Join us for an experience of discovery and adventure, with or without our horses. Ravenheart Farms is dedicated to providing access to a variety of wholeness and wellness experiences, including Equine-Assisted Learning. Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) is a powerful and effective method of experiential learning in which a variety of fun, engaging, and reflective activities with horses are facilitated in a gentle, respectful way, for individuals, families, and groups/teams. Equine-Assisted Learning can be a very powerful journey of self-discovery, allowing people to gain insights and awareness, and alternative skills to draw on, when faced with difficult life challenges. No horse experience is necessary and there is no riding involved. Ravenheart Farms also offers cozy, rustic cabins, healthy natural food, nature trails, bird watching, the company of sweet horses and friendly dogs, expressive arts, nature-based learning, meditation, or just being! Retreat options (May to September) include organized workshops for groups and individuals such as the From Fear to Love Women’s Retreat, Horses, Spirit & Play, Magical Dreams Pony Parties, custom-designed workshops, or your own personally designed retreats.
