Heartfelt Farm & Therapy

A land & nature based wellness group for girls ages 7-12 who want to grow their confidence and connection to themselves and their communities.

The leaders of tomorrow face a rapidly changing world; they will need to be resilient, authentic, self aware, have high emotional intelligence and a grounded sense of wellbeing. Most importantly, they will need to lead with Love. At Heartfelt Farm, we believe the best kind of leadership starts from the inside out by truly loving ourselves. We acknowledge the unique gifts of each being and their importance in the world. We embrace differences, and center relationship before outcomes. In our programs, we utilize Art Therapy and Nature-based practices to foster relationship to self, others and the land. Our leadership model acknowledges that every situation can be a place to gain greater awareness and personal growth. This group is for girls who may struggle to find a sense of belonging or self-confidence within their world. These feelings may manifest as worries or anxiety, social struggles, or difficulty adjusting to new situations. Most importantly, this group is for girls who love creatures, creating, and being outdoors. During our weekly workshops, your daughter will work in a guided manner with our miniature horses and other creatures at the farm. They will learn that true partnership is first and foremost based on valuing relationship, and authentic relationships involve clear and respectful communication, setting boundaries and honoring the experience of one another.

Next offering: September/October (Sept 23rd, 30th, Oct 7th, & 14th)

"Nuts’ a’ maat is a hul'qumi'num word which translated means, “we are all one”. At the center of our work together at Heartfelt Therapy is the understanding that all is connected and we are all vital to one another and the health and wellness of the larger circle of life. We are loved and held by the Earth, our Mother, and with this, we have a responsibility to ensure her health and her wellness and that of all the relations. We believe that children are medicine and an intrinsic and most necessary part of this life-circle. It is our desire to remind them of their value and their sacredness. We are excited to support the children in rooting into place, to re-discover a love and a sense of belonging, to grow respect for the land, the animals, the plants, the standing ones and all presences who abide here. Through this offering, it is our desire to impart to the children the fundamentals of being a good relation, as supported by local teachings and by witnessing the way we model how to be a “good creature” with one another and the gentle therapy-animals who call this place home."
