What is an Equine Facilitator?

Equine facilitation workshops are led by the facilitator, who partners with their horse[s], to lead experiences for clients to provide embodied awareness, confidence building, personal growth, empowerment and team-building. This is done through experiential methods while maintaining confidentiality.

Our facility is nestled in the Endless Mountains of NEPA. We are outside of Meshoppen, which is part of Wyoming County. Circle Up Healing is part of a working horse and small 4-H livestock farm in a natural setting.
Horses are sensitive, non-judgmental beings who mirror human emotions. They are highly intuitive and enjoy partnering with humans. This reflection provides powerful opportunities for self-awareness, confidence boosting, team building and overall personal growth.
