I’ll meet you there.” (Rumi)
The Project

What we will "do"
In this project we devote ourselves to 6 stallions of different ages, which live freely together in Portugal on an area of about 80 hectares.
Another 12 stallions were part of a project there that has set itself the task of socializing stallions of all ages with one another. For private reasons, 6 of these stallions are now being taken out of this project.
The owner of the 6 stallions is my partner Jose Canero. Epona, who made it possible with her know-how to keep stallions in this way and who is the owner of the other 12 Stallions, is willing to help us in the transitional phase of taking out the 6 horses of the big Herd. Her knowledge of how stallions behave towards one another is outstanding.
In a first step, the 6 animals are socialized with each other under the guidance of Epona. So that 18 stallions can live peacefully together, they form smaller subgroups. In order to be able separate the 6 animals from the others, they have to be regrouped, since some of them have formed their groups with the horses of hers.
Currently the regrouping is taking place and we will see if we can socialize all 6 together. The animals are currently staying in the same place, but in a section of the finca that is separated from the other horses.

Our Work

The Focus of our Work
Eventually, one day you’ll have gotten enough out of the way within yourself to have an experience (of whatever kind) giving you the certainty that you’re more than just a physical body.
This experience will be a gift. You can neither “work for” nor “learn” nor “ask” for it. Because basically you already have it within you. It is an ability that is as familiar to you as the ability to breathe. However, in this time that we are living in, most people are denied access to this natural ability. Because we have forgotten how to look inwards.
But there is something we can do: We can decide to turn our gaze back inwards and start to “clean up” ourselves. To become of what we feel, with what we are present without being aware of it. We can bring light where there is darkness within us.
We can do all this to clear the way for our conscious CONNECTION to a source that will make us independent from the outside. It is up to each individual to name this source.
And we will “live” all that has just been described together with the horses and some wonderful people in these weeks. Each in their own unique way. The horses help us to look more honestly and deeply into ourselves through their mirror. They only react to what our bodies speak to them and are not misled by the spoken word. Out of deep pain, most people don’t really want to show themselves. Because they are afraid of the judgment of others because they still judge themselves.
These weeks will be dedicated to creating a space in which you (and we, the coaches) can relax and show yourself with everything that IS in you. Only in this way can we solve what needs to be solved in order to clear the way for something bigger.
“The universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.”

The Team

Larissa Simon
(Founder Horse Inspiration Academy)
As a horse whisperer and mentor for communication and transformation, I help horses and people to experience one another which is carried by love, clarity and responsibility.
The Horse Inspiration Academy, which I founded, has set itself the task of understanding spirituality in the mirror of living horses as a tangible, urban, modern and individual reality and thus integrating it into everyday life. The best spiritual school is (everyday) life itself.

Désirée Dior - Metsa Yaka
(Visiones Asociación)
Désirée Dior – Metsa Yaka was born in Germany in 1985. From a very young age, she was drawn to the mysticisms of the universe and began searching for truth.
She found her first, everlasting “home” and first answers sho found at the horses. Since early childhood she felt fascinated and attracted by their energy. In the presence of the horses she was in the here and now and could simply BE.
She found her other “home” and deep connection in working with Ayahuasca and other master plants.
On her path as a medicine woman, she went through an intense out-of-body initiation process and embarked on a profound healing journey out of depression and anxiety.
In 2017 her first own horse Levante came into her life and she began to work and learn with her friend, transformation teacher and horse whisperer Larissa Simon.
The energies of the plants flow into her work, elements from body and integration work. With her strong intuition she holds a transformative space of presence, clarity & love for humans and animals.
She lives in Andalusia with her 3 great teachers horses, a lovely hind, her 2 dogs and 12 cats.

Tanja Übelbacher
Cranio-Sacrale Practitioner
Even as a child, I was fascinated by the grace and strength of horses. When I was near them, I felt a sense of freedom that stopped all my worries, expectations and fears for the future for a moment. Because I was in the here and now – present with the horse.
I spent a lot of time with the horses and had the chance to work with different characters. When I was 17 I met my Warmblood mare Principessa and then Larissa. Through this merger I was able to experience an even finer, more authentic communication with the horses.
Furthermore, I became aware of my own emotional body and began to deal with energies, emotions, femininity and embodiment. I learned from people, animals, books and from many of my own processes.
I worked as a kindergarten teacher for a few years until I realized that my life was taking me in a different direction. In 2016 I completed the training in craniosacral energy balancing and acupuncture meridian massage. I work with people and animals, connect with their energy field and get the system flowing.
