SongLines Equine Bodywork
Philosophy, Mission, and values
SongLines Philosophy
Songlines are connections across place and time, drawing on astronomy and geography, creation stories and knowledge systems. They are deeply rooted in the land, and are a complex way of mapping the essential relationships between people and place. These maps offer ways of understanding and guidance for living that reflect the holistic, reciprocal, relational nature of all things. It is from this holistic, reciprocal, relational, and connected place that I strive to meet horses and provide healing.
