Hello relatives!! ✨
Learning with Our Horse Relatives sessions update!
This is something we are truly grateful to continue offering within our program!! It brings smiles to our faces to bring these services to those who may need it.

Being with our šúŋkawakȟaŋ is healing, they guide us in releasing what we no longer need to carry and can bring peace and balance. We love what this work can do and look forward to continuing these sessions with our youth. This would not be possible without our amazing Equine Psychotherapy instructors and Kylie we are especially thankful for providing us with her beautiful and gentle horses who make this work possible. 🐴💛

Please note we are open for referrals as well! https://www.canva.com/design/DAG4UPBpa9c/J-dFUlbh_PNkhvoTIhmWIQ/edit?ui=e30
