What we do

SPIRIT HORSE is a place like no other! Hidden in a secret valley, it appears as an ancient tribal village, nestled in the wild woods, under a waterfall and glittering rock face. Spirit Horse has flowered into something unforeseen; an ongoing experiment in off-grid, eco-community living. But with tribal style!
The dream began with a few tipis pitched at the far end of a farm in a huge meadow. One of the aims was to host retreats on a shoe-string budget, the only budget we had back then! We did not know it at the time but something much bigger was destined to happen. People fell in love with the place and with something else that cannot be named. We grew, and a community was born.
A charity was created in 2002, and after ten years of fundraising something impossible happened; we bought 200 acres of land, with the sole intention of letting it all grow completely wild!
That land now surrounds our hidden encampment that has become a settlement of roundhouses, yurts and temples. Today it’s called rewilding, but back then we spoke of it as “returning her original face”.
If your wild side is calling then come, sit by our fire – there is a seat with your name on it. Come away to the wild! Let that part of you be addressed and blessed.
You can also join our monthly internship program, or our volunteer program or our building team, where you live and learn with us for weeks or months of immersion – welcome home!
Come! Come for ecstatic creativity, candlelight suppers, nights of fierce drumming and dancing, silent enquiry, tribal togetherness, stillness among the groves, temple living and saunas by the rock pools. Come to learn, lend a hand, laugh and be silly. Come to deepen and dream and give life to new dreams. Discover, learn, build, realign – and play in waterfalls!

Healing Love Healing Money: Trust As The Foundation For A New Culture

Money, love and power are among the hardest things any community works with, and many of us carry the same fears into both: not having enough, losing what we have, and the sense that if someone else gets money or love, we won’t. Healing Love, Healing Money: Trust as the Foundation for a New Culture is taught by two intentional communities. Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle are from Clear Sky Meditation and Retreat Center, a Buddhist-lineage community in the BC Rockies. Monika Alleweldt and Benjamin von Mendelssohn from Tamera Healing Biotope, a community of about 160 people in southern Portugal that has spent decades studying love, trust and relationship. Clear Sky has spent years working on its relationship with money, and our two communities found surprising parallels in the fears beneath both. Over four sessions we explore the roots of fear around money and belonging, love, possession and power, trust as infrastructure (community as a container for healing), and ethical livelihood. We use short meditations, body-based practices, reflection and small-group conversation. You do not need to be in a romantic relationship or live in community. When: October 27, Nov 3, 10, 17. All four sessions: 12–2pm Vancouver, 1–3pm Alberta, 7–9pm UK and Portugal, 8–10pm Central Europe. Note: US and some Canadian provinces change clocks on November 1, so the US west coast is 12–2pm on October 27, then 11am–1pm for the remaining sessions, and Eastern is 3–5pm on October 27, then 2–4pm for the rest. Cost: sliding scale Details and registration: https://www.clearskycenter.org/event/healing-love-healing-money-online/
