What is the nature of your wisdom?
Each and every one of us humans has a purpose to our lives that is unique to the individual. No one else was born when and where you were into the exact circumstances; family, culture, religion, community, society and educational institutions. Because of the very nature of the human maturation process - infancy into adulthood - it is necessary for us to figure out how to survive as we make the age appropriate transitions from immediate family to cultural beliefs and practices to community and beyond.
As you made your way along this journey you accumulated beliefs and behaviors that were necessary for your survival, many of which were most likely in contrast to who you really are at your purest or most authentic level of being. It may be as simple as a child with a great deal of creative energy who must learn to sit quietly in a classroom or as complex as learning to survive in extreme dysfunction and abuse.
No matter the circumstances, beliefs and behaviors are formed that function as a way for us to survive into adulthood. But once we are adults, free of those imposed environments, those beliefs and behaviors, whose sole purpose is survival, begin to hinder our ability to move forward in life. They hinder our ability to thrive and we end up stuck in our survival mentality -- Excerpt from Carol Roush's work in progress, Nature of Wisdom.
The Nature of Wisdom programs are ingeniously designed to help you unravel survival beliefs and behaviors that are hindering you. They teach you how to begin to harvest all that you have learned from your experiences and reconnect with the authentic self, who you were born to be. Through this process you will discover the true nature of your personal wisdom which is the foundation upon which your life's purpose can then reveal itself to you.
Wisdom is cultivated through personal experience.

Horses are the voice of nature. Interactions with horses in the natural environment offer opportunities for insight and healing. No previous horse experience is necessary to learn from these gentle teachers.
Horses can teach us the art of being present.
Horses live in herds that are similar to human families. Their individual survival as well as the whole herd's survival is based on their relationship within the group. Clear communication is the cornerstone of their relationships. Each horse has unique nature or gift to share.
Horses live in the here and now.
In order survive as animals that are preyed upon, they are keenly aware of the most subtle changes in other horses, people and the environment. Therefore, they have an exquisite ability to teach and mirror to us the importance of being present and congruent in each moment .
