The Horse-Human Connection: Focus on PLAY & SEEKING

What can horses teach people about emotions?  How do horses function as “living bio-feedback” to facilitate humans to move from merely surviving, to truly thriving?  In this workshop you’ll  learn how Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy & Learning – EFP/L—changes the brain, helping people rebuild their neural networks for emotion.   Gentle, progressive exercises with horses assist people to identify the early stages of “Blue-ribbon emotions”- brain circuits for FEAR, PANIC, RAGE and also for PLAY, SEEKING, and CARE.  Horses show people that through awareness they have a great deal of choice about which emotions they experience and cultivate. Enjoy more time in PLAY and SEEKING.

Note: This workshop approaches EFP/L  from both a cognitive and an experiential level.  Participants will learn about EFP/L and how it works; they will also experience EFL to find out that it works.  This workshop is best for professionals and others who are interested in finding out more about EFP/L and who might be interested in incorporating horse work into their own profession in some way.

Finding Freedom: HEAL Personal Growth Intensive

Heal your past and find new ways of thriving! Like faulty computer programs, unresolved history tends to repeat itself with unconscious responses and defenses to other humans.  This is where a horse comes in. These large, inscrutable partners command our respect, yet we can absolutely trust their honesty and non-judgment. Horses help us connect to the natural joy of being that is our birthright. They can help us learn how to create safe, authentic and appreciative relationships within the human circle as well.  This 2-day intensive provides an experiential immersion in the practice of higher consciousness using the tools of positive psychology.   Horses respond reliably to the clarity of our intentions, to compassion and most remarkably to our emotional self-awareness.

Note: In the personal growth intensive Leigh will coach and guide people in an immersion experience with their equine partners.  There will be very little cognitive teaching about EFP/L; the course will be essentially 100% experiential.  This allows participants to go deep, working in safety and trust toward emotionally corrective experiences with the horses.  This course is best for those seeking an opening and healing process in personal change and growth.
