Fall Equinox Retreat 2024
hosted by JoAnne Pavin and Guests
September 20th, 21st, 22nd
at Soulful Prairies in Woodstock, Illinois

If you missed last year, you won’t want to miss this year when Linda Bruce, owner of the property, and Equine Gestalt Practitioner will be hosting a half-day segment with the equine herd. You will immerse in the presence of these majestic animals who are highly attuned to energy.
Linda employs Gestalt therapy, which focuses on recognizing and embracing our wholeness and helps us move through experiences that create pain or blockages. By attuning to our body's signals and tuning into somatics, clients can experience profound shifts and rebalancing of their energy. Linda's approach also emphasizes the importance of understanding and integrating different parts of ourselves. Whether exploring the past or addressing current issues, the session is tailored to each client's unique needs. |
