“Mustang filly”
Who is this wild young horse going to grow into? Will she be able to remain free, only belonging to herself, her wild family, and the land she was born into?

Wnat are the mustangs here to teach us??

A while back, I had the immense privilege to travel to the US and meet a band of wild horses in their natural environment. A big dream of mine came true, as I was not only able to photograph them, but also guided to observe their truly inspiring dynamics.

I believe the endangered mustangs are here to remind us of connection, loyalty, devotion, and true bonding.
Do you know that stallions (aka heads of horsey families) can perish out of sadness, if their organically (and very meticulously) formed families get disparsed by human action, not to say, ambition??

In the first frame, you can admire the proud stallion watching the horizon, making sure everything is safe for his family. He stands proud, yet alert. Present. A true guardian.

After having led his band to the water hole, and only after making sure everyone was safe and settled, this powerful horse allowed himself a moment to relax, embraced by the elements.

There is so much we can learn from horses, especially when they live free, as they should. May we support them to be who they truly are, as they are here to help us find our most authentic expression! ❤️

“Escape to Tranquility”
A Countryside Retreat
June 13-15, 2025

I’m excited to invite you to my favourite countryside oasis, just 1.5 hours outside of Toronto, for a rejuvenating retreat in June. This will be a soul-restoring gathering, filled with meaningful moments, deep connections and pure presence with Mother Nature.

For those who’ve joined us before, we can’t wait to welcome you back with open arms! And if you’d like to share this journey with a friend (or two), they are more than welcome to join us as well.

If you’re ready to step into this space of healing and transformation, please reach out to me for more details. I look forward to sharing this beautiful experience with you!

Yours,
Manuela and the horses 🐴
