Mindfulness in Everyday Life: 16 Guidelines Equine Assisted Learning to Develop Compassion and Wisdom

This series of workshops is for anyone who is looking for a framework for change and the experiential setting to help shift the way you think, act, relate and create meaning.

The 16G are a set of guidelines being used around the world to bring mindfulness into everyday life. They have been taught to school children, hospital staff, people working in the not-for-profit sector, health, mental health, university settings and in the corporate world. They are a tool to help create a culture of kindness, wisdom and compassion from families to professionals. They help us to explore How we think, How we act, How we relate, How we find meaning.

Through experiential activities and interaction with the horses at Sierra Acres we will explore the 16G and how they can help create a more meaningful life.
