Women's Retreat
This retreat is meant for anyone struggling to know themselves, struggling to honour themselves, struggling to believe in themselves. As women in our world today we are pulled in so many different directions, but which one is OURS? Which path feels right to US? And do I have the courage to walk that path?
Educators Wellness Day
This retreat has been uniquely curated with the educator in mind. If you are a teacher or an EA, you spend your day giving to others. This day is about giving back to YOU! Allow our highly trained facilitators to guide you through a day of re-discovering the essence and importance of self-care so that you can recharge your own battery in order to continue your work with joy and pride.
Mother - Daughter Day
Are you a Mom looking to connect with you daughter on a deeper level? Or, are you a daughter looking to spend some quality time with mom and increase understanding and communication skills with her? Then this afternoon is for you! Spend and afternoon with our professional human and horse facilitators for some fun, some laughs and some unique "ah-ha" moments!
Minimum age is 13. No horse experience required.
Equine-Assisted Therapy
Equine-Assisted Therapy has been proven to increase the effectiveness of traditional counselling methods with the immediate non-judgmental feedback provided by the horse. Clients often see improvements more quickly.
The horse has been helping people through mental and physical recovery for thousands of years. This incredibly intuitive animal is able to sense our emotions, heart rate, muscle tension and blood pressure. This amazing ability along with their unique personalities allows us to gain instant feedback on our own emotional and physical presence through their gentle mannerisms.
Equine-Facilitated Healing for Trauma Recovery
Trauma is a little word with heavy meaning. The weight of it can feel too much for one to carry at times. Our trauma informed counsellors and equine partners are here to gently lighten this load.
Discover how the horse can intuitively give you what you need in order to find calm and understanding all while building resilience. Their non-judgmental, un-biased presence provides a safe space to let go and simply be.
Corporate Team Building
Is your work team struggling to 'click'? Could efficiency be improved by reducing interpersonal conflict or miscommunications? Our workshops allow our equine partners to help you and your work partners discover exactly what it means to be a part of an effective and efficient team.
Contact us to discuss areas of focus and collaboratively establish goals. You can choose from one of three ready-made options, or let us curate your very own customized corporate team building event.
Grief and Loss Support
Author David Kessler described grief as being as unique as a fingerprint. We all process loss differently, and on our own timelines. But what if grief gets stuck? What if grief is preventing us from participating in our lives?
This is when the gentle guidance of our intuitive horse partners can help. Let our experienced human and equine facilitators walk with you and support your journey through grief.
