depth, discovery and renewal for individuals and couples
THE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE OFFERS INDIVIDUALS AND COUPLES THE SPACE TO EXPLORE PERSONAL GROWTH ON A PROFOUND LEVEL.
This is an opportunity to disconnect from everyday life, allowing for time to process and reflect between sessions.
Spend 2 or 3 nights in the Cabin on the Prairie while experiencing extended Equine Gestalt sessions of 2 ½ – 2 ¾ hours with Linda during the day for individuals or couples. Between sessions, enjoy time to reflect, relax and enjoy the 80-acre property, operating barn with horses and pastures, conservancy pond and viewing station.
This is an experiential process and horses are at free will to interact with clients throughout the session. No horse or riding experience necessary.
Sometimes we feel stuck due to unresolved experiences. Immersives provide a focused and supportive way to move through these energetic blocks and reconnect with your sense of wholeness. It’s an opportunity to disconnect from daily life, allowing time for reflection and integration between sessions.
Below are thoughtfully curated experience templates designed to offer a clear sense of how you might engage with the work. Each one includes a suggested number of sessions and a general structure to help you envision the journey. While these are ready-to-go, know that your experience can be adapted so it aligns with your pace, comfort, and goals.
The Property
Come enjoy the 80 acre property of Soulful Prairies in Woodstock, Illinois. Take time to retreat in the quiet pines, commune with the fairies in the Fairy Forest, walk the labyrinth and trails and spend time with a horse, a goat, a pig and the natural wildlife on the property. There is so much of Soulful Prairies to enjoy and explore.

The premise of Gestalt is that we hold our own answers within and we are completely whole as we presently are. Linda’s Gestalt Practice allows clients to tap into their innate sense of who they are, through awareness. Often, unfinished business from an individual’s past can continue to create a reactionary state within. Through the experiential Gestalt process, this energy can be transformed and clients find the freedom to reconnect with their own inherent truth and wisdom.
