Feedback from participants in previous editions:
“Weronika's work with the herd has been valuable for me. They helped me understand something simple, yet profound: you can communicate with horses—you can simply ask them. Through her guidance as a healer, I've experienced the interconnectedness of all living beings.” - Jennifer, OSTA
