Read All About the Wonderful Stories, Miracles and Feedback We Have Gratefully Received
"Hello Liz and group - I am moved beyond words with the experience at Gateway 2 Ranch. I am a person of not so many words, until i need to speak; and prefer to be like the horse and let my actions make my language. With my homecoming, I was pleased to see my eldest horse, Priscilla, walking very well; as if she were two years old. She has had 2 hind feet/leg(s) with major issues for a couple of years now. The healing facilitated by Crystal on the table one day while i was at Gateway; I am sure went into my horse, Priscilla, transcended thousands of miles and healed her legs/feet. I always knew distance healing was true; as I have practiced it in various ways for many years in my work with others. I find however, with my horses, I am so in love with them all; that the emotional content gets in my way of making space for healings to occur (sometimes). And so, this time with Liz, herd and the group, was truly a healing for the healer (me!)' and I give thanks. I can not express in words (again) the gratitude I have for having time with all of you. I am moved to tears in writing this to you. My heart is so full of love and life again; and for this i give thanks. The rest of my small herd (5!) all notice a shift in my energy - it feels like a cellular or DNA transformation - I mean, I really feel different inside.
This by far, is the best "happening" i have EVER had in travel/learning/experiences. As I told you , Liz, I have gone to many horse programs and otherwise seeking to learn, grow, become excited - and left because I was not moved. Thank you for all that you do ! What a wonderful blessing you are to the world - from one horse to another!" - Kimberly Clarke
"I found this vision quest retreat to be the most 'complete life altering /awareness awakening experience', giving me such physical and spiritual freedom that I can not help but move forward in my life to fulfill my God Given life purposes. Living all my dreams and desires with pure passion. Thank you Liz, and Gateway 2 for this one of a kind gift" - Michele
"Gateway 2 Ranch is a magical adventure playground for the soul!" - Jane Reid
"I first met Liz two years ago, as I was recovering from cancer. She invited me to visit her ranch at Gateway 2 and it was the most important decision I have ever made. While I was there, I spent each day quietly with her herd, just hanging out with them and listening to them. I began to experience the most incredible (and at the time, frightening) physical symptoms that told me I was healing right there in their midst. Liz said the horses would have known I was not well, but my experience was beyond anything I could put into words. A month later I went for new tests and was told there was no sign of the tumour I had previously been told was likely fatal" - Carol Upton
"My visit to Gateway 2 Ranch was a life Changing experience. I was a disillusioned math teacher living in England with no experience of working with horses. During my stay, the horses taught me to be true to myself at all times: Liz taught me the importance of living in the eternal present moment: the beauty, stillness and silence of the surrounding hills, valleys and lakes reminded me that my natural state is one of peace and joy, and Tesoro the baby bull taught me about unconditional love." - David Mills
"An exquisite experience allowing one to escape their own reality yet bringing you closer to not only your true self but to the consciousness of the earth of which we are all one" - Shawn Hamilton
"I am sixty-nine and had a very old neck and knee injury. Both disappeared through the healing sessions at these Life Changing Retreats" - Carol Ferguson
"How can I describe this amazing experience in just one sentence. It definitely was a life changing experience, the land, the animals, the stone people, the plant people, and of course the food. I loved it all and I want to know when I can come back there and do it all over again. I feel like I need another two weeks there at least to complete this part of my journey." - Kerry Thompson
"I have had two compressed discs, complete with permanent bruising and consequent suffering with constant back pain for twelve years. All this has completely disappeared through the EARTH healing experience at Gateway 2 Ranch." - Susan Burgess
"Much of the joy and wonder that I felt during my time at Gateway 2 Ranch was in observing and experiencing the incredible communion, harmony and unity between the participants, hosts, facilitators, animals and land" - Connie Funk
"One sentence!? I think I've filled almost two journals with the flow of reflections pouring from my thoughts...my hand cannot scribe as fast as my thoughts are coming.
Here is one sentence (does it count as one sentence if I just omit the spaces and periods?)....How could such a life-changing experience be summarized in one sentence? ... The following quote applies 'You do what you know until you know something new' and I have learned a new way of being in the world. It becomes so crystal clear upon 'returning to normal' that the lessons from Gateway 2 are going to continue to unfold....almost daily I want to run back and say 'OMG I get it!'
I know the friends made (human, animal, spirit and nature), the lessons learned, and my profoundly changed way of walking on this earth will be with me always as a result of my time at G2." - Gina Morro
"I have known and lived with Liz for 23 years. We have danced with the unexpected throughout. I have watched, nurtured and supported her dreams, leaps of faith and spiritual and personal growth. Her commitments and achievements, and her connection to and with her animals stand as an inspiration but even more so as needed guidance for mankind.
Her four books lead an individual to the opportunity of finding truth and spiritual understanding in a symbiotic relationship with all animals and life; within the embrace of the ALL" - Kevin Ryan
"It was a day when I was feeling on edge, like something was about to break. I had been taking photos all morning of the amazing healing work that I had been witness to until I hit a wall of pain. With my partially healed back fracture I had sustained only weeks before, I could not maintain my 'I'm ok status' anymore and I told Liz. She directed me to Crystal and L.E who where standing in a line-up with the herd under a cool tree canopy. So over I went and sheltered with them where I stood facing these majestic beings. I took three deep breaths and started to connect with my heart.
After a while I could sense one of the human herd come up behind me and sat down at a respectful distance. I continued to breathe and connect with the horse nation and that's when tears came down in a waterfall of release. The next moment I was falling into Connie's arms the human member of the herd who had been called to join the healing loop. She caught my tumbling self and emotion that was pouring out, she enveloped me. I could not help but unravel in her elegance and grace and my truth revealed itself. Once the healing was complete I came back into my body and I knew instinctively my fracture was healed and stronger than before. I am now pain-free and still absorbing my miracle ten days later.
Upon sharing the healing experience with Connie, Connie spoke of being shown a message which was 'that she had my back'. I couldn't believe it as she did not know that I had fractured my back in an accident a few weeks before. It just shows that we are all so consciously connected, we just need to learn to listen more.
Connie and the herd thank you!!! My burdened self is free and that has always been my greatest wish." - Tamara Violaris
"There are no words to express my gratitude for the amazing life changing three weeks I shared with you and all the amazing wonderful people who are my tribe and soul mates. I will try and capture my experiences in more detail for you later but for now, just let you know how amazing each and every retreat opened the door for personal soul development.
The Madeline Walker Retreat was delightful. Having the small group was intimate and lovely. Each participant brought their own healing modalities to share and grow together. The horses responded in such a powerful way with when they changed their routine and grouped together so many times to do not just healing for us but with us, to make a difference to the consciousness of the world. The horses message will flow through each and everyone of us to reach as many people as possible and make a difference. Madeline brought her messages from the Whales, Dolphins, Lions, which will impact everyone who hears them.
She is a shining light, warm and lovely and so passionate and clear in her healing. The experience we shared with Prima and Piccasso and the rest of the herd holding space with stay with me forever. The clarity of the animals responding to healing and wanting to heal was amazing. Seeing how Serena could sense the shift in their energy fields and therefore need to have them separate till she knew it was safe was enlightening. Walking the land with Madeline was a total joy and she found magic in every moment, in-spite of the the mossies. The many meditations she share with us were profound and powerful. I have continued to listen to her wonderful CD. Some of my personal moments of joy came from really opening myself up in such a safe place. We are all unique and God is within us all and the realization of releasing blocks from our energy field with the help of the horses can truly align us with our true souls. Having Merlin want to heal with me every day .. working on my solar plexis to release any residue fear of moving forward and surrendering to the Universe was amazing. The bond I share with so many of the herd but Prospera, Winnie and Arthur especially just magnified how much love I have to share. In my years of learning I believed that Past life regression was not necessary in moving forward in our lives, but seeing how amazing it was with Prospera and Winnie, plus having Merlin, Arthur and Winnie all share past life stories with me, has opened me up so much to realize the knowing past life experiences can be heart warming and make sense of our present feelings and emotions, life choices and passions as well as a knowing that we may carry past life cellular memory that is no longer necessary to our soul journey and the healing we shared with the horses confirmed this. I know you are planning to have Madeline return to gateway and I would highly recommend it. As always it is bliss to be at one with nature on the most beautiful land in the world.
The herd is phenomenal in every way. Having Devon and Adriel (our special white lighters) there is such a joy. The food was delicious and especially nutritious. The muffins were outstanding and such a treat. I know having them as part of the team is meant to be.
My journey continued with Elizabeth and I having the time of our lives with you Liz. I dreamed of riding the land last time and it was a dream come true. I learned so much about natural horsemanship and enjoyed the playing with the horses so much. It now makes sense to me and I truly think I will now be able to enjoy playing with all my herd (without worrying about getting it wrong) They are the best teachers and Winnie helped me release fear. Prima was a dream as so smart you always know she is one step ahead of you. Riding her in the gentle thinking way rewards the rider with an amazing experience of true partnering. Luxy is magnificent and I adored how she and Elizabeth bonded and were so perfect together. It was a joy seeing Elizabeth grow so much too. We had a delightful time together and many blissful moments like sitting with the herd at the lake. Experiencing all the horses coming onto the no horse zone was hilarious and so much fun. The evening dinners were relaxed and delicious and I would love the name of the wonderful red wine. Definitely 5 * resort. My personal journey in the spirit hut was brilliant too. I loved the three nights the horses visited and it felt like heaven to go and join them outside. Prospera and Merlin always being present for me to gain the knowing I was tuned into them.
Margrit Coates is a legend. She bring a regal and passionate view on everything right and wrong in the horse world today. Her experience is vast and she is a brilliant teacher. The retreat was amazing and everyday was an awakening. Our tribe was amazing and each one of us bonded in such a special way, I am sure we will be soul mates for life. I particularly loved the purity of Margrit's healing techniques which really resonated with my journey and where I feel I can be of most service. She answered questions in my mind that allow me to go with confidence to the world and maximise all the knowledge I have gained in my studies to be in alignment with my soul path of healing with horses. We had so many brilliant experiences as a group, I could write for hours about but seeing so much growth is so many with the power of the herd as a catalyst was divine.
Each and every person was so special and I learned from each one. Tamara touched my heart deeply and I know she is a treasure and is destined for great things in life. Hearing her story on her healing and watching her transformation was a gift. The photographs are truly magnificent and capture the connection of horse and human so beautifully. I will always treasure the one of Prospera and I. Her face is divine and captures the love between us.
The most difficult part of the journey was with Arthur the last day. I gave him an energy treatment every day as well as the group ones with Madeline and Margrit . He has my heart from past lives and this life and all I could see was his spirit for life. It released alot within myself and I felt clearer afterwards. I also had the most amazing treatment with Margrit and the horses and I know it shifted and balanced everything. I was then able to have a final play riding Luxy and really enjoy our last day out on the land. Back to the third eye to another attunement on "Dreams really do come true" Our last ceremony by the fire was so uplifting. The drumming amazing and the energy and spirits of our tribe at its best. Confirmation when Maryanne was able to capture the orbs in her photographs.
Since I got back my feet have not touched the ground. I do believe I needed to be with you and the horses to help our dreams become reality and we are blessed with finding a property that is really lovely.
Sandy already has her house on the market and we have the wheels in motions. I will keep you posted on that. My beautiful mare Sierra is in foal (timed back to the Madeline Retreat) so I am over the moon.
Sadly my precious Mia (cat) went out on the Monday night and did not come back, but after the emotion cleared I was able to connect and know she crossed over and she is helping from the other side and joyous as well. So again a lesson on life and no death only a shift to pure positive energy. I am sending my love to all.
Love," - Barb Penny, Equinisitic Healing Certified Practitioner
