EQ-uilibrium: Stress Reduction with Horses
Whether you are looking to spend time with horses, quiet the “what ifs” of the future or reconnect with yourself...this is the mini retreat for you!
Come spend time in beautiful Penngrove, California outdoors with our horses. This semi-structured mini retreat offers you a chance to guide yourself back to the present moment, reduce stress and find more inner peace with the help of horses.
What can you expect from this mini retreat?
We will guide you through experiences to help you become grounded in the present moment, find the harmony within and explore mindfulness with horses. This workshop is not intended to be psychotherapy, but rather a space to find ways to reduce stress through building a tool box of techniques and practicing these tools in real time with the help of horses and nature. Our hope is that you leave this workshop feeling more energized and rested and with some tools to manage stress in your everyday life.
