EQUINE ASSISTED SUPPORT GROUP FOR WOMEN

We are so pleased to announce our new group for 2024, Equine Assisted Women’s Support Group.

This group will focus on self-care and finding balance between the many different roles we women play; from wife, mother, daughter to friend, boss or coworker.

EQUINE ASSISTED SELF-CARE AND AWARENESS FOR THERAPISTS

6-week group

It’s been a trying time for our world in this constantly changing pandemic environment. Among those needing balance, care and support is out therapeutic community.

In this 6-week self-care process group our participants partner with a horse to get immediate non-judgemental feedback in our beautiful outdoor-socially distant setting. This experiential processing group focuses on providing a sacred space for participants to delve into their own imbalances between their internal and external worlds, helping to increase self-awareness and put you more in-tune with yourself and others. No horse experience necessary as all work is done from the ground. Work is done with individual and group-centric activities; follow-up individual sessions are available and can be scheduled separately.

Group is limited to 6 people for a 6-week session. Please email us for more information.

Prices will be posted when new dates are set.


What Participants Say About Judy and her EFP Groups

“Judy Weston-Thompson has an abundance and spaciousness as the teacher, leader and guide in the journey to understand Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy. Her sensitivity and intelligence make her uniquely effective in helping students understand matters of safety and protection, nurturance, boundaries, communication, and relationship dynamics as it relates to working with a mighty horse.

And it must be said that her co-therapists Caesar, Calysta and Star partner seamlessly, providing countless metaphors and projective material to explore and assess with Judy's guidance. Every session has given opportunity to witness and embrace how this work allows clients to connect the horse's experiences to their own, and convey their feelings and issues in a way that is both dynamic and less daunting than might occur in traditional talk therapy.”
