Yes!  Equine-assisted coaching, through equine facilitated experiential learning (EFEL) is about partnering with horses to:

• Build on your potential in areas of work or life effectiveness
• Identify and fulfill your personal mission
• Address specific challenges related to work or personal life
• Make powerful improvements in areas of work-life balance, relationships, or personal well-being
• Build trust and discover your authenticity and power

Why Horses?

Because they are preyed upon in nature, these sensitive, mindful creatures have maintained a highly developed ability to respond to their environment. Subtle changes and nuances that we may not be aware of can provoke behaviors in them that give us information about ourselves. This helps us identify behaviors that impact our lives, relationships and careers in a negative way or keep us from moving forward. Through the authentic connection that horses require of us, we learn to clearly communicate our intentions. And they respond to this with trust and full engagement. Something that may be quite new to some of us; something that can be more fully present in our daily lives.

How Does This Work?

Equine-assisted coaching covers the basic philosophy and tools employed by Linda Kohanov and Kathleen Barry Ingram at the Epona Center at Apache Springs Ranch in Arizona. Other important and proven organizational development and one-on-one tools will be included. 

The individual sessions and workshops are a combination of reflective work, gentle body work to prepare you for the energy work with the horses, and experiential activities with the horses. There is reflective discussion and dialogue among participants after the experiential work, as well as an opportunity to identify and apply learnings to personal goals.

Each session and workshop is designed to help you reveal and explore your human potential for developing and manifesting a higher consciousness in your life, and to put this into powerful action. You can choose to work individually or with a group of up to 12 participants.

Prior horse experience is not necessary.  All of the exercises are on the ground—unless you decide to choose one of our workshops that are specifically for equestrians who would like to explore this work through riding.

During these sessions our equine partners will:

• Illustrate the essential skills for authentic community building
• Show you ways to set boundaries while staying connected and grounded
• Work with you to explore your Authentic Self and how this part of you does or doesn’t manifest in your life
• Help you to see how others see you
• Explore how you build relationships in your personal and professional life
• Show you the importance of being aware of and interpreting the messages behind your emotions . Identify and work with you and your self-limiting thoughts and behaviors

In addition, individual sessions or workshops focus on areas of special interest.
