Introduction to Equine-Guided Empowerment®
Saturday, March 22, 2025: 9am to 4pm (with an hour for lunch)
€175 (includes IVA)
Limited to 6 participants
If you are curious about embodiment work, drawn to horses, beginning or deepening your healing practice, and want to spend a Saturday in nature with the herd, please join me in this 1-day Introduction to Equine-Guided Empowerment® and Somatic Reprogramming®.
Horses speak the language of embodiment: congruency of intention and expression.
We can’t talk about what we embody; we can’t intellectualize it; we can’t even visualize it. Embodiment is a practice, and only by engaging in the practice can you surface the ways in which your body expresses its wounds and joys; its limiting beliefs and strengths; its stories and its history. We greet and acknowledge those parts of ourselves, then we practice expanding beyond residual patterns and limitations into expression aligned with what serves us now. This is the work at the heart of Equine-Guided Empowerment® through Somatic Reprogramming®. The free-roaming herd of horses are our guides. They provide non-personal feedback, mirror where we are at in each given moment, and hold space for our return to self and our felt sense of innate wellbeing.
Homeward Collective: Embodied work with horses through Trust and Connection
Modules 1 and 2 currently in session.
New sessions of all modules starting in May!
For anyone who enjoys being with horses but doesn’t align with the approach or methods of most riding schools. For those who have been in connection with horses in the past, as a child or adult, and want to reconnect and learn in a supportive, natural environment where you are an active partner in building your awareness and confidence with horses.
In these small group cohorts you will work with horses through the lens of trust and connection, not control or dominance.
The arc of learning consists of 3 Modules; each module consists of 6 weekly sessions (2 hours each). Participants start with Module 1 and upon completion can opt to continue to the next modules.
Module 1: Safety, Agency, and Choice
In the first module you will learn how to safely be with the herd in freedom; hold ground and embody a clear "yes" and "no"; practice making requests and honoring consent; learn how to be a sturdy and trustworthy leader; and care for the horses in a way that honors their dignity and agency.
Module 2: Trust and Communication
In the second module you will build upon the skills of Module 1, moving into the realm of trust and clear, consistent communication. We will practice leading outside of the farm, learn beginning groundwork skills, and, if horse and human are ready, supported bareback riding on the lead.
Module 3: Partnership and Attunement (includes groundwork, supported riding, and independent riding for those ready)
€300 per module (12 hours)
4 participant limit per cohort
