Being Herd Podcast

In this episode of The Being Herd Podcast we welcome the wonderful Cassandra Ogier. Founder of The Reflective Horse® and a pioneer in equine-guided experiences with wild and domestic free-roaming horses, Cassandra is the creator of Equine Guided Empowerment®, Somatic Reprogramming®, and Somatic Riding®. Cassandra’s work lives in the space in between, the place of pure potential and embodied knowing where the herd is the guide, presence is a lived practice, and relationship is the pathway to embodied sovereignty. Cassandra is based in Pasa Robles, CA. In this conversation Cassandra and I explore the waves of potential which present themselves to us when we remember our embodiment, ground into our knowing, and experience our power. Cassandra shares how the horses she shares her life with are beautiful examples of what it means to be a safe vessel of expression. Once again we witness, through this conversation, how integral our lives with horses are and what our roles can be in supporting the shift into a higher level of consciousness across the planet.

In this episode I am honoured to sit down with an incredible man who I like to call The Energetic Architect - Mark Leib. Mark has a background in traditional architecture and is trained in ancient European and Arabic architecture as well, he specialises in bringing harmony to land, property, and any space we can potentially inhabit on planet Earth. He works on multiple levels, introducing us to the experience of working alongside the music of the Sun, Moon, and planet herself. He has been a fundamental ally and part of the developmental and healing process here at Magdalene House. His energetic work with the land has and will continue to create a deeper sense of harmony, balance, and alignment throughout the space and into the surrounding areas. In this episode we cover sacred geometry, the music of the land, the process of the Magdalene House project, Mark's perspective on vibration and healing, and a lot more!We also touch on how important it is to come into contact with how we can listen to the land horses are living on, as there are a variety of stresses which can cause the land to go out of balance, when we listen, we can interpret what is needed, then take the appropriate steps from a place of connection. There is a lot of information in this episode so make sure you sit down with a good cup of tea to tune in. It was an honour to have this conversation with such a brilliant and talented human being, thank you Mark.Connect with Mark Leib:www.markleib.con
