SoulBodyHorse: Recent Episodes
Meredith Crawford
SoulBodyHorse celebrates the horse-human connection and the power of our equine friends to change our lives and understanding of "how things are." We look at the rational and irrational, experimental and the experienced, the science and the spiritual. We believe in the power of stories, in digging deeper, pushing further, and asking the oft-unsaid question. Join host, Meredith Crawford, as our guests unpack our relationship with the soul, the body, and the horse. Thanks for listening!
I am so excited to introduce you to today's guest, Dana Croschere. Dana is an award-winning film producer and has spent the last 15 years volunteering at various ranches, immersing herself in the transformative world of equine-assisted therapies and witnessing the healing power, presence, and sacred connection between horses and humans.
When I first heard about her latest film, Rescued Hearts (coming in 2024), which takes a look at unpacking this incredible horse-human connection, I knew I had to bring her onto the podcast. In her own words, Rescued Hearts isn't just the story of horses; it's the story of all of us and the power that lies within to create healing and transformation in our lives.
We discuss:
- The miraculous event that unveiled the healing power of horses and forever changed the way she sees them
- How capturing the most incredible stories of transformation of people whose lives have been touched by horses changed her preconceptions
- Why do horses seem to impact humans so deeply, and what is it that creates the healing effect?
- Why film is her chosen method of celebrating the therapeutic power of horses
- The ways we limit our trust and connection with horses and how we can change it
