Why equines?
Throughout history horses have had a significant role in the development of human civilizations and advancement. Horses have provided strength, wisdom, and beauty to life. As a species, horses can teach us to be a good
listener, how to play nicely with others, feelings and emotions, boundaries with self and others, respect, trust, how to overcome fear, our internal & external world, non-verbal communication, and what it means to “work a hard day.”
Horses are special creatures in many ways. They are strong, majestic, honest, and live in the present moment. In recent years, humans have learned the many new ways that horses can help humans, on a mental & emotional level. Anyone who has been around horses can attest to how their gentleness and peace can bring relaxation, awareness, and connection. Horses are amazing sentient beings who will connect with us on a deeper level if we allow them.
How?
Through the collaboration with a licensed therapist and an equine an individual can work to learn about themselves and others by actually participating in activities with the horses, and then processing & discussing feelings, behaviors and patterns with the therapist.

Moving forward
Managing grief through Communication, Connection, & Choices
Loss of significant others, family, friends, job, career, and
future plans can make life feel like you are on a rambling river to nowhere. When healing
from these setbacks differs, one needs to feel heard, understood, respected, and
supported.
Communication, Connection & Choices is an equine assisted support group for adults
who are navigating that river of loss.
Feeling alone, isolated, or lost is common, even when we have others who may be
supporting or walking along with us. Support groups can connect you with people who
have had similar experiences or feelings, helping you feel less alone.
Horses can be instrumental in this healing process as they have an acute emotional
awareness that allows them to be attentive to the feelings of humans. Their capacity for
authentic presence creates a sacred space where we can confront our most vulnerable
emotions without judgment or fear.
At Wolf Spirit we provide this sacred space for healing in our equine assisted support
group. Our group is a 6-week closed program open to 6-8 members each session. This
support group will be hosted at Blue Feather Farm Woodbury on Mondays at 1130a
The cost for the group is $60 paid in advance and non refundable unless Wolf Spirit has to cancel and some insurances are accepted for this group.
