A lyrical form of devotion, and a powerful call to recognize wilderness and unadulterated open space as key to our humanity, especially in divisive and tech-addled times like today.

In between the doing, the busyness, the roles, identities and titles we uphold, there is a being. For a moment, as we are, in the now. Without responsibility. Without pressure. Without judgement.

At the foothill of a mountain, where wallabies play and kookaburras laugh, Solace and Sanctuary offers a range of facilitated on-ground horse, art and nature experiences, to enable a reconnect to self, and a discovery of connection to ourselves and others. Emotionally safe, seen and heard through narrative, gestalt and talk therapy. Reconnecting to the body through expressive art, sound  and writing therapies. Held by nature, supported through experiential learning and a team of co-facilitators, here to support you on your journey to change, acceptance and inner congruency. 

Located centrally in Chandler, Queensland, Sarah holds a Bachelor of Communications and is an equine assisted counselling therapist, with an interest in creating capacity for learning, growth and mental health through connection with self and others. 

Certified in Arenas for Change and trained as a Counsellor with AIPC, Sarah will support you in your encounters with the horses, our co-facilitators, rescued Mount Kosciuszko Brumby Foals, Boots and Cinnamon, supported by rescue labradors, Dave and Leo.

Guide your own story, and explore the role of silence in nature as a restorative offering to recalibrate, and release. Sometimes life brings us to a place we had not expected or planned to be. Give yourself a moment to process and find peace.
