E.A.R.T.H. Programs
Equine Assisted Re-connective Therapy and Healing
 The ranch offers a limited number of E.A.R.T.H. programs to a select number of participants from May to September 2010.
Imagine a land where love is the guiding principle, where one’s consciousness and connection to Earth is the ultimate goal. A land where miracles are commonplace and spontaneous healings, connections, and a clear understanding of one’s life journey are natural occurrences.
Come experience Gateway 2 Ranch in British Columbia, Canada, home to crystals, vortexes, and natural flora and fauna as well as author Liz Mitten Ryan, her husband, and their sixteen horses. In this pristine setting, all things properly align for the highest earthly vision human beings can possibly experience.
Here, the free-roaming herd shares the barn/house with Liz and Kevin. Born to this paradise, the horses are loved and treated as family. Indeed, the animals of Gateway 2 Ranch have co-authored Liz’s four award-winning books that have garnered eight Independent Publishing awards. As a result, visitors come from around the world to seek the healing connection with higher consciousness this land and animals facilitate.
In the pristine grassland, lakes, and forests of Gateway, the horses interact at liberty, sharing their healing gifts and teaching the subjects of truth and intuitive connection.
This all-inclusive experience in “Understanding the Infinite” will illuminate your life and personal journey forever. Facilities at Gateway 2 Ranch include a native spirit lodge and spirit quest wall tents.
Please visit www.lizmittenryan.com/workshops.html for more details and to view the books and videos in the media section.
Testimonials:
“Gateway 2 is a magical adventure playground for the soul.”
"I am sixty-nine and had a very old neck and knee injury. Both disappeared through the healing sessions at these Life Changing Workshops.”
"Back home, my horse is now doing things I never taught him. He definitely knows that I have changed.”
"Take the base of natural horsemanship and add the divine. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to fly.”
