2018- Susan Smith Workshops!
The following classes are designed for horse owners and professionals, body workers and equine enthusiasts who would like to learn how to do some effective bodywork on their horse. The courses will include building blocks of equine health and energetic relationship with the horse. The work relies on the horse’s innate ability to self-correct and can have profoundly sustainable results. Emphasis in class will be on developing feel and timing in contact. Neither class requires a pre-requisite.
Please: No Haul-ins. No Audits. No pets. Each class Limited to 10 participants.
***In addition to the two equine workshops described below, Susan is offering human Ortho-Bionomy sessions (treatment, feedback, consults), mobile horse EBB sessions (we drive to your barn), a study group (6/21/18 5-8pm "Common Threads in Ortho-Bionomy" open to all students) and a speaking engagement to a equine networking group. Human and Horse Sessions are available 6/20 - 21/2018.

Equine Body Balance Workshop
Navigating Equine Body Points Two-Day Intensive Study (No pre-requisites) June 23-24, 2018 Sat-Sun, 9am-4:30pm (Lunch on your own) At Natural Whisperings / DeRungs Farm in Canby, OR $375 early bird special if paid by 6/2/18 $400 rate after 6/2/18, paid no later than 6/16/18 Bundled with Liberty Foundations - All 3 days for: $525 early bird bundle special if paid by 6/2/18 (Save $75) $550 rate after 6/2/18, paid no later than 6/16/18 (Save $50) Description: In the wild, horses possess an inner knowledge of how to balance themselves and what foods to eat. Their social network also provides some healing and protection. Horses will identify painful points in each other. We can identify these points for the domestic horse, treating her/him holistically and uniquely. Class is focused on Equine Body Balance point work -- adapted for the equine -- the neurolymphatic points located just under the skin, as identified and named by Dr. Frank Chapman, an osteopath. Studying the Chapman's Points offers a holistic approach to refine students' palpation skills, by identifying where there may be a point that needs attention. The work helps:
Our question always is: How can we bring greater comfort, mobility and efficiency to the horse with bodywork? Learn assessment through observation, further your palpation skills, encourage movement from within to without. Learn to prioritize when bodywork, follow-up and other intervention is needed on an individual basis. Plus, take home sustainable Equine Body Balance techniques to use with horse!

Liberty Foundations Workshop
Equine Liberty From the Heart One-Day Workshop (No pre-requisites) June 22, 2018 Friday 9am-4:30pm (Lunch on your own) At Natural Whisperings/DeRungs Farm in Canby, OR $175 early bird special if paid by 6/2/18 $200 rate after 6/2/18, paid no later than 6/16/18 Bundled with EBB Workshop - All 3 days for: $525 early bird bundle special if paid by 6/2/18 (Save $75) $550 rate after 6/2/18, paid no later than 6/16/18 (Save $50) Description: Liberty Foundations offer a genuine avenue to a heart-felt relationship with your horse. In a recent study conducted by the HeartMath Institute, Ellen Kay Gehrke, Ph.D. found that horses would reflect the heart rate variability of humans, so that tells us that how we feel in ourselves is really important to doing any type of work with horses. By working with our dimensions and senses we can deepen connection with the horse. Our connection resides in our own bodies. At the same time we work with herd behavior and what the horse wants you to know, furthering understanding and our relationships with our horses -- all done without tack. Join us for this informative and fun one-day class learning the six basic Foundations of Liberty and how to apply them to various situations. 
We will be working with Natural Whisperings’ herd of seven very different horses who enjoy the Liberty Foundations work (as you can see with below). Class size is limited so sign up today!
