E-G Women's Empowerment Circles

In its third year, we offer the 2012 series of Equine Guided Women’s Empowerment Circles as a leading edge, non-riding opportunity for women of all walks of life. In this small, safe women's group setting it is here that we gain unique and powerful perspectives, insights and practices to generate possibilities, regain personal power, inspire each other and maintain accountabilities together. The insights and skill-building practices introduced are dramatic, transformative and sustainable for all life aspects.

"It will take all of us to bring circles back as an integral part of our society. Although challenging, the benefits to the world, as well as to the individuals involved are immeasurable. It is important to utilize the innate knowledge of both the masculine and feminine energy in order to achieve balance within any social structure." Dawn M. Campagnola, on Women's Circles
