You hopefully know of Gloria’s outstanding work in the outer world, but if you don’t know about her awe inspiring inner world work…this book is the way. It’s no surprise right that someone who could behave with such dignity, strength & grace did her work to honor & care for her own whole self. There really is no other way. And like a good human, she shared. In the pages of this book she shares how she has found her way. As someone who works in mental/whole being health I cannot recommend this book enough as a guide for truly living an honorable human life in this world with other humans. I cannot think of a topic she doesn’t dive into & then wisely guide you through to finding you. From healing the inner child with kindness & play…to the necessity of living through the body & all our senses in your unique way…to the essential value of art to be alive…to the ultimate goal of romance being to fall in love with yourself….It’s a best friend by the bed side book from a gorgeous earth guide we lost today. Get yours you deserve it. Thank you Gloria for everything - which is a hell of a lot - for being you most of all & for writing!!! So we can keep learning to love & live our lives well. Im personally eternally grateful. What a life well lived!! Brava Brava Brava!!! @gloriasteinem by @larapluttetherapy

Imagine
You’re standing in a paddock and a wave of fresh grief over takes you
You don’t want it
So you jump and stomp like the inner child you are right now
And yell, “I don’t wanna!”
You find yourself pumping your fists, flinging your arms, kicking your feet
Fighting and feeling the grief at the same time
A full grief tantrum
The tears come
Then a white horse with freckles approaches
Locks eyes with you
Instinctually you step back
He circles and sniffs the soft ground where you just stood
In the moment he drops you know he will
He lays loosely onto the earth swaying back and forth on his back rolling and releasing
Then he stands up and your eyes see each other again
“Are you telling me…I can just let go?”
You ask him
Immediately he drops again trusting the earth below
“I’m coming!” You tell him and quickly let go dropping on your back letting the dust rub against and cleanse you
Then you stand
He stands too
You both shake off what’s left of what you don’t need anymore
“It’s the gripping of the grief.”
You tell him what he already knows
“This is what has to go.”
You feel your hands flat now against your thighs and realize they’ve been shut tight for days
Maybe for years
You feel light and space where your heart lives
You meet the soft gaze of the white horse
You know there’s ever work to live and love through grief
But the gripping needn’t be
Because you’re strong enough
He stands now holding you in his steady gaze
Standing in his dignity
Showing you your own
This is no fever dream
This is shared soul time with horses
And this is my soul felt thank you to Sweet Abe @equinetherapymalibu #equinetherapy #horses #horsetherapy #ecotherapy #grief #griefwithhorses #letgo by @larapluttetherapy

My first therapists were trees. After I was held up at gun point at 25, all I knew to do, all I wanted to do & all I could afford to do to help myself was to get to the trees. The trees wouldn’t need me to explain anything. They wouldn’t mind if I never stopped crying. They let me lean on them. Lean & lean & lean. They let me stare at them for hours without any discomfort whatsoever. So comfortable they were with our connection. They literally cleared the air so I could breathe with greater ease. They showed me how to be rooted so I could dance & reach & touch light. They told me one day I would feel I was strong just like them. They let me stay for as long as I wished, never telling me it was time to leave. They still do all this for me today. And for you too. For you too. #trees #ecotherapy #treetherapy #getoutside #forresttherapy #forrestbathing #intothewoods #larapluttetherapy by @larapluttetherapy

At 25 I was a victim of gun violence. Recently as trauma does, memories of this time came back round. But this time Po was by my side. This is Po. He is a therapy horse on Vashon Island. He embodies the Po spirit, which in Chinese medicine governs the physical soul, the earthly yin energy…the soul of the body. It also embodies grief. As I stood with Po & let his massive heart open mine…I felt safe & present enough to share about current challenges & joys. Just when I thought I was ready to move on…I heard Po say, “I don’t think we’re done here.” He nudged me with his nose, showing me with his strength & wisdom that I am now strong & wise enough for greater healing. Then the memory of being held up & chased down at gun point came forward. At 57, I have something more to offer my 25 year old self. I have a new level of growth & freedom in the spiral of my heart & soul. Po received it all, right by my side. Then I heard him say, “I am proud of you.” I told him, “me too.” This is the healing space horses will hold & stand in with you. I will meet you there too. Thank you to Po & Tori @_carboncowgirl_ for guiding me further along my spiral of life.#equinetherapy #equineassistedtherapy #equineassistedlearning #horsetherapy #spiraloflife #healingwithhorses #traumahealing #larapluttetherapy taken in Vashon Island, Wa by @larapluttetherapy

If anyone has ever told you, “You’re too sensitive!” The truth that they didn’t add was, “too sensitive for me.” I’ve never got this message from a horse. Horses live sensitivity as a sharp essential skill not only to survive as prey, but to thrive! The horses show & tell me it’s my sacred work to see, feel & sharpen my sensitivity into the truly mystical tool of perception it was always meant to be. With the horses, I learn to alchemize sensitivity shame into sensitivity skill. And it feels pretty kick ass…if you’d like to come see for yourself just lmk. #equineassistedtherapy #equineassistedlearning #sensitivity #horses #sensitivekind #skills #equinetherapy #horsesplease #larapluttetherapy by @larapluttetherapy

We’ll start by grounding in with a sacred tea ceremony, attuning to our hearts by connecting with the herd at Shakti Ranch, getting into our bodies by doing self massage & fascia release, and finally we’ll release endorphins by giggling with the baby goats!

What beautiful thing to gift yourself or someone you love on this Mother’s Day weekend! 💐

Women’s Workshop: Celebrating the Feminine
May 9th 2-4pm

Join us for a magical afternoon here at Shakti Ranch in Malibu where you will begin the workshop with a Cha Do Tea Ceremony; a mindful practice where tea is prepared and shared slowly, in silence, with calm attention and respect. It creates a peaceful space for reflection, connection, and appreciation of the present moment.

✨☕️✨

Following the tea ceremony you will connect with the Shakti Ranch therapy horses. Equine Assisted Learning facilitators will guide the Herd Wisdom session where you will partner with the horses through hands-on and energetic connection. During this somatic exercise you will anchor your discoveries into a tangible Integration Stone to carry the peace of the horses & ranch back into your daily life.

⭐️🐴⭐️

Fascia Release massage facilitator, Aksana, will be offering mini-sessions for those interested in exploring the connection between body tension and emotions…creating the opportunity to unwind and reconnect within.

✨🦋✨

This magical afternoon will close with guided play & pictures with the Shakti Ranch baby goats! 🐐 🤩 taken in Malibu, California by @larapluttetherapy
