We're so grateful for the wonderful response to The Grounded Woman. While registration is now closed, we hope to offer more opportunities to slow down, reconnect, and find your grounding. Stay connected for future gatherings!

Space is limited to 10 participants.

Presented by STAT Ligonier Therapeutic Center in collaboration with Village Center for Holistic Therapy.

Step away from the noise of everyday life and into an afternoon of stillness, connection, and gentle renewal.

The Grounded Woman is a two-hour wellness retreat inviting women to disconnect from daily demands, reconnect with themselves, and experience the grounding presence of nature and the equines at STAT Ligonier Therapeutic Center.

With no schedules to rush through or expectations to meet, the afternoon will unfold at a gentle pace, allowing you to explore each experience in whatever way feels most comfortable.

Your Afternoon Will Include

  • Sound bath and guided meditation

  • Gentle journaling and reflection

  • Mindful connection with miniature donkeys and ponies

  • Equine education and engagement

  • A comforting selection of warm teas

  • Time to simply breathe, be present, and enjoy the natural surroundings

There is no pressure to perform, accomplish, or keep up. Come as you are, put your phone away for a while, sip something warm, and allow yourself the space to simply be.

Your Retreat Guides

This special afternoon will be facilitated by Katie Ferm, MSW, LSW, an EAGALA-Certified Mental Health Professional and staff member of both STAT Ligonier Therapeutic Center and Village Center for Holistic Therapy, alongside Cat Markosky, owner and CEO of STAT Ligonier Therapeutic Center and an EAGALA-Certified Equine Specialist.

Together, Katie and Cat will create a warm, welcoming environment where connection, curiosity, and personal comfort guide the experience.
