About

Why Circles?

Because healing isn’t a straight line. It’s a spiral, a return.

At Circles of Healing, we gather in sacred circle because the circle itself is medicine. It holds no hierarchy, no head or tail. In the circle, no one is above, no one is behind. We meet heart to heart, soul to soul – each voice valued, each presence essential.

This is the ancient way. The way of the earth, the seasons, the breath.

The energy of the circle invites us to soften the edges of separation. To listen deeply. To remember that we belong – to each other, to the land, to something greater than ourselves.

Here, we move together through breath, sound, movement, presence, and connection with horses and the natural world. We don’t rush. We don’t push. We allow. We receive.

This space was created to hold you as you return to yourself – gently, sacredly, and in your own time.
Guided by somatic wisdom and spiritual practices, our circles invite you to release what no longer serves and remember what never left:
You are whole.
You are worthy.
You are home.

Meet Your Guide

Corina Holzapfel Naturopathic Healer • Somatic Guide • Horse Medicine Woman

I created Circles of Healing as an answer to a quiet call – a call to come home to the sacred, to the body, to the earth. My own path has wound through the realms of naturopathic medicine, yoga, nervous system healing, and the deep, wordless wisdom of horses.

Over the years, I’ve held space for hundreds of humans and animals to release pain, reconnect with their truth, and rediscover their inner light. But more than anything, I’ve learned that true healing doesn’t happen to us – it happens through us, when we feel safe, seen, and held in a space of deep presence.

That’s what Circles of Healing is: a sanctuary for remembering.

With deep reverence, this work is offered on the unceded ancestral lands of the Secwépemc Nation. I honor the original stewards of this land – their ancestors, their wisdom keepers, and the spirit of this territory. May the healing that takes place here be guided by respect, reciprocity, and gratitude.

When you step into this yurt, when you meet the herd, when you sit in circle – I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk beside you as you remember your own wisdom.

All my relations.

What We Believe

The Circle is The Medicine

At Circles of Healing, we believe in the slow, sacred work of coming home to yourself.
We believe your body holds wisdom. Your breath holds rhythm. And your healing cannot be rushed – only remembered.

This is a space where:

Safety comes first. We honor your nervous system, your story, and your sacred “no” just as much as your “yes.”
You are not broken. We don’t try to fix you. We hold space for what’s ready to unfold.
Healing is relational. Through movement, sound, breath, nature, and the mirror of horse and human connection, we come back into resonance.
Ceremony matters. We live and lead with reverence – for the land, the ancestors, the unseen, and each other.
Everything belongs. Your joy, your grief, your silence, your song. You are welcome here, just as you are.

We walk gently. We listen deeply.
And we trust in the sacred intelligence that guides every circle.

Join the Circle

This is your invitation to return. To your body. Your breath. Your truth.

Whether you’re new to this path or already walking it – you don’t have to do it alone. Come be held in a community that honors your wholeness and walks beside you in sacred remembering.
