Presenters

Alexandra Makris, M. A., was born, raised and schooled in Ohio and lives there still. She was an elementary teacher, mother of two daughters and a consumer health advocate, all of which sensitized her to the fragility of children and the importance of living as close to "natural" as possible for health and well-being. And as a student of spiritual life, practicing the Way of The Heart via the Wisdom Teaching of Avatar Adi Da Samraj, Alexandra was discovering that "we are more than what we look like". Therefore, when she met Michele, she recognized her horses to be representative of a vast non-human world that is profoundly in touch with the Source of life and can thereby be conduits for all kinds of unexplainable or "magical" states, including, but not limited to, healing.
In this disposition, Alexandra and Michele wrote Magical Mac, The True Story of a Healing Horse, as a tribute to an old horse who lived far beyond his potential to participate in a life of love and service-which is the potential of all. It is a tribute to our children, as well, who must meet many challenges, most of which are not of their making, every day.


Michele S. Davis, PH.D, owner of Serendipity Stables in York Center, Ohio for 25 years, is the caretaker of six Healing Horses who work in the Native American Tradition of Medicine Horses. The work of these Magical Horses is widely acclaimed by people whose lives have been changed for the better-especially children with autism, ADD/ADHD, Tourette's syndrome, learning problems and other such challenges, who have been emotionally and physically rehabilitated by interaction with the Healing Horses and Michele.
Michele has a long history with horses-raising, training and riding them, but her involvement with healing came as a surprise. Her brilliant academic career in Latin American Culture and Theatre (in which she earned five PhDs) came to an end when she was stricken with leukemia and was given a few months to live by medical standards. She turned to the natural modalities of diet, prayer, mediation and miracles for her recovery, learning that wellness occurs when the body takes in what it can use, and illness occurs when it takes in what it can't use.
She recovered and acquired the healing arts of Native American Energy Balancing, reflexology, Sacral-cranial work, Pastoral Counseling-and then she met McDougall, a horse who meditated! Her life of healing and horses merged forever. Old Mac took over, lived to be 50, the oldest horse on record in the USA, and together they created a unique healing center that continues to this day. McDougall's miraculous work is chronicled in Annette Foglino's article, "Some Sort of Magic" in Reader's Digest August 1998 publication, and Magical Mac, The True Story of A Healing Horse by Michele and Alexandra Makris, 2002.
Today, Michele, as a Leaning Specialist, offers help for children who display frailties via sessions with the healing horses and other non-invasive means. She can also identify high awareness horses, and their needs, for horse owners who wish to provide the special environment these animals require to do healing work.
When she began to communicate with her horses, who tell her things the people who come to them for healing need to know, she was inspired to create The Magical Healing and Wisdom of Horses workshops with Alexandra and has been asked to tell her amazing story and research findings where people who are interested in Holistic and Spiritual matters congregate.


HEALTH: DEALING WITH ADHD

Michele S. Davis, PH.D., Learning Specialist with focus on the autistic and ADD/ADHD child, emphasizing that wellness occurs in nature: fresh air, pure foods and animal connections via a unique natural program of digestive tract rehabilitation, food/chemical exposure reprogramming, energy balancing, rhodium and iridium therapy, and interaction with the world renowned Serendipity Stables Healing Horses. (See Annette Foglino's article, "Some Sort of Magic", Reader's Digest, August, 1998, about Serendipity Stables' original healing horse and about Jessica, an autistic child featured in the article, and see Magical Mac, The True Story of a Healing Horse www.magicalmac.com. )

As a leukemia survivor, quality of life issues have occupied me for 25 years, preparing me to assist distraught parents and their youngsters who do not fit the norm. Mostly, I see children who manifest symptoms labeled "ADD/ADHD". My first ADHD child terrified and amazed me. This 6-year-old thrashed around my living room while his grandparents announced, "We don't think you can help us, but if you do fix Cory, we have two more like him at home!" Not knowing how to proceed, I recollected my leukemia days and the American Indian healer who gave me direct energy treatments, teaching me how to feel energy with my hands and rebalance it throughout the body. Instructing the grandfather to hold Cory on his lap, I began filtering energy into Cory. He became calm and still and then amazed us all by falling asleep soundly for the first time.

After 20 years of soft research with ADHD youngsters, I define them as "nutritionally deficient, adrenalin poisoned" children. Their profiles often include such symptoms as picky eater, underweight/physically frail, gastrointestinal complaints, hyperactivity, inability to fall or stay asleep, cravings for sugar/caffeine, unprovoked emotional responses, ringing/noises in the ears. The ADHD child, devoid of energy, runs on adrenalin. The constant throb of the fight or flight hormone creates hyperactivity, behavioral disturbance and inability to focus. The solution is to make sure the child is processing nutrients in order to create energy and turn off the adrenal glands

Thanks once again to all of you for your donations and prayers which have made it possible for Sweet Adeline, one of the healing horses of Serendipity Stables to get the ground-breaking surgery needed to fix her broken leg. All the money needed was donated and so much of it by so many of you in $10 and $20 donations!
See Mike Hardin's articles for the whole story.

Most recent update--Adeline is cheerful and using her leg (in a cast) to lean on and as a pivot. She is responding to all the help she is receiving from the doctors and staff at the hospital and the other healers who are authorized to visit her. Prior to surgery she received massage, Reiki and other energy sessions It is possible that she will have acupuncture also to add to the list of healing modalities as part of her post-operative recovery. She has not lost her appetite, especially for apples, horse cookies and an occasional peppermint
candy. Prayers for her recovery are still appropriate. Dr. Sutter's goal is for Adeline to use her leg as before her accident. The next challenge is to find the funds--$5,000 to finish (winterize and expand) the barn at Serendipity Stables for Adeline's return in five weeks as projected. These donations can come to Serendipity Stables at 21721 St. Rt.47, West Mansfield, Ohio 43358.
