Learn to “organize” your intuitive awareness as an invitation to connect with your horse.
You’ll move perpetually toward a feeling of “us”.
The insights, perspectives and tools offered in this one-day event guide you to a new level of clarity with the empathic sense, intuition, emotions, and communication.
Explore yourself through an “interspecies perspective.”
… In other words, what’s it like to be the person your animals think you are?

Why Listen Like A Horse?
When your thoughts get caught up in the “emotional weather” of others, the horses feel it. Thinking is necessary in relationships - are you aware of what your thoughts are creating?
Maybe you avoid certain situations to avoid empathic overwhelm.
You could be aware that you’re suppressing what you actually feel, avoiding what you sense, in order to create some sort of relief or sense of control.
The way your life unfolds feels smaller than you know it could be.
You know you have intuitive gifts and you may feel frustrated that you’re not sure how to integrate your intuition into your world.
Maybe you avoid having the conversations you really want to have because you’re afraid of what others will think.
Maybe you feel a fear of the unknown, and the fear keeps you from living with clarity.
Are you in conflict with yourself? Feeling unclear about your own experiences, or overwhelmed by all that you feel?
Simply put…
Feel begins with presence
Horses are listening to your presence before you ever move an arm, let out a breath or use your voice. Awareness of your own mind helps you be more clear about what you are bringing to your horse.
When the mind is acknowledged, its questions answered, it tends to quiet itself right down. In this event, we explore how to walk lovingly in a familiar world, connecting with your innate energetic gifts and creating life from the heart.
This one-day event will explore perspectives to help the mind find ease with emotions and feelings - life’s subtle and often scary and gifts.
Presence is a feeling.
You are nature, organized as a human. Let your mind work in service to your heart, and experience your uniqueness and innate harmony. Play in a community of like-hearted people who are curious to know their own heart. The insights, perspectives and tools offered in this one-day event guide you to a new level of clarity and generate a way of being that restores your trust in your own senses. Peer-to-peer learning helps clarify the sensory information you are aware of, and expand your awareness to welcome more richness into your life.
Emotions, Feelings & Judgment
Do you remember how it feels to be at home in your own skin?
How does it feel to live with clarity rather than protection?
What opportunities present in life when you are not in conflict with yourself?
How do relationships form and grow when you live with an open heart?
Discover perspectives and tools that empower you to navigate empathic information and create graceful relationships.
The insights, perspectives and tools offered in this one-day event guide you to a new level of clarity, generating a way of being that restores your trust in your own senses, clarifies the sensory information you are aware of, and expands your awareness to welcome more richness into your life.
Blending aspects of mindfulness, animal communication, listening, sensing, movement and simply being, you will discover how your presence creates a sense of safety in your own body, and how it simultaneously offers a sense of safety for others around you.

You’ll be offered very simple, very pragmatic tools to prioritize your awareness for intuitive information. You’ll have opportunities to build confidence in your discernment. You’ll get experience among people and horses to feel yourself communicating from the inside out and clarify your awareness of which energies/information are yours to address and/or transform.
If you have already attended another of Kerri’s events, you will find this event to be affirming and expansive. You will hear some of what you’ve already learned, but you will be able to use the information in new ways. Your creativity and confidence will only grow.
Participants are welcome to include their own horse in the event. Some will ride, others will just be on the ground.
Whether or not you have a horse with you, you will benefit from observation and discussion around the guidance for those who do have horses with them.
If you’d like to bring your horse, please email Anita to make arrangements. Horse spaces will be first-come-first-serve.
Indoors: Introduction, Perspectives (Simplicity & Communication), Learn tools for connection
Outdoors: Use your new awareness to be with horses and explore your senses as you do familiar things in a new way
*This is different than a traditional “horsemanship” clinic. We will be with the horses after the opening 2-hour discussion, and each participant will receive 1-1 guidance from Kerri. There may be more than one rider/handler with their horse in the arena at a time. In the morning, we will discuss the best way to flow through the day based on who wants to be in the saddle and who does not. The focus will be on the HUMAN awareness as we play with tools to generate clarity and presence in our own communication.
These tools, perspectives and experiences help you navigate emotions, your own emotions and those of others, so you can feel clarity in your relationships (with horses and people!). You come to know a sense of confidence in your communication, not because you know all the answers, but because you know how to use the information you have.
Welcoming a transformation into your genuine expression means you’ll get to use your awareness in new ways among familiar things. Shifting awareness can happen slowly or in big swooshes. It’s impossible to compare “big” movements with “small” movements - trying to think about it in linear terms just limits your experience and slows down the whole works! We’ll play together to generate the space for you to move yourself from your heart toward your heart.
The more willing you are to bring your real life to the conversation, the more movement and experience you give yourself through our conversations.
One of the seminal questions I’ve asked is “how can I be a human with humans in the same absence of judgment that horses are with humans?”
This event is an opportunity to actually experience yourself being among humans without judgment.
We will use our awareness to address deep conflicts and defenses in ways that invite humor, kindness, ease and genuine healing.
Intensity and gentleness can happen at the same time.
You don’t have to scare yourself into wholeness!
**Professionals and non-professionals alike are welcome!**
A future of harmony is in our own self-awareness.
We are at a point of evolution in how we relate to enlightenment, self-mastery, personal growth, healing, clarity and loving relationships. For thousands of years, the teaching has been about realizing that You are so much more than your body. Today, millions of people are aware that we are energy expressing through a body.
Our evolution accelerates when we begin to welcome all that we are into and through the body, starting right where our lives have us, right now.
Let self-awareness be the foundation on which you stand, the ground from which you apply your tools, and those you work with will begin to rise to meet you at the highest level of awareness you are willing to engage. The only barriers to flourishing relationships from this standpoint are the expectations and judgments you carry with you. To be without judgment is to be closer to how animals live in every moment. It is possible for humans to know and sense the absence of judgment in themselves, although it's admittedly unfamiliar. Let's play with it, and start to get some experience. A little experience can go a very long way.
The tools I share are a distillation of knowledge, awareness, and application through my total surrender to my life’s journey. I’ve had the support of horses and many people on this journey to embody my divine heart. Assisting facilitators and participants alike to greater sensory awareness benefits the whole of life in ripples beyond imagination. Each participant’s self-awareness and self-empowerment makes them infinitely more available to integrate, embody and express their divine, natural state of being.
With nothing to prove, all are free to share their gifts for the benefit of the whole. Horses demonstrate this way of being, and humanity is finding perpetually more astute and creative ways to notice and adapt our awareness in kind. Horses have never had the opportunity to forget who they are. This is one of the greatest differences between animal consciousness and human consciousness.
“I feel fortunate to have attended the class with Kerri. She is a fantastic teacher and I learned a great deal that I can apply to all aspects of my life. I have been on the spiritual path for awhile and have listened to many great speakers but what she had to offer was truly unique and life changing. I really enjoyed her book as well. At the end of the last class all of those present sincerely shared with Kerri about how amazing and impactful the class was for them.”

“If you are trying to find answers to problems or situations, she will guide you through any blockages, allowing you to discover what is right for YOU not those around you, but you. In short, Kerri, gives you the opportunity to reconnect to your truth, to your heart; to feel and to believe. Kerri is truly special. I hope you have fun and enjoy working with her.”
-N.C., Bruton, UK
“Kerri’s presence made me feel very much alive, and I knew she completely understood me without having even heard anything about my story. This made for a very safe environment. And playing with the tools Kerri presented to us, gave me the opportunity to look at some issues in my life from a different angle, giving me valuable insights and ways to take action towards the true me.”
– K.O., Encinitas, CA
Who Is Kerri Lake?
Kerri was aware of her awareness in infancy. Knowing the absence of doubt, and guided by her relationships with animals and nature, she lives deliberately, assisting humanity see and choose kindness and harmony in relationships.
Her primary vehicle for awakening and personal evolution in this life has been relationships - with family, with animals, with partners, with Creator Consciousness and within herself.
She has experienced several near-death and expanded-consciousness events, each of which reminded her of the dynamic power of living from the heart, for the heart. Without dependence on a modality or system, Kerri has blazed a new trail on the road to freedom from limitations and conditioning. On this trail, all species are welcome and integrate through frequencies of communication.
Kerri is masterful in many ways. Her early awareness included a natural ability to communicate with animals and all of life in subtle realms of consciousness, through energy and presence.
With wisdom, guidance and communication from many teachers (human and non-human), she assists to help you recognize your capacity to experience connection and communication through presence, through the heart.
