The article describes a unique healing workshop named 'Horses and Healing: Finding Strength After The Fires', held at a ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains. Attendees, primarily those who lost their homes in January's wildfires, participate in a sound bath led by Alison Ungaro alongside horses overseen by ranch owner Kiki Ebsen. The atmosphere blends soothing sounds with the unpredictable antics of horses, creating a therapeutic environment where participants find emotional release and connection. Testimonials highlight the profound impact of the horse community in aiding recovery from trauma experienced during the fires.
"Everything here is done with heart and soul," one of the participants, who has been to several of these sound baths, later tells me, tears in her eyes, "nothing has been as healing for me as the horse community here."
The guests and I are seated on blanketed chairs, in-the-round inside a horse paddock. It's part of a semi-regular session that the ranch's owner Kiki Ebsen runs free of charge exclusively to those who lost their homes in the January fires.
This day-long workshop located on a ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains aims to support those who have experienced devastating loss through the unique bond with horses.
Amidst the sounds of Tibetan bowls and a flowing brook—revealed to be a horse—participants engage in a sound bath that blends healing with the presence of horses.
