Four-Week Introduction to Mindfulness Course

Are you interested in developing a mindfulness practice to support your health and wellbeing while also supporting animal rescue programs? The Center for Contemplative Practices at CSUSM partners with Laughing Pony Rescue (LPR) to bring you this four-week introductory mindfulness course. This is an opportunity to explore the practice of mindfulness within a trusted and trusting community of humans and horses at the Laughing Pony Rescue venue.  Since 2010, Laughing Pony Rescue (LPR) has saved over 1,300 horses, donkeys and farm animals from abuse, neglect and slaughter. They currently house 14 horses, 4 donkeys, 3 goats, and a sheep, all rescued now in their forever home in Rancho Santa Fe, where the class will take place.

Dates: April 11, 18, 25, May 2 from 2:30pm to 4:00pm

Suggested donation: $200 (all proceeds will go to LPR, 501 C3)
Student scholarships available. Please contact Ranjeeta Basu at rbasu@csusm.edu

Space is limited so please register soon by contacting Laura Spielman at laura@laughingponyrescue.org

Laura Spielman is an Equine Specialist for Mental Health and Learning certified by PATH International and Mindfulness trained by the Equine Academy for Learning
