We are honored to announce a new offering coming to White Feather Farm this summer in partnership with Rescue for the Misunderstood.
On June 27th, we will be hosting Little Guardians - a heart-centered humane education workshop for children designed to nurture compassion, emotional awareness, respectful animal interaction, and connection to the natural world.
This gentle, farm-based experience invites children to slow down, observe, listen, and learn alongside carefully selected dogs in a calm and supported environment.
Throughout the day, children will explore:
Canine body language and communication
Respectful and safe interaction with animals
Emotional awareness and self-regulation
Nature connection and observation
Kindness, patience, and giving space
The quiet kind of bravery that comes from staying soft and aware
The workshop includes guided humane education, grounding exercises, creative integration activities, a gentle farm hike, and supervised interaction with dogs, all thoughtfully woven together throughout the day.
Little Guardians was created as both a children’s book and an immersive humane education project. This workshop is intended to help children deepen the kindness, awareness, and connection they already carry within them.
