No Fear: Embracing the Journey of Horse and Mind Training | Clear Sky Center

 

In the peaceful grasslands of Clear Sky Retreat Center, a simple encounter with two horses became a profound journey of transformation. Guided by Natural Horsemanship trainer Yvonne, and Dharma Teachers Catherine Pawasarat Sensei and Qapel, the Horse and Mind Training experience revealed how learning to connect with horses mirrors the path of training our own minds.

At first, fear and uncertainty stood in the way. Yet, through mindfulness and presence, fear was met — not resisted. Slowly, it transformed into trust, curiosity, and confidence. The horses became mirrors, reflecting the inner landscape of emotion, energy, and awareness. Each gentle interaction offered lessons in empathy, communication, and self-understanding.

Through Sensei and Qapel’s teachings, participants discovered that true training begins within. By facing fear consciously, we open to freedom and resilience. This practice reminds us that suffering is inevitable — but being ruled by fear is not. With awareness, every moment becomes an opportunity for growth and awakening.

This journey embodies the spirit of Clear Sky Meditation Centre — cultivating mindfulness, courage, and connection in community. Whether with horses, people, or life’s challenges, training the mind leads us toward compassion and strength.

Join us in exploring awareness and transformation at Clear Sky — where every experience, big or small, becomes a path to awakening.
