Description of Services


Heartland Farm Sanctuary is a non-profit organization based in Madison, Wisconsin. Our mission is to inspire compassion for all beings by offering a safe, welcoming space where people and farm animals come together to experience growth, healing and connection.


Heartland Farm Sanctuary also offers Experiential Therapy. Experiential therapy isn’t “typical” therapy. Instead, it’s the ability to approach the needs of the participant in a way that allows them to express themselves through exploration, authenticity, compassion, creativity and the development of experiences where a real sense of belonging can occur.


At Heartland, therapy participants each work with a designated therapist– a certified or licensed professional– during their therapy sessions.  All activities are done with the guidance of their therapist, and with the intent of helping participants reach their therapeutic goals.  


These goals may include increasing coping skills, learning to better regulate and express emotions, practicing self-advocacy, building social and community involvement skills, and setting boundaries. 


Experiential Therapy at Heartland is a good fit for children and young people who enjoy being outdoors and around animals, as well as those who may struggle to express themselves verbally.  Our sanctuary’s unique environment and therapeutic experience often allow participants to open up and heal in ways that they’ve struggled with elsewhere.


Please note: Public and private visits must be scheduled ahead of time. Heartland is not open for drop-in visits.
