In May 2025, a participant traveled from Prague, Czech Republic to Tucson for
The Alchemy of Presence 3-day immersion with the horses.
During the training, Lisa gave her feedback that she was "almost transparent"- not fully showing up, not fully present in the work.
Eight months later, she wrote:
"I felt certain I had to become 'visible' and change the situation.
So I bought my first horse - an old, lame, blind (in one eye) horse that couldn't even be ridden.
It felt like buying the freedom of the whole world.
After I bought him, he essentially stopped limping. Now we are enjoying trail rides in local forests again.
I can still feel piece of the desert in my heart and hara, and I am really grateful that it became part of me."
