Across sessions, I am witness to how early trauma — the kind shaped before language — requires healing approaches that move beyond language.
Clients engage in somatic awareness, nature‑based attunement, EMDR, and HeartMath while working alongside horses who respond to nervous‑system shifts with clarity and authenticity.

The land participates as well.
Clients learn to anchor into the ground beneath them, feel the rhythm of their breath in the open air, and atune their connection to the world trough their senses. This awareness builds a foundation for releasing trauma held in the body long before words existed.

Healing becomes an ecological experience — body, horse, land, and nervous system working together.

Equine‑Assisted Family Learning: Repairing Relationships After Mistakes

Kids make mistakes. Adults make mistakes. Sometimes something gets broken. Sometimes someone tells a mistruth. Sometimes they take something that isn’t theirs. These moments can feel big, but they’re also chances for learning, connection, and repair.

In our equine‑assisted family learning sessions, we focus on what helps families come back together after these moments. Horses make this work easier. They respond to calm presence, clear communication, and honest intention. Their steady feedback helps children and adults understand their own needs, feelings, and ways of relating.

Families practice lifelong skills:

• Repairing after a mistake through small, supportive steps
• Helping everyone stay calm with warmth and clarity
• Working together to find solutions that fit everyone
• Empowering each person make their own choices while staying connected

Our approach is simple and human. We pay attention to each person’s pace, and way of communicating. We look for what helps everyone feel safe enough to stay engaged, and what helps adults feel steady and supported in their child’s learning curve for these big life concepts. Everyone gets kindness, respect, and room to be themselves. We invite the horses to help us practice small steps that build trust, confidence, and repair.

Looking Back,
Honoring Survival,
and Choosing to Thrive!

There comes a moment in healing when you look back over your own history and realize just how much you’ve survived. Not in a way that glorifies the hard chapters, but in a way that finally lets you see your strength clearly. The endurance. The resilience. The quiet ways you kept going even when life felt heavier than anyone knew.

At The Sojourn Center, we believe in those survival stories — and that they can become the foundation for something new.

Working with horses offers a different kind of reflection. They don’t ask for explanations or polished versions of your past. They respond to who you are now: the steadfastness you’ve learned, the courage you’ve built, the hope you’re beginning to feel again. In their presence, people often discover that resilience isn’t just something they had… it’s something they can grow  to thrive within themselves

Therapy with horses helps you shift from “I made it through” to “I’m ready to thrive.”
This a space to explore what thriving might look like — more connection, more clarity, more trust in yourself, more ease in your body, more confidence.

If you’re standing at that crossroads between your history and your future, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
The herd meets you exactly where you are, and together we walk toward what’s possible.

We’d love to embrace the journey with you!

Notice all clients: it is going to be a scorcher this week! Remember your water and cool but covering clothing when attending sessions. Closed-toed shoes are necessary.

It’s also fly season! We do have a mix of skin so soft bug spray at the barn, but you’re welcome to bring your own.

The Sojourn Center has two intensive spots left for the Late Summer Season!

Weekend scheduling is optional! 

This service involves:

Intake paperwork with free consultation 

Planning Consultation /Diagnostics session via Telehealth

Two back to back Days of Intensive Therapy, Equine Assisted Learning, and EMDR, including Future Template work

Follow up Telehealth session 2-4 weeks later for closure and guided planning for future self-care

….

This type of intensive allows the nervous system to engage in deep healing and reset. The equivalent of months of weekly therapy with life long tools to move forward.

Frequently asked questions: 

Do I need to talk about my trauma or the things that happened to me? No, not unless you want to. We can use ‘blind to the therapist protocol’ for EMDR which allows the person to process the traumas without disclosing it to others.

Will there be homework? Yes, some. Self work can be done in any learning style and communication style. Frequently chosen adaptations include video journals, auditory journals, drawings, prayers, or meditation. The content of the self work does not need to be shared with the clinician and will be for self review/ insight only. 

Can kids do this?  yes and no
This type of therapy requires abstract thought and insight work. Typically: Children 16 to 18 can participate.

Can I attend with my family? No this type of intensive is for individual nervous system reset work. We do have family intensives and you’re welcome to contact us for additional information regarding Family intensives. 

How much does it cost?
$1850.00 this includes the initial consultation, two day intensive and the pre-and post Telehealth sessions, as well as a workbook tailored specifically to each participant. 
I need extensive privacy with my concerns, is that available?
Yes, and always. Confidentiality and privacy are built into our location witch is nature based, private, and rural. 

Is The Sojourn Center:
gender, affirming, neurodiversity affirming,
culturally affirming,
spirituality affirming, 
identity affirming,
autonomy affirming? 

Yes all of these and more! Feel free to contact The Sojourn Center for additional information on affirming practices and how we can tailor supports to meet your specific needs. 

Each intensive is individually designed with extensive peer reviewed research specific to the person’s goals. You are welcome to request the research behind your particular treatment.

We look forward to hearing your questions, curiosities and concerns!

This little friend showed up at Sojourn today. I’m guessing they were in the mood for a little free lance work.
