Equine Grief Workshop for Adults – Currently Enrolling for Summer 2025
A unique offering for those who have experienced the death of a loved one. Allow yourself this gift to get outdoors and interact with horses who can support you on your grief journey. Horses are non-judgmental beings who model and invite humans to become present and honest with our feelings, emotions, and thoughts. They are excellent communicators and listeners who respond to what they receive from us, making them great mirrors for our learning, growth, and healing. *No prior horse experience is needed, we will engage with the horses safely on the ground.
Workshops are offered in partnership with Heartlight Center at a private ranch in Lyons. Choose the date that works best for you; cost is $100 per participant:
- Saturday, July 19, 2025 – 10 am to 4 pm
- Saturday, August 23, 2025 – 10 am to 4 pm
These one-day workshops fill up quickly, so we invite you to register soon. Ranch location and details will be provided after your registration form has been submitted.
