The connection that the horse has to healing is a true journey, not a destination. Much like that
of the grieving process, that is just what it says, a process not an event. This workshop will
provide information regarding the grief and loss issues of children, teens and families, while
incorporating the techniques of equine assisted grief counseling and art as avenues of listening

are ideal for office settings as well as equine assisted therapy.
