What Awaits You at Epona Rise – Easy Payments Starting this Month to Assist Anyone Called to Join
This is a beautiful share from Epona Rise’s Founder and your host/facilitator of July’s Retreat, Hillary Schneider, on what happens in the space of the horse:
“Long ago a seed was planted in my heart through the relationship and connection with horses that started when I was a little girl…Ever since I have been around horses I have known that there was something special about them. When I am around them I feel like I have come home, grounded in myself and deeply connected to who I really am at the core. That is what they do for people. They create space for us to be reminded of who we are and provide us with an access to that deep wisdom that exists inside of us. There is nothing that compares to the gentle encouragement to bear witness to our truths when we are with them – a mirror of purity they help us to see where we are blind, gain clarity on where we are meant to be, and give us the confidence to stand in who we are.”
You can join, Hillary, the Horses, and myself July 2015 for an unforgettable experience of “Living with Vibrational Integrity“.
All details and links to register can be found here: tinyurl.com/eponarise
Including how you can save $100 through 11/11, and take advantage of amazing payment plans starting as little as $84/month if you register this month of September.
Since 2015 is the last year to join a Reiki retreat, let alone a sacred journey I’ll be hosting, we’re making it easy for anyone to be a part of these experiences.
To secure your spot please visit the link to place a deposit.
If you have any questions, please direct them to tania@taniamarie.com.
I hope you enjoy these photos from some of the time people have spent with the horses at Epona Rise, reflecting the kinds of experiences you can look forward to on this sacred retreat, as well as the magick that these amazing beings exude.
Retreats Announcement: 2015 is the Year to Make Your Dreams a Reality
A lot is coming to full-circle closure in many aspects of my life after years of focused work and missions. This means a new level of expansive freedom and inspiration to explore and share with all of you, as I honor what aligns with most resonance.
But some of this also includes true “Tania time” and soul essence passions to create.
And that will see 2015 as the indefinite closure to the retreats that so many of you have enjoyed. I am grateful in all ways for your courage to embrace these sacred journeys and have enjoyed them immensely, but I am being called to my own personal projects, as well as solo spiritual journeys, and so I will no longer be offering retreats at this juncture in time.
Along with retreats, I will also be closing out other aspects of my work, which you’ll see reflected by year’s end in my websites when you visit.
As always, I will keep you updated on developments and the opportunities available that I am able to offer to support your most beautiful and authentic soul expression.
That said, if you’ve been holding out for that special retreat to join, been saying that you’d love to join one of my retreats, or would like that retreat experience for certification training, then 2015 is the year to do it.
You will still be able to receive Reiki training and support in all other areas of workshops I offer, but these will either be local to where ever my area of residence is, or continued via live and recorded training calls, which will make certification and training accessible to anyone regardless of travel ability. I’ve been doing this individually, but it will be available on a wider scale.
This is in response to the continued requests internationally for Reiki certification training and desires to attend workshops, so that I can offer them more conveniently and affordably to support your needs.
The Last 2015 Retreats:
There is the potential of 2-3 last retreat offerings for 2015, but the ONLY one coupling Reiki certification with the journey and the ONLY fully confirmed one is the “Horses & Reiki: Living with Vibrational Integrity Four Day Retreat in British Columbia” July 9th – 12th, 2015.
For all information and Retreat pricing please visit:
I will keep you posted on the other potential two sacred journeys/retreats, when confirmed finalization comes through on them.
In the meantime, keep in mind that there is limited space remaining for the Horses & Reiki Retreat, due to the nature of this work.
And you now have these opportunities of early registration discounts and monthly payment convenience to take advantage of to make your dream of this retreat a reality:
- Receive $100 off if you register by 11/11/14
- Option to either pay the full amount now or hold your space with a non-refundable deposit of $300 per person
- Option of making monthly payments or waiting until 30 days before the retreat date, which is June 9th, to pay your balance in full if you place a deposit now
- Payment plans available starting at only $84/month if you register in September with a deposit and begin your payments in October. Or, for as little as $122/month if you register after 11/11 with a deposit and begin payments in December.

Magickal Moments with the Horses at Epona Rise Retreat Centre – A Glimpse at What’s in Store for You
Here are some amazingly beautiful moments captured at Epona Rise Retreat Centre a few days ago with the magnificent and masterful Horses you will have a chance to work intimately with during September’s Retreat with Hillary and I.
Horses so beautifully and transparently reflect our true vibration, which aids us in taking responsibility for ourselves. Working with both Horses and Reiki combined is a potent, mirroring way to be conscious, and take ownership, of your feelings, recognize the light within you, and live with vibrational integrity.
Here’s Hillary expressing her feelings from the experiences caught on camera that she shared here with me:
“We had a very magical day at the farm today with the horses…such a powerful space that they provide us to awaken us to our gifts and purpose in the world…we are really looking forward to partnering with Tania for this retreat in the space! I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty out of this world!! Here are some pictures from today!! Our herd is pretty amazing and masters at what they do!”
To say that I’m excited for this retreat is an understatement and I’m grateful for Hillary’s sweet words, for opening her heart’s passionate service to us, and for the Horses who have welcomed me to share in partnering with them in service to others.
In the photos you’ll see one of the amazing Horses, Tareena (above), who showed up in my meditation immediately when I was tuning in for guidance from them for this retreat’s inspiration. I was not aware of Hillary having a white Horse, nor that she was a she, but after I asked her about this, she shared in fact she did have a female white Horse and that she is in fact a magical Unicorn in disguise. 🙂
No wonder it is she that was the first to approach me, given both Hillary’s and my love for our enchanted Unicorns.
I am excited to connect with her and the other masterful Horses in person in just a month from now. You can see their beauty, power, and majestic wisdom in these captures.
We hope that you’ll join us for what is sure to be a memorable and powerful extended weekend July 9th – 12th, 2015 at the enchanted Epona Rise Retreat Centre in British Columbia for a Four-Day intimate journey of vibrational alignment through the partnering of Horses and Reiki.
If you have been wanting to receive your Reiki certification training, this is sure to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. It is also the last opportunity to receive Reiki training this year in a retreat format that allows for full immersion and integration of the energy during your extended, nurtured stay.
There are limited spaces due to the nature of this intimate work with the Horses. So this is the perfect setting for those who prefer smaller groups and have a reverence for these magnificent beings.
Combining energy work and nature is a divine partnership of integrative balance that will leave you invigorated and inspired.
And there’s only 1 room available on the property grounds – we are also able to offer tenting onsite to anyone who’d like to enjoy the full nature experience of the outdoors on Epona Rise’s beautiful land or we can direct you to the B & B’s in town.

From Dream to Reality – 4 Day Equine & Energy Partnership for Healing, Clarity & Empowerment
The stunning and magickal setting of Epona Rise where we will share this journey together
Next July 9th – 12th, 2015 welcomes you to an opportunity to intimately connect with yourself in nature through exchanges with Horses and exploration of Reiki, including certifcation in Levels 1 and 2. You will also receive individual energy healing and integrative sessions in this idyllic and loving setting that welcomes you.
Hillary Schneider and I came together over a magickal dream about Narwhals. We both had dreamed of them and Hillary’s dream inspired a search that guided her to read about mine.
Alongside our love for horses, all animals, and bringing a return to harmony on Earth, we both also share a deep love for unicorns.
Narwhals are considered the “Unicorns of the Sea”, which make connecting through these enchanted creatures, that much more special.
As Hillary shares, “Once upon a time I had a dream, this dream led to exploring the wide world of the internet where I found Tania Marie and her blog…following an urge I wrote to her, we connected and have been speaking about doing a workshop together ever since.”
Hillary and I are very excited about September’s offering at her magickal Epona Rise Retreat Centre, which will take us on a 4-Day intimate journey of vibrational alignment through the partnering of Horses and Reiki!
I’m inspired by Hillary and how she is truly “living” her dreams. I’ve loved her from the moment I read her first email to me over a year ago.
I’ve always wanted to work with horses and people in a broader way than simply my own experience, having been so changed by my physical interactions and my meditations with them. I have a very long soul history with horses and to be able to partner with them through Reiki – another love of mine – is a gift beyond words. And after my very special experience with the Wild Mustangs of Reno, I knew the Horses were speaking to their excitement and approval of this timely and aligned venture.
One of Hillary’s beautiful horses – this horse actually came to me in meditation when I tuned in for the guidance on the offerings of this retreat <3
Working with both the Horses and Reiki combined is a potent, mirroring way to be conscious, and take ownership, of your feelings, recognize the light within you, and live with vibrational integrity.
We are so lucky, as this is the first ever 4-Day retreat at Epona Rise in beautiful British Columbia, and what a blessing it is to share it with you.
There are limited spaces due to the nature of this intimate work with the Horses.
And there’s only 1 room available on the property grounds – we are also able to offer tenting onsite to anyone who’d like to enjoy the full nature experience of the outdoors on Hillary’s beautiful land, or we can direct you to the B & B’s in town.
So if you’re coming from out of town, please let us know as soon as possible, what arrangements you’re interested in, so we can help meet your needs.

Having just returned from another empowering and opening retreat I was hosting, I can’t share enough how these experiences positively transform people’s lives. The sparkle in their eyes, skip in their step, peaceful renewal their faces reflect, inspiration and hope they leave with, and the smiles that reflect their inner heart and soul light shining brighter, speak for themselves.

Horses & Reiki: Living with Vibrational Integrity
~ A Four Day Certification & Experiential Retreat ~
Horses are bridge workers who support deeper connection to yourself and provide a way to walk through new doorways of experience with greater sense of what is within you. They so beautifully and transparently reflect your “real” vibrational frequency that is operating, which reveals the emotions and patterns you have pushed down and hidden away. Reiki also helps to draw your natural essence out, so that you can integrate and become more energetically flowing, without holding on to things and storing them away anymore. Working with both the horses and Reiki combined, is a potent, mirroring way to be conscious, and take ownership, of your feelings, recognize the light within you, and live with vibrational integrity.
What you will experience during this retreat:
* Intimate exchanges with the horses
* Customized Reiki training to the nature of our weekend’s focuses, initiation attunements, and certification in Level 1 and 2
* Personal attention and loving support by both Hillary and Tania
* Experience energy and learn self treatments, along with practicing with each other and the horses
* Become more self-aware, in touch with your intuition, and feel a greater sense of balance, personal truth, vulnerability, compassion, responsibility, freedom, and trust
* Individual energy healing and integrative sessions
* Retreat time in nature
When: Thursday, July 9th – Sunday, July 12th, 2015

Two Weeks Left to Join Us in Bimini July 20th – 25th
We’re in the home stretch before plunging into the powerful energies and magickal waters of Bimini again. Only 23 days (that’s just over 3 weeks away) until retreat time July 20th – 25th.
If anyone feels like a reinvigorating, opening and activating experience is just what you need right now, then this may be the gift to self you have been asking for.
I know that I can use the added “oomph” fueling my engine. I’m grateful that I receive the same through facilitating such a week, as my own vibration raises when I am stretching and expanding myself along with you.
There’s still time to join and replenish your heart and soul in the magick of it all while we share a daily immersion of yoga, raw food, dolphin playfulness, expansion, and connection. This Atlantean energy power spot is a vortex for deep and empowered integration to take place. The energies present have the ability and potential to support the wanted changes in your life (in both subtle and not so subtle ways), if you embrace what moves through you.
We’ve been in process of finalizing things so that we have an idea of rooms and food supplies for the amazing goodies we’ll be enjoying from ARC owner, chef and now yoga instructor, miss Jenny – my amazing friend.
The official cut-off date to register is July 11th. At that point we will need all last registrations confirmed. So there’s just another 2 weeks (exactly 14 days) to search inside and make the choice that best mirrors what you discover there.
I am appreciative of the connections I have made during my times spent in Bimini and cherish the connections with a family of souls that have opened their hearts to me, to The ARC, and to themselves. I know many of you have been wanting to join one of these retreats there that I’ve been hosting, but unfortunately I am not going to be offering this retreat again next year, as Spirit is guiding me to work with the energies elsewhere for the Earth grid and I don’t know when I will be back.
I’m excited to have a special return guest on this retreat however, who happens to be the first person that registered for the first retreat hosted in Bimini, and since become a dear friend. Very cool full circle. It’s definitely a place that remains in your heart and calls to you when your soul is ready.
I have immensely enjoyed, am so grateful for, and have received so much from these sacred journeys in Bimini and so this (my fourth journey) will be a powerful and beautiful send off for now that I feel is going to be really propelling. I’ll be honored to share that with whomever joins.
