I have just completed my Term 2 course with ACE.  This course as every course had its own dynamics and focus, the special something about this group was their complete willingness to be present to themselves with the support of the horses.

This gave everyone huge opportunities to discover key information about themselves, i.e. their beliefs or repeat patterns of behaviour and how they create the results they do in their lives.

The discoveries of what they do in relation to situations was not much of surprise to most, what was surprising was how when interacting with others or focusing on projects not realising the impact their thoughts and behaviours have on others involved with them.  They simply did what they thought they should do regardless of others around them.  This lead many to question whether how they acted created a positive, nuturing environment, where everyone was valued for their input.

In playing with the horses participants acted out their patterns and actions while the horses reflected back to them how they were doing.
This gave everyone wonderful opportunities to experiment with new ways of doing things to see if that worked better or not.  What they all realised was as long as they were mindful of how their intentions towards others and the project at hand impacted each moment, they were able to create mutually enjoyable situations that were inspiring and motivating.

Heres what some of the participants had to say about what they liked in the course:

"Louise did a great job of holding the space as did the horses, Fabulous!".

"A thorough, clear and amazing course.  The break throughs made with self"
