Equine Assisted Personal Development Workshop

At the Historic Avery Burdick Stable LLC

Inspired by the Eagala Model and Internal Family System

Description: Step into the arena at the beautiful, historic Avery Burdick Stable LLC and experience the transformative power of partnering with horses. Horses are uniquely attuned to human emotions, they live fully in the present, respond to our energy and intentions, and offer honest, non-judgmental feedback. These qualities make them remarkable partners in personal growth and emotional healing.
