A safe place for survivors to come together and share what they have in common. Find support and encouragement from others that understand what it is like to have a brain injury. A welcoming round table.

* Equine Wellness with DonkeysEquine Wellness with Donkeys

Time: 1:00 pm

Two back-to-back sessions are provided per person (2 weeks in a row), and interactions with the donkeys are one-on-one sessions. REGISTRATION is REQUIRED. We will contact you with a specific date. Each session is 1 hour to 1.5 hours. Equine Facilitated Wellness encourages human wellness, healing and growth through working in partnership with horses, donkeys or mules. In my practice with donkeys, I appreciate their remarkable sensitivity, perceptiveness, and intuition. They are socially intelligent beings, fully engaged with their senses, living in the present without ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. Since they don’t experience the world from a solely cognitive place, equine have the gift of being able to relate to us on an emotional and somatic (body) level. We can learn so much from them! In these sessions we will blend deep appreciation for the surrounding forest, wildlife, special connections with the donkeys and mule through safe interaction and creative explorations. What do nature, donkeys and creative exploration have in common? All three can guide us towards physical and emotional health and well-being as well as help us to generate compassion, empathy and curiosity. All three can help us to deepen our understanding of body language and non-verbal communication, engage with our senses and become more fully attuned. Spend some time helping around the farm or just being in the presence of these mystical animals and surrounding nature. Imagine taking the time to be in the forest surrounded by an abundance of sounds, textures and sensory experiences, imagine engaging with one or more gentle and trusting donkeys and mule who welcome us into their world. With guidance from a facilitator and a donkey and nourished by the living world, you can expand your sensory capacity, learn some new skills and explore the world around you in new ways.
