  • Jasmin and Jan Pettke are renovating an old Enger farm to launch animal-assisted therapy sessions by 2026.

  • The farm will use animals like alpacas and horses to help individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, and dementia.

  • This therapy serves as a complement to traditional treatments, potentially reducing medication and speeding recovery.

  • Approximately €20,000 is still needed to fund construction, animal care, and accessibility features through donations.
    • The most important thing is to catch the people and give them a space for peace so that they can switch off from the constant pressure – the carousel of thoughts is broken.
