Time on the Land

Feeling cooped up? Want to get out in nature with your family? Come out to visit animals out in nature for a breath of fresh country air! 

Dreamcatcher™ is offering “Time On the Land” visits to families or individuals who need to get out of the house or city.

Did you know that “Time on the Land” was started in the spring of 2020 to support individuals struggling with having to be socially distant from friends and family?
Founder and director, Eileen Bona opened the Dreamcatcher Nature Assisted Therapy property to let people connect to the animals and land during Covid-19.

Book a 1-hour time slot to come to the 40-acre Dreamcatcher™ property. This invitation allows families to meet the animals over the fence, bring a small picnic to enjoy with your family or spend time walking the trails on the property if you like.
Booking times are only available outside of Dreamcatcher™ client sessions and will involve one same household family at a time to ensure social distancing is inevitable.
Families are limited to same household members only and are no more than 6 people per ticket (only 1 ticket per family is required).

We also ask that you do not bring your pets to the ranch – as it is a safety issue for our animals and your pet.

Upon booking you will be asked to read all statements and provide completed answers for the following listed below for your registration to be valid:
​
• COVID Questionnaire.
• Adult Waiver
• Children Waiver
• Code of Conduct

These must be completed ahead of time! Click the links to get a head start and PLEASE read carefully!

Upon completing your registration through Eventbrite, you will be emailed the following:
• Notification of registration from Eventbrite
• Confirmation email from the administrator of Time on the Land outlining further details and guidelines for your visit.

If you have any questions, please email us at dreamcatcherTOTL@gmail.com or if you cannot attend, as a courtesy to the Time on the Land staff, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible, this is greatly appreciated.

Thank you and we cannot wait to see you from a distance!

Participants Needed for Research:

​“Connecting with Nature During COVID-19”

​Brooke Greenwood is a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology graduate student at the University of Lethbridge and invites you to partake in her research with Time on the Land, that looks at the effect of time spent in nature on emotional wellbeing during COVID-19.

Participants will be asked to book a 1-hour Time on the Land visit through Dreamcatcher™ ($35/group – a group can have 1-6 people), and complete two online surveys (15-20 minutes each). Participation is confidential and voluntary.
In appreciation for participants’ time, they can enter a draw to win one of four $100.00 prepaid Visa cards at the end of the second survey.

Time on the Land is run on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 am – 7:00 pm. Please book your visit anytime from now until November 30th, 2021.

If you are interested in participating in this study, or have any questions please contact Brooke Greenwood at brooke.greenwood@uleth.ca.
