The Essence of She

Ladies Night Experience

Treat yourself to an experience that empowers your mind and replenishes your beautiful soul. When you arrive, we will provide you with a refreshment to enjoy by the fire while you mingle with your tribe.

Once everyone is feeling relaxed, we will spend a few minutes introducing you to our herd where your facilitators will walk you through a comical safety demo and then get you started on building a connection with your chosen horse by grooming, learning about their communication style, and working with them through a series of obstacles created for you to experience positive self-reflection, mindfulness, and empowerment. This is followed by a light guided meditation to promote rejuvenation of spirit.

At the end of our horsing around, you’re invited to sit back by the fire and celebrate yourself and your accomplishments with your charcuterie box and a refreshment, while admiring the beautiful Oxford County sunset.

A Date Night Experience

We’ve planned the perfect date night so you don’t have to. When you arrive, you will be provided with a refreshment to enjoy by the fire while you unwind with your better half.

Your facilitators will then introduce you to the herd and walk you through a safety demo which may, or may not, be Emmy nomination worthy. Then you’ll get started building a connection with your chosen horse and your partner by grooming, learning about how the horse communicates, and working through a series of obsatcles created for you to re-ignite your spark, build deeper trust, build better communication, and laugh with each other.

We wrap up your evening by providing you with a beautiful charcuterie box and refreshments for you to enjoy around the fire while basking in a beautiful Oxford County sunset.

Leave happy, refreshed, and with a deeper connection.

Individual Equine Assisted Learning Session

This is a one on one experience where the horse is your guide. In order to fulfill a life of purpose and passion, you must first discover your true self and what may be holding you back. Once you uncover this, you will begin brimming with self-confidence, self-awareness, and an ability to conquer whatever goals and aspirations your heart desires.

Our facilitators will introduce you to our herd and walk you through an informative safety demo. You will then choose a horse to work with and start building a relationship with them where you will groom, learn what their body language means, and walk them through a series of obsatcles designed to promote boundary setting, problem solving, and self-reflection.

Allow the powerful and gentle heart of the horse help you reach your true self.

A Reiki Experience with Horses

Horses intuitively recognize blocks in our physical bodies and auric fields. They can help move the energy, releasing repressed emotions and old patterns. They are considered symbols of the attainment of wealth and high rank, and in many ancient cultures, horses were gifted to emperors and kings because they are symbols of triumph and success.

Your Reiki practitioner will introduce you to the herd and you will choose a horse to stay present during your reiki session. During your session, your chosen horse will free roam close by while soft, soothing music plays. Your chosen horse and practitioner will help provide a potential relief of anxiety and fatigue, a boost in your mood, a relaxed and peaceful feeling, and a sense of calm and self connection.

Treat yourself to a truly peaceful and relaxing experience.

Available as Indvidual Sessions by appointment or Group Sessions on the 4th Sunday of every month

Our young people are capable of incredible things!

An empowered young person recognizes their capabilities, self-determination and worth. They feel comfortable trying new things and they have the confidence to take risks. They are aware that failure is a step toward progress, and not a sign to give up. They don’t use the opinions of others as their guideposts in life, and they stand up for their values. They know they have built a solid foundation to rely on in times of struggle or when they are feeling lost and need to re-centre.

Helping Animals Heal

Reiki comes from the Japanese words Rei, meaning spirit and Ki, meaning energy, so really, it translates to spiritual energy or (as some like to think of it) universal life-force energy.

Animal Reiki, to put it very simply, is an energetic way to connect with animals (from that innate place of healing within us) that allows them to relax and feel safe enough for their bodies and minds to begin healing from within.

Alisha is a Certified Let Animals Lead® Practitioner and a member of the Canadian Reiki Association.

Your team is your greatest asset.
