music. He has facilitated workshops with Eponaquest Worldwide for 22 years\, developing a unique bridge between music and equine-facilitated experiential learning. He has shared his highly original perspectives and techniques with people from all walks of life who want to immerse themselves in an expanded experience of the power of sound.      \n \nSerena Gabriel is a visionary musician and dancer\, recording artist\, and healing arts practitioner (L.Ac.\, MAcOM). She creates sacred space with intentional sound for innovative events and has performed worldwide. For over 25 years her exploration of world instruments\, the healing arts\, Nada Yoga\, and music production has informed her unique style that spans several genres such as meditation\, medicine music\, electro-acoustic\, experimental\, and electronic. Most recently\, Serena has been collaborating with her mentor\, the esteemed ambient composer Steve Roach – releasing together a series of widely received albums including the radiant Temple of the Melting Dawn. Serena’s deep feeling\, transformative solo albums\, Inanna’s Dream and Seeing Inside were included in several lists of top albums of 2020 and 2021 respectively. The power of sound for personal growth and development is a part of Serena’s daily practice. It is her mission to share this boundless potential through all of her disciplines.
