It is time for our community healers to make the time to receive healing themselves. Calling all healers and caretakers to join us to share space with horses for healing.
A 4-Part Equine Centered Retreat for individuals in the healing professions. We are offering a safe space for healers & caretakers to receive the space and guidance to heal with horses through an Equine Facilitated Learning experience (EFL)- Onward: Learn. Grow. Move.
Horses have a way of revealing who we are.
Living in herd communities has taught them to rely on non-verbal clues to communicate with each other and use their intuitive senses to interpret the energy around them. This means they are acutely aware of the emotional state and intentions of other animals around them - including humans. They can recognize when we are tense, unsure, or nervous and provide a safe, non-judgemental space for the release of emotions. They teach us the power of honesty, authenticity, and being present. *Please note there is no mounted riding involved.
Equine Facilitated Learning -We will invite up to two (2) persons at a time with Kristin (Hope), registered EFL practitioner* to share space with two (2) horses for an allotted time.
The horses are the teachers, we the people, are just here to facilitate the interaction… the parts below are a guide for each part. However, what ever comes up in your Onward session is what comes up and we will support you in interpreting it.
*Note Kristin (Hope) is not a licsensed therapist. We encourage you, if needed, to further your healing journey with a counselor or certified life-coach.
