Are you feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected?We invite you to Disconnect to Reconnect, a restorative, equine-assisted workshop created for anyone who could use the opportunity to slow down, step away from everyday demands, and reset.
Held in the peaceful setting of Naples Therapeutic Riding Center, this unique experience combines guided interactions with horses, mindfulness and grounding practices, and expressive art activities to encourage reflection, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and meaningful connection.
You’ll spend intentional time alongside your equine partner through gentle, ground-based activities designed to help you become more present and aware of your own responses. Horses offer honest, nonjudgmental feedback, creating opportunities to explore stress patterns, boundaries, communication, and connection in an entirely different way. Expressive art activities provide another avenue for reflection and self-expression, with no artistic experience or ability required.
The experience is led by Anne Ateeka Contee, LCPC, a licensed mental health therapist with extensive training in trauma-informed, somatic, nature-based, and equine-assisted approaches. There is no pressure to share, perform, or “fix” anything. Participants are encouraged to engage at their own comfort level throughout the experience.
No horse experience is required, and there is no riding.
And participants have told us just how meaningful the experience can be. Across all three Disconnect to Reconnect workshops held last year, participants rated their overall workshop experience 10 out of 10 on post-workshop surveys.
One participant shared:
“This experience was life changing. I highly recommend this for veterans experiencing PTSD and other post deployment readjustment issues.”
Hosted by Naples Therapeutic Riding Center, a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center, the workshop takes place in a professionally managed environment with an emphasis on participant safety, equine welfare, and thoughtful facilitation.
Whether you are navigating stress, burnout, a life transition, relationship challenges, or simply feeling like you need time to reconnect with yourself, you do not need a specific reason or diagnosis to benefit from this experience.
Come as you are. Spend a few hours away from the noise, alongside horses, and leave with practical tools and experiences you can carry back into everyday life.
