On Saturday, May 9, we held our Creative Connections with Horses for Women Without Mothers. It was a special gathering that invited women who have experienced their own type of loss or absence of a mother in their lives.
We were able to share stories and engage with the horses for some heartfelt connection, plus writing, and co-creation with the horse. Each art piece marked by a swish of the tail and finished with the touch of each woman's creative expression from their own experiences. It was an opportunity to honor our mothers, ourselves, and the horses. And, a reminder that Mother Nature is here to protect and heal.
At the end, the group gathered to watch the horses return to their paddock. After a bite of hay, the horses left the paddock, cantering down the hill, and as if grief was lifted and released into the air behind them, landed at their favorite spot by the river to rest and graze.
We are so grateful for this group coming out, for the support, connection, joy, some peace in our hearts, and of course, for the wonderful herd of horses.
