Christen's Mission is to "support all to feel seen, heard, and responded to until delighted."

Do you yearn to be seen or to see others?

Do you know there are kindred spirits out there who want both heart connection and disciplined skill mastery?

Do you want to ride a horse with willingness and cooperation, not just steer a vehicle?

Do you dream of guiding your students, your children, your teams to cooperate to create something real, not just comply?

Do you want to help the horse, not just use it for fun or escape?

Do you seek the win/win of a relationship where everyone rises, regardless of status or role?

Do you have dreams you can't quite reach?

Do you have plans and actions you can't seem to execute, that stall out no matter how hard you push?

Do you find the black and white options of Stick or Carrot (punishments or rewards) frustrating and know there is something more meaningful to influence others?

On the other side of these desires and frustrations are the delight and alignment of the Centaur.

Not a myth. Not a metaphor. A path.

The Centaur Path invites you to balance your Rider (mind), your Horse (body), and most importantly, your Heart (connection). Together. Aligned.

That Heart is where the transformation lives.

That Heart is what allows the Rider to speak to the Horse.

That Heart is where play lives.

That Heart is where discipline becomes devotion.

This is the delight of mastery, victory, attachment, and transformation over time and consistency.

Hours of deep practice still matter, but not mindless repetition. What matters are the right constraints, the right relationships, and the right rhythm.

In the right environment, deliberate effort becomes joyful discovery.

That is what we cultivate at Calling Bird Farm.

You don't need to choose between structure and soul.

Centauring is for those who believe in both.

While we are all Centaurs by nature, most of us are not living into our full Centaur potential.

I've lived this. I've failed, burned out, returned, and rebuilt. And I can say with certainty:

The world needs more Centaurs.

If you are ready, I will help you find your way home to yourself. And to your horse, you children, your students, your teams.

Christen combines concepts from neuroscience, Adlerian psychology, sobriety, management, leadership, parenting, horsemanship, and best practices in skill mastery to create delight and deep change for you through connection.
