Led by Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, Casey Conaway and the On Eagles’ Wings Staff of Equine Specialists in Mental Health and Learning, this workshop will enable you to pause, rest, and reconnect your mind, body and spirit.
Under the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Design, On Eagles’ Wings Therapeutic Horsemanship Center is the home of WVU’s equine studies minor in equine-assisted activities and therapies. As we have all heard a lot of talk about self-care and stress management these days, On Eagles' Wings Therapeutic Horsemanship Center is offering Equine-Assisted Wellness Workshops. Join us at the center for a morning of deep breathing, relaxation, and a special time to experience therapeutic horsemanship and nature on four workshop dates: Aug 29, Sept. 12, Sept. 26, and Oct. 10.
