About | Deborah Inanna Krenza, CEGE
An Intuitive Coach
My Purpose Statement is: ‘To awaken others to the light, love, beauty, and joy that is in us and around us all of the time.” My passion is to connect people to their authentic nature out in nature, and the non-cognitive sources of knowledge, such as heart intelligence, emotional intelligence, and intuition.
Over many years, I have worked extensively with many masterful teachers in several different domains. The Mandala of Inanna is a synthesis of the nuggets of wisdom I have gleaned from these explorations:
I have been drawn to many mind/body disciplines from my love of movement, including a devoted Ashtanga yoga practice with Richard Freeman for 11 years, followed by a pilates practice for the last 13 years.
My 5-year studies with Sobonfu Somé rocked my world by experiencing the indigenous wisdom teachings of honoring the elements in nature, rituals, divinations, and an African initiation.
My work with Angeles Arrien, in the “Fourfold Way” year-long program, and “The Second Half of Life,” has inspired me to contribute in every way.
As a certified equine guided educator, I partner with the highly sensitive horse in coaching sessions, which develops awareness of the intelligence of the body and the power of our energetic field.
I am passionate about helping people courageously confront, heal, and integrate any disempowering stories, beliefs, and wounds that hold them back from experiencing the joy and authenticity of living the life of their dreams. I help individuals develop a feel for the vibration and non-verbal communication they are emitting.
As clients witness the impact their vibration is having on horses and other humans, they are invited to develop skills to increase their happiness and fulfillment. Connecting a client with the heart’s intelligence engenders the courage to embrace vulnerability, compassion, and authenticity; awareness of emotional intelligence fosters self-awareness, resonance, empathy, and social skills.
I received a BA from Auburn University with a double major in foreign languages and education. I speak fluent Spanish and French, am a certified Newfield coach and equine guided educator. I am also an animal communicator, life coach, mentor, and I facilitate equine guided and nature immersion workshops at our ranch in Lyons, Colorado.
A Born Naturalist
For as long as I can remember, the natural world has been my closest playmate, teacher, and guide. (That’s me on the right.) To this day, the universal joy and communion I feel with everything in nature sustain me.
My irrepressible childhood curiosity led me to be bitten, stung, and mildly poisoned by pretty much everything within my reach. For my sixteenth birthday, I got Hud, a five-foot blue indigo snake who I taught to slide through my belt loops and hang out with me like a belt.
A severe accident and a badly broken leg allowed me to observe my life from the vantage point of my sofa. This experience catapulted me into significant life changes, including leaving my marriage of thirty-five years.
Like Queen Inanna’s descent through the seven gates into the underworld in the Myth of Inanna, the journey into my shadows revealed a wild, primal part of myself that felt trapped, stifled, and desperate.
I then chose to strip myself of that identity, just as the gatekeepers removed Inanna of all of her possessions.
Activism, Speaking Events, Creative Collaborations and more…
I was born to do this work.
Advocating for our wild horses, coaching and inspiring others to tend the feminine fire, and to listen and follow their own heart, is pure joy. Watch the videos below to learn more about these passions. What are you or your group called to manifest right now? Contact me to discuss how we can work together to raise awareness about the plight of the wild horses, ignite the flames of reform, or join together to spread the message of love, tolerance, and understanding.
The medicine of the horse is power, and it has been my experience that spending time with a horse awakens our connection to our potential.
Horses exhibit many admirable character traits that can enrich and inspire our existence if we choose to emulate them.
