Horse As Teacher:
Enter the world of the horse
and learn the art of listening
This immersion is for those who would love to learn more about the world of the horse and what horses are teaching you about yourself! This will not only be a deep dive into the world of the horse, but also into your own heart, and what the horse is reflecting and teaching you about your own heart. You will get HANDS ON exercises with the horses. Like all of my offerings, you get what you put into it! Come with questions and explorations, and these will be engaged as well as 1:1 exercises will be offered for you to bring into your world of horses on your own to reflect within. Topics to be explored Horses' invitation into Leadership Horses mirror of leadership. A horse will not be lead by someone who cannot lead themselves. They are sovereign bodied, embodied leaders of their own being, and in some cases-their heard. Receive the embodiment teachings of the horse. Energy Awareness/Body Language What is energy and how does this translate to horses How horses pick up on your energy/emotions How horses mirror energy/emotions What can we do about it? Being aware what you bring to the arena and why! The Dance of Partnership & Medicine Horse Wisdom How to partner with your horse/horses Medicine Horse Wisdom and the gifts horses bring to us Connection based on mutual trust and leadership Safety in Trust and Connection All our work together is based on the teachings of the horse and what this reflects within you. All my work with you and horses is predicated on the recognition that horses are instinctual beings, who are lead by their instinct-and thus safety, understanding of herd dynamics, and how to set boundaries with horses in safety-are foundational to working with them. It is important for me to establish this to anyone wanting to work with them. This experience is for everyone. I invite you to dive in deep with myself and the world of the horses! Payment: Venmo preferred @MichellePeterson444 If you can't make a class-you can always attend the next round later in the year. Horse experience not necessary. |
My walk with horses....
I have worked with horses of all shapes and sizes starting at the ripe age of 12 being hired at my barn to work with the misfits-the misunderstood horses, my favorites. It has been a big part of my path, my healing journey, and my own embodiment. I spent a lot of time laying in fields and watching horses in their natural environment with their friends to understand how to relate to them within our dynamic. I have been identified as a 'horse whisperer' although I call it a horse listener. I admittedly have been a bit in the closet about such a term, as I do not feel we whisper to horses..in fact, they really are whispering to us..and the medicine is in listening. I am humble to their teachings and forever a student. I also work in a therapeutic capacity with my own offering Medicine Horse Journeys which I developed in 2005 after my trainer in Equine Inspired Coaching guided me to create my own method because of the depth of knowledge and awareness I have with horses. My work with horses is about what they are teaching us. It's not about doing healing work or coaching beside them. It's about what they are showing us about ourselves. This is what I will be offering in my teaching as well as my book I am writing at present as well as in the creation of my training program for equine enthusiasts, therapists, and guides to help you better understand the voice of the horse and what they are showing us about ourselves! My passion is being a voice for the horse and this offering is just that. |
