Groups and Workshops

As the weather warms up there will be many opportunities for group sessions to promote awareness and build community. Groups add personality to the experience and provide borrowed benefits to all the members.

Dates will vary with the season so please sign up to be put on our mailing list for updates on what is available.

“Please Understand Me”

Would you like to have more successful relationships with those closest to you? How about more self-awareness and authentic self-love. These are the positive ingredients for self-improvement. The Keirsy Temperament Sorter is a self-assessed personality questionnaire designed to help people better understand themselves and others. It is based on a book, “Please Understand Me” by David Keirsey. It is one of the most widely used personality assessments in the world. The group will take the questionnaire and discuss the significant differences between the temperaments and have fun learning about ourselves.

Save the Dates: To be announced

Are you ready to clean up your life? This is a worksheet of 100 items, grouped in 4 areas of life with 25 in each group: Physical Environment, Well-being, Money, and relationships. These are the cornerstones for a strong and healthy life. This is just a start and one can choose to follow up with additional coaching workshops. This workshop will have 4 dates to review the areas and what’s next for each person.  The client can also sign up for individual coaching following this assessment.

This is a workshop exploring parts of self. All materials are provided. Our social masks help us “present our best face” to others. At times our social mask may be the opposite of what we are feeling.  We all have those shadow aspects that we keep hidden. This exercise breaks down and visualizes different personality characteristics, attributes, qualities about yourself. It brings to light our shadow aspects which helps us understand our deeper needs and desires. These insights can raise awareness of how we function in life. With awareness, one can start reviewing life choices instead of being reactionary.

All members are encouraged to share a dream. Each member will rehearse and represent different aspects of the dream adding a specific message. The dream is played out and represents various aspects and messages for the dreamer. The session is designed to explore a variety of issues: feelings, values, releasing trauma, and getting clear of what is wanted.

Group Coaching with Horses

These workshops will be offered offsite and onsite with horses. Each person will engage in an internal dialogue between their opposing personality poles. This exercise offers a perspective for understanding resistant or contradictory behavior. People may view one side of their polarity as better and the other as bad. There may be competing desires, values, or actions a person has learned to survive or succeed in life. There is a cost of being stuck on one side of the pole. Both sides of the pole represent complementary parts of a whole. This exercise helps one appreciate both sides to expand our full range of possibilities and explore limiting behaviors. The horse will provide their honest assessment of your awareness. 

A variety of techniques will be used at each particular workshop. Also, a variety of themes will be explored with one goal in mind awareness, to review values, vision, and feelings to promote new discoveries for WHAT IS NEXT!

The client sits across from an empty chair and imagines someone else or parts of self and dramatizes a conversation on relevant issues. It is a mindful self-exploration for anyone who wishes for a deeper understanding of themselves. The horse will be in attendance inside the round pen. If the client is comfortable then there is an opportunity to join the horse in the round pen and do a reflective round.

These various Gestalt experiments with the support of the horse promote self-awareness. The purpose is to keep our hearts supple and open on our journey ahead.

Being in the present moment with the horse allows for suppressed needs and emotions ( unfinished business) to gradually surface and reconnect with parts of self. Horses live in that present moment space and invite you into that space for healing and awareness. Please join Us!
