The Offerings of Ravenheart Farms
Kjrsos is proud to partner with Carol from Ravenheart Farms with this our premier offering. The space and the energy just says it all as soon as you step onto the property. They offer their own programs that you may be interested in checking out, including a variety of programs, workshops, and retreats, partnering with horses through Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL), life coaching, and nature-based educational experiences. Understanding that partnering with horses can be a powerful and effective journey of self-discovery, mindfulness, relaxation, stress-relief, and personal development, allowing people to gain insights and awareness into unconscious patterns, and to find alternative skills to draw on when faced with difficult life challenges through safe, fun, engaging, and reflective activities with horses that are facilitated in a gentle, respectful way, for individuals, families, and groups/teams.
No previous horse experience is necessary and there is no riding involved. The focus of EAL is not riding or horsemanship specific. All activities happen on the ground, usually at liberty (no tack or equipment). As a Certified Equine Assisted Learning Specialist, Carol Marriott helps participants become aware of their energy while engaging with the horses. Horses are always in the moment, and their "feedback" is clear, immediate, non-judging and authentic, based on how horses naturally behave. Ravenheart Farms Equine-Assisted Learning Centre & Retreat “where heart-centred Equine-Assisted Learning and coaching with horses will gently lead you from where you are to where you want to go.”
Ravenheart is located approximately 15 minutes north of Kamsack, Saskatchewan, Canada.
