Introduction to Healing Connection
Course Overview
(We're excited to meet you!)
Week 1: We'll build skills for self-awareness and self-regulation, learning to feel and release our emotions. The horses will assist through biofeedback as we practice breath and bodywork techniques for stress release.
Week 2: We'll consider intimacy vs distance in relationships, practicing how to set healthy boundaries with horses and how to protect our own space (both physical and emotional). We'll discuss how and why boundaries are actually the "glue" of relationships!
Week 3: This session will help teens deepen the emotional/spiritual connection with their equine partners. We'll learn how meditation, journaling, and other techniques can extend a calm compassion not only to ourselves but to others. Participants will experience what it feels like to have a "heart-reader" at their side as the horses respond to deeper emotions.
Week 4: Our final class will focus on finding the flow: using rhythm to create physical and emotional balance in our lives. Teens will lead their equine partners through a short obstacle course, learning to keep the connection with their equine partner and practicing emotional regulation in a variety of circumstances.
