The Horse Wisdom Project gives the participant the opportunity to interact with and learn from horses in new ways. Horses are excellent teachers who have unique insights to offer humans about resilience, personal strengths, non-verbal communication, and the powerful impact of changes in intention, behavior, and attitude. Each workshop is custom designed to meet the needs of the participants and involves non-riding activities with the horses followed by a facilitated discussion about how to take what you’ve learned from the horses into daily life.
