Past Events

Called by Wild Horses: Listening to Nevada's Mustangs

Date: June 10-15, 2026

Location: Virginia Range Band, Pine Nut Range Band

In June, Monica traveled to Nevada for a private, invitation‑only journey to connect with the wild horses who roam the Pine Nut Mountains. This is not a public event, but an intentional visit—much like her time with the elephants in Thailand—created in partnership with those who protect and advocate for these herds.

This journey was an opportunity to witness the wild ones in their own world, to understand the stories they carry, and to honor the wisdom they offer when humans slow down enough to hear them.
