Grounded at the Ranch

It is easy to move through life on autopilot and push through stress without much time to notice what we need.

Grounded at the Ranch is an eight-week group for adults (18+) who want a creative and supportive way to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and feel more present in their lives. Each week brings together art-making, guided reflection, time outdoors, and experiences alongside the horses and other living parts of the ranch. 

Through activities and conversation, participants will explore stress, boundaries, connection, rest, resilience, and the everyday practices that help us feel more grounded. It isn't an art class, and there is no pressure to create something polished or “good.” Art is used as a way to experiment and express yourself.

Grounded at the Ranch may be a good fit for adults who: 

• Feel stressed, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck 

• Are moving through a period of change or transition 

• Want to slow down and become more present 

• Are interested in creativity, nature, or animals 

• Want to explore boundaries, connection, rest, and resilience

•  Prefer experiential activities alongside group conversation

You don't need to consider yourself artistic, outdoorsy, or comfortable around horses. You only need a willingness to notice, explore, and participate in a way that feels manageable for you.

What to Expect

Each session will follow a consistent and supportive rhythm and may include:

• A weekly check-in and guiding question

• Grounding, sensory, or body-awareness practices

• Time observing or connecting with the horses, land, garden, or other ranch animals

• An art-making invitation related to the week’s theme

• Accessible information about stress, regulation, boundaries, rest, and connection

• Time for personal reflection and optional group sharing

• A reading, poem, piece of music, or other resource connected to the theme

• An optional practice or resource to explore between sessions

Participants are always welcome to pass, observe, adapt an activity, or choose a different level of involvement. Artwork will not be interpreted by the facilitators or other group members.

Because each session builds on the last, participants are encouraged to attend the full series. Advance registration is required.
