0:00.0	You're listening to the savvy painter podcast episode number 291.
0:05.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the savvy painter
0:09.6	podcast. I am just back from the most amazing experience. I spent a week in British Columbia at the
0:20.3	Apona Rise Retreat Center with nine of the most amazing coaches
0:25.3	who are all like me, deep dive coaches
0:28.5	with the amazing Bev Aaron,
0:31.2	and we were there with the facilitator at the opponent rise retreat center, Hillary, and the experience was just so incredible and so beautiful. I'm still processing it. I have a
0:47.2	feeling it will be a while for me to process everything that I experienced there, but it was just phenomenal.
0:56.4	And I wanted to talk about with some of the things that I learned there at the retreat center and some of the experiences that I have because they tie so well into the things that we talk about here on the savvy painter podcast and in growth studio.
1:12.0	So the retreat center is on this 80 acre ranch in British Columbia, just I think like four
1:20.3	hours drive north of Vancouver. And we were there we had the most amazing experience of just being with a herd of horses.
1:30.3	I think there were around 20 horses there at the opponent Rice Retreat Center, but what was magical about the whole experience was that we entered their space on their terms. We learned how horses behave in their own environment
1:47.3	rather than on human terms like in a pen or in a stable.
1:52.8	So for the first couple of days, there was no harnesses, no leads.
1:56.8	The horses were free to interact with us,
1:59.6	and they were free to decline to interact with us if they didn't feel like it. There were so many things about this
2:06.8	experience that it will take me a while to continue to process it, but the one thing that I wanted to share with you today may give you a different perspective on your art making.
2:19.0	What I thought was really interesting was to see how the horses behave with each other. Horses are prey animals and as
2:28.2	prey animals they have a certain way of being in the herd. Whatever's happening in the herd, the horses
2:35.3	take care of themselves. They watch over each other. They set boundaries with
2:39.3	each other and they enforce them when they need to. With everything that they do, they conserve their energy.
2:46.0	They don't have any energy leaks,
