Okizu (oak-eye-zoo) comes from the Sioux language and means unity, to come together, to heal from a hurt, to make whole.The mission of Okizu is to help all members of families affected by childhood cancer to heal through peer support, respite, mentoring, and recreational programs.

Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing rescue/sanctuary for horses and other farm animals in which they can heal and thrive, and in which they in turn help us to heal and thrive. To this end we host classes in animal centered healing arts and wellness; humane and kind horse and dog training methods; advanced certification in equine assisted psycho therapies; and a safe and friendly environment for children and adults with autism, alzheimers, cancer, and mental/emotional challenges to learn, grow and enrich their lives. The animals help to teach us about connection, relationships and family, lessons we can carry into our daily lives to be happier, healthier and more responsible members of our local community and even internationally.
