Wildfire Dreams Sanctuary

Schön Frieden Farm

    Est. 2020 

​

The mission of Wildfire Dreams Sanctuary is to positively change lives by creating connections

in a sacred place of healing that promotes wellness, balance, and harmony with horses.

Wildfire Dreams Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 non-profit

​

We honor and respect the wisdom of the horse.

At Wildfire Dreams horses are our colleagues, not tools. 

Our healing herd is here to help those who have lost their way, who feel stuck and are ready to move forward.  It is the place where dreams run wild.  Where there is freedom to choose.  Where empowerment creates choices, and peace becomes a way to live well.

Private Equine Gestalt Coaching Sessions help mend your heart in ways that allow you to move past emotional pain. Our Equine Gestaltist is trained in trauma informed care where clients are heard in the peaceful setting of the farm. Our healing herd along with other animals, create a sense of peace, comfort, and safety that is quite different than being inside closed doors. Horses activate our parasympathetic nervous system naturally. Equine Gestalt Sessions are a clear, quick path to healing our bodies from past experiences.  Equine Gestalt Coaching sessions involve a coach, a horse, and a client.  Our horses are a valued partner in the work and they are never forced to work with us.  The horse gives effective feedback and builds self awareness and trust, reducing stress, anxiety and depression. 
Needing a new way to approach life's challenges in an easy to use format that doesn't require you to get to the farm?  We have the course for you.  Our B.L.I.S.S course is 5 weeks to freedom! Included in each purchase is our BLISS e-journal prompts arriving in your email each Sunday morning for deeper reflection.

What participants will walk away with: 

  1. A breathing practice they can use when life feels overwhelming.

  2. A better understanding of their body's signals and emotions.

  3. Tools to replace judgment with curiosity and self-compassion.

  4. An awareness of where to find support and connection.

  5. A renewed sense of purpose through meaningful acts of kindness.​​

Wildfire Dreams Sanctuary offers these programs to all who find themselves at our barn regardless of their ability to pay. Most importantly, we bridge the gap between our services and the horses that offer this gift of healing for the rest of their days.  Every dollar raised goes directly to our horses and the programs we provide.  Imagine a world where your donation makes a difference to a person in need and the equine partner that helped them heal.  That's double the kindness!

What an amazing experience being coached by Carolyne!  Her coaching style is natural, authentic, gracious and supportive allowing me to feel completely at ease and able to truly connect with myself and Carolyne

Debbie
Fairmont, WV

Working with Carolyne has been life changing. I went into this experience with an open mind but not exactly an open heart. Through love and support, she has guided me through a journey of self discovery that I did not know was possible. Asking tough questions, supplying encouragement, and letting me do the work led me to a healing heart and a feeling of enlightenment. There have been tears but there has also been laughter. I would not trade the growth and change within myself for anything in the world.

Gestalt therapy with the presence of a horse was unlike anything I have ever experienced. I didn’t know how many walls I had built over the years and emotions that had been buried behind them, until I found Wildfire Dreams. Carolyne’s sensitivity and deep attunement made me feel seen and understood without judgement, without pressure. The powerful presence of Nova, the horse, the intuitiveness without words, from such an amazing and beautiful animal was so peaceful and comforting. Carolyne held space with such a calming, kind presence that I felt safe to feel, release and to just be. It was the first time in a long time... that I felt free. Thank you Carolyne and Nova!

Carolyne's compassion and love helps me and my lack of confidence.  I am so blessed to have her in my life.

Carolyne has blessed my life in so many ways! I never thought or even realized all that I was holding on to for so long……So much pain and so many struggles until she , along with her herd of horses, are helping me heal. For me it takes some time…. It’s worth it! Carolyne  has helped me realize who I am becoming as my true self which I had buried and I cannot thank her and Raven, Magic, Lilly. Caesar and Javi enough!

Carolyne is an amazing coach.  She is confident, empowering, and compassionate.  Carolyne holds a safe and sacred space that allows for deep work and healing.  Thank you for stepping up as “firm” mom when I need it most.

Ashley

Thank you for holding space for me during my session about my dad leaving when I was only 5 years old.  I have avoided this “unfinished business” for several years. Thankyou for helping me trust the process! You connect with me from the start to finish. You are an amazing coach and will touch many lives.  You have mine.

Carolyne has incredible empathy coupled with tenacious focus. Her insightful questions helped me uncover a deeper truth about myself and move forward more clearly with my vision for my future.

Carolyne is soft spoken and kind. She has a way of connecting with people that is second to none. I loved her insights and she helped me realize that life is to be lived.

Carolyne is a beautiful soul.  She is light-hearted and cheerful, and her open, friendly and enthusiastic manner immediately put me at ease.  She is empathetic and caring and intuitively knows what I needed at the moment.  Thank you, Carolyne.
