DETAILS

In this one-of-a-kind experiential workshop, you’ll engage in guided mindfulness exercises, poetry reading and creative writing while spending meaningful time with horses to facilitate your presence and creative expression. Through a blend of Equine-Assisted Learning and writing, you gain insight into your emotions, cultivate body-mind awareness, and deepen your sense of self-compassion.  Poem-making, when approached as a therapeutic, healing and transformative process, rather than with literary analysis and judgment, provides an opportunity for increased self-awareness and growth. This approach encourages listening, connection, and finding deeper meaning in your life.   You’ll leave this workshop feeling grounded, inspired, and empowered by the experience of being deeply listened to by the horses holding space for us. There is a heart-felt connection with the horses who sees you fully in that moment. Our program is inspired by scientific research into the healing benefits of equine-assisted learning and creative expression to support holistic wellness.
