Horse Wisdom for Everyday Life
La Center, Washington – Facilitated by Willow Moore DC, ND, Eponaquest Instructor
Envision your life aligned to your vision and values, connected deeply to your passion and life purpose. We will work with horse wisdom to gain a new perspective allowing us to restore our natural energy flow, free our authentic power and creativity, and realize a deeper connection to ourself and others! Horses provide instant, non-judgmental feedback on your non-verbal communications, guiding you to become more authentic, congruent and able to act from your deepest heartfelt self.
This introductory-level workshop is designed to improve horse/human relationships, strengthen connection to the intuitive authentic self, and bring awareness to our shadow side and old survival patterns of behavior that block our natural desire to move from surviving to thriving. The workshop will include the following basic Eponaquest philosophies, skills, and activities:
- Increase connection and trust
- Using emotion as information
- Use energy & power appropriately
- Accessing a more authentic, intuitive presence
- Recognizing and moving beyond conditioned behaviors and thought patterns
- Enhance emotional agility and emotional intelligence
- Tap into personal wisdom
- Boundaries: Establishing and maintaining clear and consistent personal space
- Body Scan: Using the body as a sensing device
- Develop a deeper connection to yourself and others
- Hands-on activities with horses as guides
This workshop meets the Eponaquest prerequisite for an introductory workshop for individuals who wish to do advanced work at Eponaquest, including the Apprenticeship Program. It is appropriate for emotionally secure individuals who are seriously interested in exploring the transformational potential of human-horse interactions. No prior equine experience is necessary. All activities with horses are ground-based in an enclosed arena or round pen, there is no riding. No auditors are permitted.
“A tremendous boost in self-esteem and confidence comes from learning how to establish boundaries and direct a one thousand pound creature through mental focus, presence and clarity of intent. These skills… have broader implications including increased success in personal relationships, career and parenting.” Linda Kohanov, Author, The Tao of Equus and other titles and Founder of the Epona Approach to EFL
