Healing Ourselves through the Way of the Horse
July 20, 2008 by EveBLee
This three-day introductory Equine Facilitated Learning workshop provides an opportunity for interacting with the Loghaven Appaloosa herd to experience the healing power of horses. Using the archetype of Chiron the Wounded Healer as a guide, participants will explore ways of overcoming personal issues and accepting the lessons life has given. Chiron has become a symbol for the great wisdom and healing power for others that arises from the pain that has been borne. Horses have the ability to reflect our experiences of abandonment and wounding by the arrows of life so that healing begins.
Activities will include reflective round pen work with the horses, guided meditations, a
journey ride on horseback (no experience required), creative expressions of the messages behind emotions and false self voices, and a cleansing and releasing ceremony. Svaroopa Yoga will begin each day, and individual intensives with the horses can be scheduled before or after this workshop. Participants will have an opportunity to experience a sweat lodge ceremony in honor of the Fall Equinox during this workshop.
