SUMMARY:READ program with Ziggy the mini
DESCRIPTION:READ program with Ziggy the mini\nOne hour Sessions\, 1pm and 2pm\, on Saturday and Sunday afternoons\, beginning  November 30 and December 1\n \nREAD program (Reading Equine Art Duo) with Ziggy the mini was designed to strengthen reading skills in a fun\, creative way. Students experience nature\, art\, and animals in a relaxed\, calming environment. \nFrom this\, Lisa (a Reading Specialist with 25+ years of experience) works with students to build and develop strong reading skills such as: phonemic awareness\, phonics\, fluency\, vocabulary development\, and reading comprehension. \nSince reading is a gateway to accessing information\, students will likely improve in all subject areas. \nIn addition\, their self esteem will begin to soar as they gain confidence with each reading session. \nLastly\, Ziggy’s adorable\, gentleness is just too cute for words. Students will fall in love with him at first sight. So\, come join the fun and learn is a holistic way with Ziggy and Lisa 🙂 \n\nWhere: READ program is currently hosted at a ranch in Watsonville.  Also we will be visiting libraries\, schools\, hospitals\, and nursing homes soon!  Ziggy Stardust is our dwarf miniature horse and he loves reading with all age levels.     \nLisa is also available to visit your horse(s) and READ with them!  This social/mental stimulation provides an overall sense of well-being.  They love it; see video How tab for evidence.  😉 \n\n\n\n\nWhen: For availability\, more information and directions\, text Lisa at (831) 227-9847

SUMMARY:An intentional gathering designed to help process the challenges of life as a mom
DESCRIPTION:Mom Parts Salon: An intentional gathering designed to help process the challenges of life as a mom\nSaturday\, March 8\, 3 – 5pm \nHi Santa Cruz area moms! \nEnjoy a guided 5 step process to gain clarity\, self compassion and acceptance of all your “parts.” If you’ve seen the Pixar film Inside Out\, you’re acquainted with the idea of having multiple parts inside of you who feel and believe and react in wildly different ways. For moms\, this can often look like Rage\, Panic\, Resentment and Supermom parts. Motherhood is a rough gig and moms need more emotional support. \nWill you join me\, Jessica Tomich Sorci\, LMFT (specialist in IFS and motherhood) for an in-person Mom Parts Salon at Monarch Pilates on March 8th? \nWorking with our Mom Parts within a group setting is an incredible opportunity to learn about why you react the way you do and the wisdom of your system of parts. The 5-step process I created will help you deepen self-compassion and make sense of the parts of you that scare you – and the ones you don’t like – and the ones who are exhausted and ready to throw in the towel. There is hope. \nYou can stay completely private OR share aloud with the group – either way\, I’m certain you’ll gain new insights and maybe even make a friend.
