EQUINE-GUIDED EMPOWERMENT®

These sessions guide the client back to their true nature, their home within, which is always present and accessible. Through somatic embodiment, these sessions will reawaken each person’s instincts, intuition, and innate wisdom as the source from which each of us draws strength, clarity, purpose, and direction. With the horses as the true guides and Amanda’s facilitation of somatic activities, clients see themselves through the non-judgmental, forgiving eyes of the horse and learn how to ground themselves, claim space, hold ground, and listen to their instincts. From this place of deep knowing, which is separate from the intellect, insights emerge. As an Equine-Guided Empowerment® facilitator, Amanda is a mastery practitioner in The Reflective Horse® modality, trained by Cassandra Ogier in California, USA. Amanda’s role is to create the container and hold space for the process of self-discovery, healing, and deep knowing to unfold as each client interacts in freedom with the herd at Quinta Nova. These sessions are offered to adults and teenagers and can be conducted privately or in groups.

HOMEWARD COLLECTIVE

When someone feels drawn to horses, either through previous experience or none at all, there are few opportunities to be with horses other than to go to a riding school or boarding facility. Unfortunately, if someone goes directly to riding horses, the horse does not have the freedom to choose if and how s/he wants to interact and build a relationship first. The Homeward Collective is course taught in 3 Modules to learn the hands-on work with horses 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, training, 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

Module 2: Trust and Communication (includes groundwork and supported riding)

Module 3: Partnership and Attunement (includes groundwork, supported riding, and independent riding for those ready)
