Horses have a magical way of providing a calm, supportive and completely nonjudgmental atmosphere for people to delve into themselves and explore sensitive issues for personal development and growth. As life can prove challenging at times, working with horses gives people a safe way to explore and find empowering strategies to resolve issues.
All our courses focus on the following three core elements:
Connection Communication Collaboration
The courses offer participants the opportunity to explore how to lead lives of purpose with clarity and meaning, how to be congruent with ones truth and the power of tapping into intuition.
The resulting feedback from the horses by way of moment-by-moment information, like looking into a mirror reveals valuable insights into deep-seated thoughts, beliefs and how they are expressed outwardly.
We offer courses and private sessions for individuals, corporate executives and team building.
The horses and I look forward to welcoming you soon!
Recent News» ACE Horse Sense for People WorkshopPublished 08/19/2008 Term 3 in the ACE Byron Shire progamme is well under way with the completion of another very successful Horse Sense for People course. The last session was yesterday - Monday the 18th of August, culminating with everyone excitedly anticipating how putting what they had learned in the previous sessions together in the games set for the day.
The results everyone got were perfect for where they were in that moment in time. The question became; What needs to happen first when things don't work out as you had hoped?
Everyone discovered that connection to the horse and themselves was the basis for everything. When the game wasn't working it became imperative to restore the connection between horse and human to effectively play the games. Participants then put into practice their newly learned skills of how to restore the connection from previous sessions. When the connection was strong the games became effortless and a beautiful harmony could be seen between horse and human. Both parties were also having heaps of fun!
For me I learned so much about how we can get our boundaries confused with dominance/submissive thoughts and body language. When dominant or submissive thoughts and gestures were in action a sense of space between horse and human was lost creating struggle and lots of difficulty. When participants were able to create boundaries and hold that with a strong sense of trust then a soft spaciousness between horse and human was very natural creating a willingness between both parties to help each other out.
Well done everyone, and thanks for supporting the ACE Byron Shire Community College! Here are some comments from participants:
'A wonderful experience and enlightening. What I liked most about the class to was to learn to become more aware of boundaries and contact. Gayle
A very patient, skilled teacher in a nice environment. I liked how to create trust in the horse and myself and connecting to an animal. Dorothea
