Mindfulness & Healing with Horses Meetups

Monthly

Thank you for welcoming me into your home. Your farm is a haven. I have felt overwhelmed by life, so much pain and fear. Spending the weekend reconnecting with nature, with powerful kind women, and myself has been so healing. I have laughed deep and cried and taken the time to remember who I am. In a season of loss, I gained so much from this weekend. Your gift for hospitality, love for women, passion for health and healing have reignited that deep spark in me to find my own gifts and share them passionately. I am more than a mind. I am a feeling body and inspired soul. Thank you for allowing me the space to connect with all three. To quiet my mind, feel my body, and comfort my soul.
