and open up to another possibility

Are you interested in deepening your connection with nature … are you someone who is interested in heartfelt and respectful relationships with our animal kin, someone on a journey of self discovery, self awareness and growth, perhaps someone who needs to take time to pause and renew your energy in a complex world to rethink the path you’re on … then this experience might be for you.
My sessions are gentle, delightful, and supportive and our time spent together can be therapeutic (not therapy.) You’ll have more skills when you leave.
I work with individuals and small groups of up to 5 people, age 16 and older.
One and two day retreats on Denman Island BC when scheduled, and Winter Wellness Workshops are posted in the Up-coming Workshops page: https://cynthiamindenartsandequine.ca/up-coming-workshops/
Offerings and Fees for 2026
Mindful Art and Donkeys sessions for up to five people! This is my signature workshop and takes place both in my cozy art studio and outside in the woods and donkey paddocks. The focus is on exploring creativity through a myriad of art making projects, adding gentle breath work to support focus and present moment awareness.
Working with short, playful and immensely accessible expressive art-making, this is a wonderful creative approach to mindfulness. We connect all of this work with experiential time with the donkeys, exploring attunement, co-regulation, non-verbal communication, body language and more!

Best of all, you need NO experience to participate, just come with an open heart and a curious mind!
