I will be creating a soothing, calm experience which will include some of the things I have trained in and use in my practice.

These include:

1. Equine connection. No riding, just experiencing the horses and connecting. You can engage with them in the fields as closely as you feel comfortable. They are all very safe. These are all rescue horses and are never ridden. They are only involved in healing work like this.

2. Energy medicine and experiencing grounding and deep connection to the earth and all the energy that surrounds us

3. Shamanic Journey work and soul retrieval (guided meditative work)

4. Inner child reconnection

5. Identifying and eliminating stuck beliefs that block us from experiencing our true authentic self.

6. The principle of the middle path and practicing letting go of attachments that limit us

7. We will close with a fire ceremony which will include releasing into the fire all that you are ready to let go of and bringing into your life all that you vision for you and your life.

The afternoon will be a mixture of some teaching and guided meditations, some experiential exercises done individually, some reflective time to sit in nature and reflect and process on your own and some time to discuss and share for those who want to.

This is not “therapy” and there will be no pressure for anyone to share if they don’t want to.

Also; I can give a receipt at the end of the workshop for insurance purposes if you have benefits that cover a psychologist.
