About Us
our purpose
Our goal is to assist with suicide prevention and help those affected by suicide.
what is Kintsugi
“Kintsugi,” is a very meaningful word. It basically means to repair with gold; the end result being more beautiful and resilient. People have experience trauma, and that trauma can leave us feeling shattered. Kintsugi Equine Gestalt Coaching assists with repairing scars in a holistic, experiential manner.
Anam Cara Suicide Loss Support Group
Who We Are
The death of a loved one to suicide presents unique challenges to those who grieve. Confusion, guilt, anger, and the ever present “why” are common responses. This type of loss can also include isolation due to social stigma. Losing a loved one to suicide is a painful and difficult experience that often creates complicated emotions that are generally not understood by others. We want you to know that you are not alone and invite you to join us.
Who We Are
Anam Cara is a peer support group for those of us who have lost a loved one to suicide. Our Equine Gestalt Coaching Method™ group is different from other types of groups you may have attended. The innate healing and wisdom provided by the horse creates a unique experience in a safe and nurturing environment. No prior equine experience is necessary.
Anam Cara provides an atmosphere of acceptance for exploring feelings, providing comfort and understanding to others that have experienced the same type of loss.
Meeting Time and Location
Anam Cara is open to anyone 18+ that has lost a loved one to suicide. Whether the loss was recent or many years in the past, all are welcome to attend.
Anam Cara meets monthly. Contact us directly for dates and times.
All meetings are held outside (weather permitting) or inside the barn. For your comfort we recommend dressing in “farm appropriate” attire, including close toed shoes.
