What is an Equine Guided Education ?
In it’s simplest form, EGE integrates equine interactions, somatic experiences, and cognitive reflections in a unique process of personal development.
Time with horses, like time in nature, is soothing for our nervous system and brings us into the present moment.
Communing with Horses in Nature, is a highly effective way to invite healing, welcome learning and experience growth.
As an equine guided educator, I employ a variety of healing modalities and land based rituals that will support you to regulate your nervous system, release burdens of stress and overwhelm and explore NEW ways of being.
Imagine being able to think more clearly – feel emotions without overwhelm and experience more joy and greater peace.
Working with horses helps humans internalize how to discharge stress and connect with our wise intuitive selves.
Many people are captivated by the magnificence of horses.
Their power, strength, grace, beauty, freedom, wildness and curiosity, has captivated us for centuries. Horses have evolved from Beasts of Burden, to Cherished Partners in the healing and evolution of the human spirit.
Many of us are drawn to, and inspired by horses, and therefore compelled to listen to their messages.
Equine communication is often received with a much higher level of openness, then traditional feedback from another person.
There is no agenda with horses.
They hold no judgements, only curiosity. They meet you in the moment, as you are, animal to animal.
Horses are masters of self-regulation, of conserving energy, of establishing boundaries and honouring their limitations.
When we spend time with them in nature, we begin to experience ourselves differently.
Calm. Centred. Balanced. Present. Attuned. Regulated.
Their inter-dependant way of living; collaborative, creative, curious, confident, clear & kind – invites humans to explore a YIN or more feminine way of being.
All interactions with the horses begin on the ground.
At liberty, where both horse and human are free to move, be, connect and relate in their own way, and at their own pace.
You will be guided through somatic (body centred) practices, and land based rituals that connect body, with mind and spirit. The horses respond to how you show up, what the quality of your energy is like, and how present and centred you are.
They respond to YOU in the moment. They’ll offer non-judgemental feedback, and invite you to connect with your authentic self.
Guided interactions may include:
