Notes from the nonprofit
Hochoka’s Healing With Horses program provides transformational education and improves the health and wellness of a person or family unit.Healing is specific to each individual and can take the form of physical, behavioral, mental, spiritual and or emotional processes. We also work with genetic healing, which focuses on healing events of our family which can create blocks to our growth. We are highly trained in crisis and trauma events. Participants learn: to communicate with respect and clarity process unpleasant emotions life skills self- awareness emotional intelligence integrity relaxation techniques empowerment/self-confidence responsibility The horses are a part of the program; however, it is not a riding therapy program. Riding can occur; after graduation to this respectful relationship.This program is curriculum based. The mission of Hochoka is to provide facilitated programs for self-growth through animals and nature; to facilitate wellness & wholeness.

Hochoka's new goals for 2019 and forward include still operating the Healing With Horses program offering this to private clients, organizations who wish to incorporate this type learning and healing modality within their organization, and to begin to develop in our expansion to new ownership of our land 2 new elements - 1) The Tiny House Project; and 2) The Alternative School. Both of these goals are being implemented at our new location. To assist with families who’s children learn differently, who have higher intelligence, or who aspire to be in an outdoor open classroom environment. Tactile, hands on learning - about themselves, life skills, and their focus on what they aspire to be as an adult in the work force. The Tiny House Project allows for less stress whereas having a place to call home, one is not tethered to a large mortgage; can live simply and therefore have more time to help others, grow their own life's work.
