Personal Growth Through Equine Experiential Learning
Horses guide us to a deeper understanding of the mysteries of everyday life.
We all yearn to return to the knowledge of what is most basic and essential. Lost in our daily activities we miss the feelings of connectedness and purpose that we once knew. Time communing with nature awakens our hearts and souls and offers a path that bridges the two worlds, a spiritual path. Linda Kohanov writes in "Riding Between the Worlds".
Personal Development and Growth- The Way of The Horse
Experience your Self through unique interactions with horses that engage your senses and open your heart. When we learn to trust our hearts and our own inner knowing we can live authentically and joyfully, but before we can trust these sources we must first learn to reawaken our connection to them. Horses live in a state of connection to their intuitve guidance systems, their survival has depended on it. Unless it has been trained or beaten out of them, they rely on their intuition constantly. Horses have much to teach us about the value of living in the present and trusting our own intuition. They teach us to quiet our minds, seek states of stillness, and open our hearts so that we may hear the voice that lies in waiting within each of us, that over time has been silenced. When we reawaken our connection to our true Self we reestablish our path towards reclaiming our sense of wholeness so that we may live from the place that allows us to live fully, love fully, and dance to the beat of our own hearts.
"With any phenomenon that stretches the boundaries of consentual reality, people must see it to believe it... I myself was among them. ...the overriding theme of The Tao of Equus concerned my personal search for reasons to trust my own experience." Linda Kohanov
Individual and Group Experiences
Workshops and Private Sessions (click one to learn more)
One may experience this unique way of learning through small groups or through individual sessions. Workshop themes vary although they all include the basic principles of creating authentic community, learning to disguish between our false self and our authentic self, tools for setting and respecting healthy boundaries, understanding our unique guidance systems, and understanding the value of our emotions.
"The intuitive gifts and sensitivites of this nonpredatory species, combined with its natural penchant for cultivating authentic relationship, make Equus caballus especially well suited to acting as a catalyst and a mirror for innovations in human consciousness." Linda Kohanov
