What a powerful experience! Such a gift to spend time with these amazing horses and be guided by Gita. I was really moved by the opportunity to learn to listen and be present in a new way. It was so beautiful to tune into the energy that Zip was reflecting and become more aware of my own energy in a new way as well. Horses can teach us so much! I felt deeply held, cared for and guided by both Gita and Zip and I look forward to another sessions.

I really look forward to my sessions every week. After each day in the round pen, I feel like another layer I have built around my true self starts to shed and reveal the strength and light I have had all along.
Thank you to Gita Matlock, and all my beautiful brothers and sisters at #AnandaVillage for sharing your serene oasis with my family this weekend! Brandon and Dylan LOVED their Tai Chi instruction while Brandi and I needed the yoga! We’re fully recharged for what’s ahead this week! Wishing EVERYONE a beautiful week and sending out LOVE!
