    Horses as Healers Program

    11:00 AM-1:00 PM
    Sep/Tue/2026

    We’re excited to welcome back this program for fall sessions!

    Horses as Healers is an extraordinary healing program for those who have completed cancer treatment. Patients learn to groom, tack up, and ride horses under the guidance of Miwok Stable’s equestrian staff and trained volunteers. Each person learns new horsemanship skills and works at his or her own pace, interacting with one of eight especially gentle therapy horses. Participants report that the time is extremely the incredible emotional healing power of horses in one of Marin’s most beautiful outdoor settings.

    Location
    Miwok Equestrian Center 701
    Tennessee Valley Rd
    Mill Valley, CA 94941

    Your Ride is Waiting!
    This four-week program is free and open to MarinHealth cancer patients. Participants should be able to commit to attending each weekly session.

    Space is limited. To register, call 415-233-3618.

    Qigong for Health, Flexibility, and Wellbeing - Experienced Practice

    11:00 AM-12:00 PM
    Sep/Wed/2026

    QiGong is a form of gentle, exacting movement and still meditation that uses the breath and mind to work with the body’s energy (or Qi). The intention is to help patients regain a deep sense of trust in their bodies and to encourage an open, relaxed, and calm mental state that more readily allows self-healing. This class is best suited to cancer patients and those with chronic illnesses.

    Yuan Gong is an updated, gentle and effective practice of QiGong, a traditional Chinese healing system (the origin of T’aiChi). This class focuses on improving health and well-being and is appropriate for people experiencing cancer and chronic conditions. The class accommodates people with movement restrictions or even chair-based practitioners.
