This year, Linda Bruce, Equine Gestalt Practitioner and owner of Soulful Prairies 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 needs.
