Experience the Sacred Space with Dr. Susan Fay       
November 8-10, 2024
Shadydale Equine Center, Travelers Rest, SC

This is an amazing opportunity for a small number of Dr. Susie’s students to take a deeper dive into her teachings and practice under her guidance. 

There will be a Pre-Gathering Zoom session, group sessions, discussions, demonstrations, two individual sessions per participant with a horse, and a Post-Gathering Zoom follow-up. Individual sessions may be on the ground, in the saddle, or a combination of both (participant choice).

Gathering Prerequisites

Participants with horses must have worked with Dr. Susie personally or attended a previous Gathering and commit to attending all three days in their entirety. Remote sessions can be booked with Dr. Susie at Drsusanfay.com

Auditors must have worked with Dr. Susie personally, attended a previous Gathering, or completed her online Breath course (to be released in Spring 2024), and commit to attending all three days in their entirety. As an auditor, you will see how various horses respond to Dr. Susie’s work and learn her techniques by observing. Dr. Susie is very attentive to auditors’ questions and comments. Remote sessions can be booked with Dr. Susie at Drsusanfay.com
