About this Event
Join us for an intimate evening of equine connection, sacred practices, and ways to incorporate the power of the botanical world under a waxing moon.
Our ritual & conversation will unveil correlations between the lunar cycles, menstrual cycles, astrology, as well as current and ongoing astrological transits. We’ll discuss the moon’s influence on women’s cycles and how the intricate dance of celestial bodies can impact our hormonal rhythms. A beautiful compliment to this evening will be an hour-long trail ride before the ritual and ending with a casual barbeque meal.
Equine connection and opportunities to connect with horses can be incredibly healing. Read information about Equine Therapy below.

Equine Therapy

Because horses are so in-tune with non-verbal cues in their environment, they can help aid people with a variety of issues, including mental, emotional and physical problems. The mutual building of trust through self-confidence, healthy communication, and mindfulness with such a large and powerful animal can aid in building or restoring healthy boundaries for those who have a history of abuse, trauma, neglect, and low self-esteem. This type of therapy can also be especially helpful in treating those who have trust and abandonment issues.
For some, working with a horse provides exercise for those who need help developing fine and gross motor skills. Hippotherapy allows others to stretch and activate organic muscle movements with the horse’s gait. People with different forms of cerebral palsy and autism can benefit from horseback riding, as it helps them develop strength, balance, and muscle control.
Equine-assisted psychotherapy can also be used to treat the following conditions:
- Trauma, including abuse, and trauma-related disorders such as PTSD and acute stress disorder
- Depression
- Anxiety or stress
- Addiction
- Relationship issues
- Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
