Had an adventure of a lifetime, received a certification, and a sisterhood bond that is priceless! Thank you

I’ve taken classes of many different kinds in my 59 years, I am a LMT, NMT bodyworker, alt health care - I have been trained in many modalities And kindred spirits is the only one who goes from easy to hard and bounces around the diff poses- every other class starts with the easy and leads you up to the hard-it was the most disorganized class I have ever taken and the anatomy teacher had her anatomy wrong on two different points - I am a massage therapist other thing a I know muscles well , The accommodations were a bit of a problem I that they had mold issues - many pillows were moldy under the pillowcases - and students were developing sore throats through two programs I went through within 2-3 days sleeping on moldy pillows - sofas in living room many of the girls that sat their for more than 10-15 min were covered I. But bites - their is also major wood eating creature eating their furniture and porch poles,, I the hostel up the street was cleaner- many power outages and no gens or backup - coon raids in the kitchen and by the third day nats will be your kitchen pal cause they only dump the compost 1x a week It’s nasty and poorly organized

The accommodations were moldy- if you go take your own everything’s, you get 1 towel a week , had to ask for things like TP… Critter between my ceiling and roof , ants in bed Termites in furniture- horses were great - but things taught in this class are dangerous not because of what they are doing but because how they are teaching it- I watched two girlls suffer from being stepped on - requiring a visit for medical visit and two girls were bitten - this could have been avoided with a 30-60 min class were educated of basic horse awareness that is not partially delusional thinking. This place is potentially dangerous- the things she teaches in the wrong arena with the wrong horse could get you seriously hurt - more awareness of basic equine anatomy and how the horse operates could prevent a lot of future hurt stepped on people. Not pushing their horses when they are nervous is another thing that makes this place unsafe. I know horses - they are 1000 creatures - if you don’t respect them and move accordingly with them be aware and maybe make real boots instead of flip flops a requirement - much could be improved - buyer beware : AYOR - it’s really to bad because the yoga aspects on horseback are beautiful. But with horses and all animals - what looks like play is often also a way to check and see how far they can push and can turn from friendly to hurtful in a hurry if you don’t know how to respond…….i could go on and on so I will simply repeat AYOR- At your own risk

This was an amazing experience, building new awareness through yoga and a better understanding of horses. I’ve learned new practices and honestly built a new perspective for my life in a very short time. I only wish I had stayed longer! The people and the food were amazing and it was a true retreat filled with healing and special memories. Thank you!

I felt that Kindred Spirit was a little drop of heaven. The gentle nature and behaviour of the horses was a testament to how Terry interacts and teaches with them. Doing camel pose on horseback was an incredible experience and standing up made me feel so free! I loved how nature was part of the accommodation too with big butterflies and hummingbirds regular visitors to the living room and Toby the cat was always on hand for a cuddle. Yoga Nidra at the Shambala in the dusky evening was also lovely & very meditative. Thank you so much Terry for a deeply transformative experience, I'm still processing it now I'm back in the UK! x
