Donkey Miracles
In April of 2023, I was lucky enough to get trained and certified in Faith Based Equine Assisted Philosophies, FBEAP, by founder Elaine Davis of Unbridled Faith, LLC. By using equine assisted exercises, the philosophies taught by Elaine Davis and observing the natural equine and herd behaviors, this work helps human mental, emotional and spiritual health. This is not talk therapy or even ridden therapy, it is all experiential learning that will help people quickly and gently realize unhealthy thought patterns, lies they believe, causes of anxiety, and many other issues that are interrupting your life. Through experiences with the donkeys you will learn new, truthful, healthy thought patterns that will impact all areas of your life.
Vision:
Our vision is to see the endangered American Mammoth Jackstock, that was used to help people work their land for food in the 1700’s through the early 1900’s, now help people again, but who are struggling with issues that are keeping them from living their best lives.
The Donkey Miracles Program
The Donkey Miracles program is a faith based, non-profit working to help youth find healing and hope through equine assisted learning and the love of Jesus. We use our large, loving donkeys, the outdoors and even a couple of our miniature cattle to provide a truly unique learning experience.
Our program is designed to create a self-discovery process that will bring about personal transformation. The programs will run 6 weeks consisting of one, one and a half hour session per week. Each session consists of a relevant topic for today's youth, journaling, some basic donkey care, an exercise or game with the donkeys, and some time to talk about struggles and victories. A coach/mentor will help work through challenges and process new ways of thinking.
Students in this program will work toward personal goals, while learning patience, good communication skills, taking responsibility, anger management, problem solving and social skills.
There is NO FEE for this program. Donations are always welcome! To find out start date for a session, please contact us by email using the "contact" page.
