“This was such a beautiful experience! Relaxing and fun, no pressure whatsoever—just a warm and welcoming environment to explore, create, and enjoy. Highly recommend!” – Workshop Participant

I love bringing my mindful art workshops to different groups and facilities!  These workshops are a powerful way to slow down, reconnect, and experience horses in a new way.  Do any of these options sound like a fit for you?  

Workshops for groups

Are you part of a team or club that would enjoy this experience?  It’s a great way to relax, connect with horses, and  also deepen bonds within your group.  A private workshop can be held online or in-person at your barn with live horses.  Groups can register all at once with a group fee.  

Public workshops at your facility

Want to host a public mindful art workshop at your facility?  I’ll bring the materials, art instruction, and workshop design – you provide the location and a few relaxed horses for us to draw.  We’ll collaborate on promotion, gather registrations, and share the proceeds.  

Let’s talk!

“It’s a sweet space to let go of judgment and just bask in the details and movements of these incredible beings. If you can give yourself the gift of this session, do it.” – Workshop Participant

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

  1. How many people can attend the workshop? The workshop is for up to 20 participants at a time. It can be done with only a few people.  A group of around 10 works great. 
  2. Do participants need to have art experience or horse experience?  Nope! This workshop is for everyone—no prior art experience or horse experience required, just a willingness to try something new!  Past participants have included horse people and non horse people, artists and non-artists, all of which have enjoyed the experience and found it meaningful.
  3. What are the differences between the online and in-person workshops?  The workshop design is very similar whether we do it in-person or online. 
    1. The in-person version of the workshop has the benefit of the presence of live horses, which can really deepen the experience.  Art supplies are provided for participants.  The fee is higher, to cover the cost of supplies and to compensate the facility where it is held.
    2. The online version of the workshop includes videos to simulate the experience of being with horses live.  Participants provide their own art supplies.  This approach is also more accessible for many people who may not be able to attend in-person for various health or other reasons and provides the comfort of participating from their own space.  The fee is lower. 
  4. I don’t know anything about hosting an online workshop, is that okay?  Yes!  For an online workshop for your group, I will handle everything on the technical side, from setting up the event in Zoom to sending out connection details, to helping with technical questions during the workshop. 
  5. What kind of facilities could host the workshop in-person?  It’s ideal to hold the workshop at a place where we can watch and draw horses who are relaxed and at liberty, without too many other distractions.  That could be a private barn, horse rescue, breeding farm, therapeutic riding center, or other facility that has small turnout areas for horses near somewhere we can set up some tables and chairs.  We can also do the workshop without live horses, for example a classroom, library, or other meeting space.  When in doubt, contact me, and let’s get creative!
  6. If we do the workshop at my facility, what would I need to provide? The minimum you need to provide is: tables and chairs in a weather appropriate location (shaded/unshaded), some horses at liberty in a fenced area near the workshop area (this could be paddocks with single horses, a pasture with a group of horses, an arena, etc.), and restroom facilities.  Optionally, you could also provide drinks and refreshments and additional art supplies (crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc.).  For public workshops, you’ll also be asked to help promote the event to your community, through word of mouth, social media, etc.  You can use promotional materials provided by the artist, and/or create your own. 
  7. If we do the workshop at my barn, what would the horses involved be asked to do?  Just be themselves!  We will not enter the horses’ enclosures while drawing.  The goal is for the horses to just get to relax, rest, and be themselves.  Depending on the set-up, it can be handy to provide hay during the drawing time to encourage the horses to be nearby.
  8. What will you (Jeanne) provide?  
    1. For in-person workshops, I will provide art supplies, printed handouts, and all the instruction; and if applicable, registration and promotional materials.  
    2. For online workshops, I will provide the Zoom space, art materials list, follow-up handouts, and all the instruction.
  9. What do participants need to provide for themselves?  
    1. For in-person workshops, depending on our set-up, participants may be asked to bring their own drinks and snacks or it may be provided.  We will provide art supplies, but they can always optionally bring their own. 
    2. For online workshops, participants will provide their own art supplies, their own internet connection and place to connect from (it’s recommended to join from a desktop/laptop computer or tablet rather than a mobile device). 
  10. Can this workshop be included as one part of a longer event or retreat I am planning?   Yes!  Let’s talk options and get creative. 
  11. What happens if it rains?  We’ll plan in advance for a rain-out strategy.  That could be setting a “rain date” or having an indoor area we could move to (perhaps with drawing horses in an indoor arena or stalls) if needed.
  12. How much does it cost for a private group workshop?  Fees depend on whether it’s online or in-person, and your group’s needs.  A sliding scale is available—just reach out to talk options.
  13. How do you split the fees if we host a public workshop at my facility?  Typically, the hosting facility receives 20% of the net proceeds (after supplies and platform fees). We’ll decide the exact split based on what each of us provides.

“I’d never taken an art workshop before and was nervous—I’m terrible at drawing! But Jeanne guided us through such a fun and creative experience. I’m inspired to start drawing my horses and see where it leads.” – Workshop Participant
