The Alchemy of Equus

Join Erika Isler, certified Equus coach, and Jackie Naginey Hook, spiritual director, celebrant and end-of-life doula, to more deeply explore grief through experiential work with horses. Participants will be guided through safe exercises with the herd to help each person, and the group, find meaning in the challenges that the universal experiences of loss present.
As natural empaths, horses offer us rich insights into grief, loss, compassion and resilience. What will you learn after a few hours with a herd of horses?
You won’t look at your journey the same way again.
For more information and to register, call Erika at 814-883-4001 or Jackie at 814-404-0546.
