We are celebrating the newest member of the Horse Wisdom Yoga Alumni! I am thrilled to invite you to learn more about Susan 🤍

SUSAN BLACKBURN
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

As an intuitive empath with a foundation in clinical psychology, I’ve been drawn to Horses my entire life.

I come from an ancestral line of dowsers, Horse whisperers and stewards of the natural world who hold a profound respect for the spirit of nature and the Horse. One of my earliest childhood memories is of my grandfather carrying me into the pasture when I was two years old to meet his gentle giants.

Decades later, I remain in awe of these highly attuned, generous, and majestic creatures. They are extraordinary mirrors and guides, offering profound healing through the power of partnership.

My equine wellness practice integrates clinical training with a holistic mind, body, and soul approach. I am a Registered Psychologist, yoga teacher, Reiki Level II practitioner, and a certified Horse Wisdom Yoga facilitator.

Horse Wisdom sessions for individuals and women’s circles are grounded in warmth, nonjudgment, presence and a “Horse-as-teacher” philosophy, informed by equine mentorship in Ontario, England, and British Columbia.

I am most at home in the field or forest of wisdom, observing Horses, listening to birds, opening to life, and connecting to Source.

It is with deep reverence and heartfelt inspiration that I facilitate sacred spaces with the Herd, inviting you to connect with your own truth, courage, wisdom, and joy.

I would love to hear from you!

What a great time we had today with Vince Lisi 🌻 the Horses loved being in front of the camera and it was so fun to share a glimpse into our lives together…

It was also great to have a hand with manure shovelling!

Thank you guys for your visit!🙏🏽💛

Sitting in an empty barn…

Me, myself and I.

Means that the Horses are free to roam the pastures.

Together as a Herd under the Moonlight.

Sitting in an empty barn…

Means that the Horses are healthy and strong.

No need for confinement or restricted movement.

The freedom to just be.

Sitting in an empty barn…

Is always a peaceful place for me.

Sanctuary (from The Sacred Horse Cards)

The Message: Sanctuary is taking you on the journey of being comfortable in your own skin, where you will feel deep connection by loving and accepting who you are. This Sanctuary lives within you. This sacred place lies within your deep connection to All That Is. The Sacred Horse is inviting you to come undone from that which is not of service to you now so that you may be vulnerable within who you truly are, in the peace of your inner Sanctuary.

The Gift: Sanctuary is not a place to go, but rather a place to be that is within. From this place, you experience the purest form of connection and vulnerability with Self and All That Is.

The Affirmation: I fully accept and love my Self and am comfortable in my own skin.

💫 Energy is not always reciprocated in the places we give it. This has been a theme this week within the community so I felt called to share this beautiful Card from The Sacred Horse Card deck, with beautiful artwork by the one and only 💫

Reciprocity

The Message: Reciprocity is the sacred energy of Oneness that lives in the higher realms of consciousness. You don’t need to seek the approval of others to feel it. The Sacred Horse is here to remind you that you are never alone and that your loving thoughts, words and actions are part of a Divine life force that holds you through the vibration of love and healing. What you are ready to give, you are also ready to receive and vice versa. It is time to fully experience the Oneness of Reciprocity’s embrace.

The Gift: Your loving kindness is received by the Divine with honor and appreciation, and circles back to you in Reciprocity’s healing embrace.

The Affirmation: I am One with All That Is and am lovingly held in the embrace of Reciprocity!
