Dreams do come true and we prove that the connection between humans and other living creature can be different!
After a long thought process, we embarked on a joint project with Oranim College.
As part of the students’ training program, they began an emotional therapy for children in the unique surrounding of the Freedom Farm Sanctuary. The students Efrat Rubinstein and Galit Belu are the first to lead the project.
Freedom Farm joined the revolution led by Oranim College’s program for emotional therapy in a model of mutual care.
In this model the emotional therapy is carried out in unique spaces that see the needs of animals without compromise. The patients arrive to an individual meeting with a student and the animals choose whether to attend the meeting or not.
The emphasis is on emotional work done through mutual contact, with a deep knowledge of the story and personality of each animal. It is important to emphasize that in this model, the connection is made with full respect of the freedom of choice of both humans and animals, there is no use of the animals but in the dynamic content that they invites in the unique encounter with them.
The animals of the freedom farms Sanctuary invite unique content for discourse such as the ability to overcome pain and injury, coping with physical or mental disability, trust in the other even after disappointment and injury, acceptance and friendship between me and those who are different from me.
Just as the animals choose whether to participate in the session or not, so are the patients. They can choose whether they need a quiet and intimate place for themselves, without other animals or with them.
For this specific purpose we set up a treatment room and thus brought the model of mutual care to an exciting new climax!
