The Equus Experience
AS HUMAN BEINGS WITH COMPLEX MINDS, WE SPEND MUCH OF OUR TIME ATTEMPTING TO MAKE SENSE OF OUR LIFE EXPERIENCES THROUGH MENTAL PROCESSING.
This can work in our favor as we generate plans for our future or attempt to solve a problem by exploring various points of view. Yet we can become stuck in our thinking, especially when things don’t go as we’ve planned, and the answers that we hoped would be clear suddenly appear unfocused.
What transpires is often a lost connection to the deepest and truest part of who we are.
THE EQUUS EXPERIENCE IS ABOUT REAFFIRMING OUR CONNECTION TO SELF. IT IS ABOUT LEARNING TO ENGAGE NOT JUST THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE MIND, BUT THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE BODY AS WELL.
Horses have an incredibly sensitive nervous system that allows them to provide direct feedback regarding our congruence and leadership. These exquisite creatures offer us a mirror through which we can witness in real time how the way we communicate affects the world around us.
A horse will never lie nor will it become attached to the stories that are so easily crafted in our minds. That’s what makes them the most fantastic coaching partner ever.
