We have two spots left for our Celebrate Summer So We have two spots left for our Celebrate Summer Solstice event coming up this Sunday, June 21, 2026 from 1-4 pm. Our theme: Standing in Your Light. Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year - a seasonal invitation to honour growth, celebrate abundance, recognize personal strengths and reflect on what is ready to flourish or transform. Through experiential learning with horses, participants will explore: personal strengths and inner light - authentic leadership and presence - balance between action and restoration - gratitude, release, and seasonal intention setting - and connection to self, nature and community. Summer solstice invites us to notice what is illuminated in our lives. We will explore what light, growth, and alignment mean through our interaction with our beautiful herd. $60 per person - max 8 participants. Details on our web site www.themaneintent.ca
