We are very excited Adele is making a trip out West to share Jin Shin Jyutsu for Animal Companions in a two-day, introductory class at a beautiful equestrian facility in Reno, Nevada. Nestled at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains, we will spend a weekend learning this gentle healing art by first experiencing it ourselves through guided self-help and then practicing with other animal volunteers. Animals to work with will include resident horses, dogs, an elusive barn cat (class participation status unknown), chickens, and the bonus possibility of participants being able to bring their own well-behaved dogs to class. The facility, Balance Point Training and Wellness Center, teaches a holistic perspective about “the synergy between mental, physical, and emotional health, ensuring a truly balanced partnership between you and your equine companion.”  Please join us in learning about health, balance and partnership with animal companions in Reno this coming spring!    Early Bird price -  March 16 - $325.   Regular tuition  - $350

Discounted hotel class rate of $139 per night at the Reno Hyatt Place  / 13959 S Virginia St, Reno, NV 89511 ( pet- friendly). Reservation required no later than 30 days in advance.
