Why Horses?
Horses mirror our feelings and energy.
A horse's electrical field is larger and stronger than ours and their heartbeat is much slower as well. This has a calming effect and teaches symptom management.
Horses teach us how to communicate clearly with intent.

-

What else is at the event?
This event combines many different nature and body based modalities to give an optimal healing experience. Each of these processes are tried and tested to assist with trauma, brain injury and calming the system. They also assist with relaxation and sleep recovery, enhancing the immune system.
There is no mandate to share or talk, even if you quietly take it in most people find they walk away more relaxed, feeling a sense of peace they have not felt in a long time and more hopeful about the future.
