Season’s Greetings and here comes a New Year

December 18, 2020 By Kathy Pike 17 Comments

2020 is beginning to wind down and bring to an end this long challenging year. As Father Winter is upon us for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, we bundle up to get exercise by walking in the cold air, slug through three feet of snow to feed horses and fasten the outdoor Christmas lights to survive the winds from the north. In the Southern hemispheres, the lands may be bursting with summer colors and the days warming.  A completely different picture. The cycles of nature and life are never-ending, ever-changing, and always renewing.

This last year has not been renewing for many. Relatives have passed over, others have suffered for months, our health care people are overworked, and almost everyone who has heeded our government agencies’ requests has struggled with separation or isolation.

We are an adaptable species. We are being pushed to our edges during this time. What was once in the shadows has come forth to be purged. What we kept at bay can no longer be ignored. It does not matter if it is a secret you have kept from your partner, a health condition you have been ignoring, or the habits that keep you away from who you truly are. We are peeling away what is old, what we have outgrown, and what no longer works.

In this process, we have the opportunity to embrace a more profound sense of truth and authenticity that we may never have recognized before. With disease and death knocking at the door, we have been forced to look at what is meaningful. What matters.

As we move through the Holiday Season, I know that you will find creative ways to get beyond the limitations imposed on you and to see what is truly right at this moment. I trust you will find all of the things that you can find to be a blessing, ways to have gratitude and embrace love, even in the moments of grief and despair.

As each new day breaks open, so do new opportunities. Opportunities to step more deeply into the relationships or life what warms our heart. Options to sever others through the light we can offer. And opportunities to find new ways to sustain our sense of connection and flow with life.

I share with you the video above so that you can have a moment to experience a cold winter’s day and my herd sorting themselves out. Eventually, you will see they come back to peace and harmony.

And that is what I wish for you this Holiday Season and into the New Year – Peace and Harmony!

Emergence: Find Your True Self in the Herd

Honoring and maintaining what is important to you can be difficult with the influence of others and society. Knowing that there is more our inner spirit wants to express creates an opportunity for exploration and growth. Are you ready for a completely new part of yourself to emerge into the world?

There is no better teacher for living authentically and true to oneself than a horse. Working with horses provides you the potential for rebirth, to remove all masks that hide who you truly are.

May 12-14, 2023, and June 9-11, 2023
Meets: 10:00 am to 5:00 each day with a one-hour lunch.

Group Intensive with Kathy

Once a month, Kathy holds a Zoom live call to help with increased energy and vitality, mental clarity, healthy, and a deeper sense of joy and love. During the call, you will experience a guided visualization and other tools to clear and reset your energy, release ancestorial patterns, and create a stronger connection to the infinite energy of the universe. Additionally, Kathy will work with several individuals to clear energetic patterns currently limiting their ability to create the life they want. The calls are designed to help you build a deeper relationship with yourself and your truth and bring clarity and strength to your path. Attendees will receive an audio file of the class recording.

January’s Topic: Gaining Clarity and Keeping Your Joy!
Date/Time:  Saturday, January 15, 2023
Time: 1:00 Mountain, 3:00 Eastern, Noon Pacific, for approximately 2 hours
Investment: I’m offering this month’s Group Intensive on a sliding scale so everyone interested can attend – without feeling any financial stress. You can invest $27, $47, or $67 – whatever works best for you. When you register at $67 VIP level, you receive 1:1 time with Kathy during the call. Regardless of what level you choose to invest at, you’ll receive an audio file of the class recording afterward so you can re-listen throughout the month.

      Thank you Jill! Yes, he is aging with grace and has been so generous in how he has shown up for all of the filming for the online programs– it was a gift for me to be the “client” and receive from him like so many others have. And, he is spoiled now– bossy me around all the time! Happy Holidays- hugs to all!

    Dear Kathy,

    Thank you for taking the time to film your beautiful herd for us! Moon, Corazon, and please remind me the names of the two other ones – they are so very beautiful!!! I love to see them play and interact and be happy and well. It reminds me of what life was like before this past year and that we should never take anything for granted. And as you say life is always ever so changing and we must learn to adapt and become resilient in all life’s circumstances. The horses have thought me this exactly. They have showed me to be at peace no matter what is happening. My connection to the light has grown and my heart is happy. I wish you and the herd a very peaceful and restful time during this holiday season. Cheers! Much Love! Brigitte xo

      Hello Brigitte– so lovely to get your message. Moon is the buckskin, Cor the little black man, Diva is the flashy palomino, and Esperanza (Hope) is the big grey mare who is a super bossy pants. I hope you are well– so many years ago . . . . time passes fast. I am glad the horses continue to bring you into peace. Kathy
