Marce's support of Special Spirit grew from a lifelong connection with horses and a belief in the healing power of trust and presence.
Personal Story
Animals have always held an important place in my life, especially horses. That connection began when I was young and deepened again as an adult, eventually leading me to become certified in equine bodywork through the Masterson Method.
Through this work, I became involved with Special Spirit, an inclusive equine therapeutic center where children and adults build confidence, connection, and well-being through their relationships with horses.
At Special Spirit
In 2020, my horse Helen began a beautiful new chapter at Special Spirit, transitioning from her riding career into their Equine Assisted Therapy Program. While I miss having her as my riding partner, knowing that she continues to share her extraordinary gift with others brings me immense joy.
Helen has always worn her heart on her sleeve. She loves attention and happily embraces being the center of attention. She has a remarkable ability to connect with people in a way that feels personal and uniquely her own, instinctively adjusting her energy to those around her and knowing when someone needs encouragement, calm, or simply the unconditional acceptance that animals so naturally provide.
Whether in group meditation or spending time one-on-one with individuals, Helen creates a sense of trust and connection that leaves a lasting impression. I feel incredibly grateful that she continues to share her gentle, giving spirit with others.
I proudly support Special Spirit through sponsorship and regular visits, and I am honored to remain connected to an organization whose work reflects values I hold deeply: compassion, patience, trust, and the transformative power of connection.
