Once everyone is in the position and comfortable, the canoe is pushed off, your guide is at the rear seat and we all start paddling. As we canoe around the islands, your guide will be telling about the islands and its history, as well as the history of the unique historical Voyageur Canoe replica that we are using on our tours. Our first destination is the Bird Sanctuary which is located behind the Donut Island. Once we get there, we stop paddling, and seat for a few minutes quietly, listening to the sounds of nature. The next point of interest is the Toronto Harbour and the stunning views of the city skyline. It's time to get out your cameras and take those million dollar pictures and selfies. As we proceed paddling through the islands lagoons and around some small islands, we can indulge into watching the gorgeous sunset skies. Our program ends after the sunset, as we arrive back to the Centre Island. Your guide will assist you to disembark from the canoe. After getting off the canoe, it will be time to say good bye. We hope to see you again. Other things to note No previous experience is required. There is a guide in the canoe with you at all times. There are public washrooms and restaurants in the park.

Do you need to de-compress, restore, renew and rejuvenate? Or just to step out and disconnect from your busy world for a few hours of self-care? We will meet in a parking area near the forest where our walk will occur. You will need to be comfortably dressed to be outdoors for 3 hours. This will not be a hike or a rigorous walk and we will not generate much heat through exertion--we will travel a total of about 1 kilometre on mostly level terrain, travelling slowly, noticing the world around us. I will offer you invitations for ways of interacting with the other-than-human world, engaging all your senses. You can choose to accept them or not! I will be asking you to turn off your phones and to not take photos until the last 10 minutes on the return journey, if you wish. At the end, I will offer a small nut-free snack. If you have any special needs or desires, just let me know! Other things to note We will be walking outside for the duration of this experience. Please come prepared for the weather of the day! I will be inviting you to turn off phones and only take photos in the last 10 minutes.

Healing with horses can take many forms and is as unique as each individual who experiences this process. Since this is done in the moment experientially the knowledge gained is not just mentally understood but fully integrated into the person. We use the combined wisdom and intuition of the facilitator and their equine partner to guide you through your experience. Because of their size, gentle natures and ability to connect we have come to realize that they can teach us to communicate better, create safe and respectful boundaries, and be better leaders. In this experience of self awareness and an exploration of your authentic self you will gain a better understanding of your mind/body connection. You will choose your horse for the experience and start with a time of reflective grooming while building a relationship with your horse. You will engage in an activity of mindfulness with the focus on the emotions of you and your horse. With non-verbal communication you will discover your leadership strengths and your ability to set comfortable boundaries. With their mere presence horses can heal us, make whole that which was fragmented and restore that which was lost...
