Women’s Self Care Group
Next Date: June 3, 2024
5:30-7:30pm
$100/Participant
It's the start of the summer and there's no better time to carve out a few hours to take care of yourself. Cheff is excited to be offering another session of it's very popular Women's self care group!
Horses are powerful, interesting, and intuitive, and will provide a safe space for us as women to explore our creativity, and the way we care for ourselves.
All of the work with horses will be on the ground, unmounted. No horse experience is required. The group will be small to allow for individual time one on one with a horse, and is facilitated by a mental health professional, and certified PATH instructors. This is a psycho educational group, where we will learn about ways to care for ourselves, and explore a variety of things with horses, including art with horses, journaling, and one on one horse activities. Each participant will have their own horse to work with for the day.
We’d love to have you join us. Facilitators include Tasha Federinko, PATH advanced instructor, and licensed professional counselor, specializing in grief loss and trauma and women’s issues. Also facilitating is Emily Fields, PATH advanced instructor, and Equine Specialist.
We will create a safe space to explore taking care of yourself. Please join us for a time of fun, learning, and fellowship. Register and pay using the link below!
