General Admission

Grief doesn&#39;t only come from losing someone we love &mdash; though it certainly can. It also shows up in the quieter losses we don&#39;t always name: a job that ended before we were ready, a relationship which shifted, a path we didn&#39;t take, or perhaps a place in our life&#39;s journey we thought we would have reached by now.&nbsp; Grief has a way of resurfacing long after we think we&#39;ve moved past it &mdash; in a song, an empty chair, or in a quiet moment when we least expect it.&nbsp; We often carry it silently, unsure of where it&#39;s welcome or how to let it move through us.&nbsp; Horses have a remarkable way of holding space for exactly that. They don&#39;t rush us, judge us, or ask us to explain &mdash; they simply witness, offering a rare kind of stillness where our feelings are allowed to surface and soften.&nbsp; Through a guided meditation grounded in equine-facilitated, trauma-informed practice, we&#39;ll gently move through grief together, in whatever form it takes, supported by the quiet, steady presence of the Sanctuary&#39;s horses. Friday, October 30&nbsp;6:00&ndash;7:00 PM 44 Dongan Ln, Newfoundland, NJ 07435 Bring your own yoga mat or chair Suggested donation $40 &mdash; give what you can, all proceeds benefit the animals at My Happy Place Together, we&rsquo;ll slow down, breathe, and spend time with horses who&rsquo;ve known their own uncertainty and recovery. In their calm presence, you&rsquo;re invited to notice what softens, what stays, and what gently releases.&nbsp; **Please note** When completing the registration process, in the summary section, you have the option of changing the default platform fee of 17% to &#39;0&#39; by using the drop-down menu.

Grief doesn't only come from losing someone we love — though it certainly can. It also shows up in the quieter losses we don't always name: a job that ended before we were ready, a relationship which shifted, a path we didn't take, or perhaps a place in our life's journey we thought we would have reached by now.  Grief has a way of resurfacing long after we think we've moved past it — in a song, an empty chair, or in a quiet moment when we least expect it.  We often carry it silently, unsure of where it's welcome or how to let it move through us.  Horses have a remarkable way of holding space for exactly that.
