About this Event
The Resiliency & Justice Center invites all those who qualify for their services to discover equine EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), also known as "Arena EMDR.” During these free events, you'll get the opportunity to meet Terri Keener and Laura Higgins of the Stable Arena, interact with members of Laura’s Helpful Herd, learn all about Arena EMDR, observe equine exercises (with an option to participate), and watch demonstrations of the early phases of Arena EMDR.
Please dress for the outdoor setting and wear closed toe shoes (no steel toes). Due to weather and other circumstances, the exact time and location for these sessions may change. For any questions, feel free to call Laura at 702-768-2336.
