EquineCounsel | About the Work

About the Work:

Horses are consummate facilitators in the work of human development. Their size alone inspires a heightened state of awareness. These intelligent, sensitive creatures respond to both positive and negative changes in a person’s behavior, offering constant feedback and timely rewards or consequences for their actions. Horses are social creatures who readily and honestly respond to the challenges inherent in forming and sustaining relationships.

Through a series of specially designed activities and education, participants in Equine Experiential Learning deepen their awareness of personal beliefs, strengths, and challenges which influence their ability to reach their greatest potential.

Equine Experiential Learning allows you to explore:

• Emotional agility and cultivating emotional intelligence. Horses teach us how to transform emotion into useful messages that can guide our lives in positive, meaningful ways. Emotional agility involves accurately identifying emotions and understanding the message they convey to us. In this way clients learn how to move in and out of emotions with fluidity, confidence, and increased awareness.

• Learn to distinguish between the False Self, or "Critic", and the Authentic self. As we learn to differentiate between these two "selves" we are able to listen to the "critic" without letting it run the show, while cultivating an ability to hear and respond authentically to our Authentic Self.

• Skills which deepen multi-sensory awareness

• Creating clear intention and boundaries

• Identify patterns and beliefs which restrict potential

• Cultivate authentic community

• Acknowledge and honor your creative, intuitive self

• Reflective interaction with horses

* Previous experience with horses is not necessary. Horse professionals, novice riders, and people who have no experience with horses can all benefit from this work.
