Puppy Yoga
Enjoy a fun, hour-long yoga class with some of SICSA's adoptable puppies! This class will be a relaxed, simple flow. Yogis of all levels and abilities are welcome. Expect plenty of puppy energy and an occassional break for belly rubs.
Grounding and Connecting with Horses
In this peaceful, nature-based session, we will step into the pasture to connect with horses in a calm and grounding way. Surrounded by open space and fresh air, participants will be invited to engage in gentle, mindful grooming – focusing on the rhythm of the brush, the texture of the horse’s coat, and the quiet, nonverbal connection between human and animal. This unhurried time with the horses encourages presence, emotional regulation, and a deep sense of calm. No prior horse experience is needed – just a willingness to slow down, observe, and connect.
Mindful Coloring and Eating Activity
Join us for a calming and restorative session that combines two simple, yet powerful mindfulness practices: coloring and eating. We’ll being with quiet, focused time spent coloring mandalas – allowing the repetitive patterns and gentle creativity to center your thoughts and ease stress.
We will also offer a mindful eating experience, where you’ll savor simple food items with full awareness – engaging all five senses to connect more deeply with the present moment. This activity is designed to help you slow down, reduce anxiety, and build a deeper sense of self awareness and peace.
