Couples Equine Experience
2/16/13
The Spa is excited to offer the Couple’s Equine Experience! You will have an opportunity to see your individual strengths and areas to grow through the groundwork activities with the horses. You may also become aware of unconscious behavior patterns that could be preventing you from joy in your relationships.

This workshop will help you discover the dynamics of your relationship.

"It was eye opening, heart opening, and strengthening of my resolve to continue to be open minded and willing to learn new things." - Tim
