Equi-Librium Sessions & Workshops

Ready to explore?

"Rio Abajo Rio" symbolizes the flow of what could be called "universal truth," "spiritual energy," or "creative force": the deeper well that exists beneath the surface rivers of our daily obligations.

Estes says of this river, "[It] flows over the terrain of our psyches looking for the natural hollows, the arroyos, the channels that exist in us. We become its tributaries, its basins; we are its pools, ponds, streams, and sanctuaries."

Join us as we flow with this river. Experience the deep stories of Mother Night and Women Who Run With the Wolves (texts by Jungian scholar Clarissa Pinkola Estes) with a small group of women interested in exploring the soul side of this human/animal journey.

This circle will include a focus on intuition and expression. At each session, participants will listen to a selection of work by Estes and will be invited to respond through equine connection, meditation, journaling, artistic exploration, and/or discussion. We will meet in the evenings, in proximity to our resident mare, Daisy, who will facilitate our sessions.

Session Dates:

Sunday, May 19: 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Sunday, June 2: 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Sunday, June 23: 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Join us for some playful self-expression and equine connection on this Saturday afternoon. Take home a one-of-a-kind canvas painting/collage created in cooperation with your equine partner!  We'll ask our horses to create a unique background for your inspired image and then provide a range of paper and paints for overlay/collage elements of your choice. All creative materials will be provided on site, and participants are welcome to bring snacks/drinks of their choice. This group is limited to 10 participants, ages 10 and up, please.

Grief and loss are universal human experiences. What "breadcrumbs" are you attempting to follow to a home (or sense of self) that may no longer support you? What crumbs or sustenance could you lay out ahead of yourself on the path toward your true destination? How can we grieve the loss of the past "home" while simultaneously trailblazing a way forward?

We'll explore these questions in the rich context of equine-supported symbolic journeys. You'll learn to reach within for meaning and understanding as you journey through past/present/future moments with an equine partner who feels WITH you and supports you along the way.

Learn and grow with Equi-Librium. Let our herd members walk with you on a journey toward stress relief and life connection. Experience the healing nature of limbic resonance, regulation, and revision in these powerful sessions (see our research page for more information). 

Experience the gentle power of equine connection, focusing on a social/emotional goal of your choice. Facilitators will assist you in determining a goal as needed. Often, clients who select a single session choose to focus on the experience of emotional resonance (deep connection) with an equine facilitator.

Bring some friends and enjoy all the benefits of EFL at a lower individual cost per person! We can't wait to work with you!

Relax while receiving gentle energy work in the company of our compassionate herd. Horses are wonderful healers in their own right and will often choose to stand near the individual receiving Reiki.

Equi-Librium Energy Work donates up to one free Reiki session per month as a way of giving back to the community. Please contact us if you or someone you know is in need.
