“Grace is movement without fear… …fullness of life and the delight of living in joy…. It is the rhythm of the in-breath and the out-breath….” Dianne McCourtney.
Change, whether gradual or sudden can challenge our definition of self, knock us off center. Are you suddenly faced with decisions to make and are unsure how to proceed? Do you find tasks dropped in your lap that you’re not sure how to handle? Do you have the basic survival skills needed just in case you have to? In these workshops, women will explore the art of grit while walking in the world with grace. These workshops focus on helping women experience their capacity, ability, and “mojo” to do for themselves. Let the power of the horse and supportive coaching show you that you are a competent, capable, confident, self-reliant woman. Grit with Grace – Yes You Can! workshops are also available for youth.
What About You? :
“In the event that oxygen masks may be needed, place the mask over your own face before assisting others.” (From Finding Resiliency and Renewal in Our Work – National Center on Family Homelessness)
Are you on overload? Afraid to take time away from your daily routine and demands? Recharge and restore during this one day workshop with the healing horses.

This series begins at the end of each year then occurs at the change of each season.

Front Line Responder Resilience:
Working in the field of child protection gave me the opportunity to become all too familiar with the reality of burn out and secondary trauma. High stakes, controversy and more work to do than humanly possible creates physical, emotional and psychological consequences that can be debilitating to the individual and cripples teams and organizations. Horses are powerful healers in helping first responders regain resiliency, reduce stress and heal from secondary trauma. Contact Brenda to a customized workshop or retreat for your team.
