Refinement of Your Practice
Lisa Murrell, Johanna Husta and the Equine Alchemy herd, www.equinealchemy.com hosted Kathleen for 2 days of continuing education for practioners of equine facilitated learning. Working with Lisa and Johanna and their fabulous herd of horses was so fulfilling for everyone. Among some of the topics discussed and the highlights were recent research on the 3 brain theory of learning; limbic revision and regulation; the differences and comparisons of Equine Facilitated Learning, Equine Psychotherapy, and Equine Assisted Coaching; working consensually with the horses online; leading exercises to determine primary communication styles; and facilitator’s experinces and the lessons they have received from their individual work with horses. Johanna Husta, jhusta@hotmail.com, demonstrated useful horse exercises which are very congruent with EFL work. Attending were Diane Molony from Florida dwmolony@aol.com; Laurel Boyer from Colorado www.gypsywindranch.com; Helene Bernier & Sylvain Poirer from Quebec www.ecuriesnamaste.com; Ruth LeCocq from Jersey,UK www.equustoo.com and Giselle Faubel from Florida www.drfaubel.com

February in Toronto
Kathleen traveled to Toronto, Canada to work with Wendy and Andre Golding’s, www.horsespiritconnections.com, 2009 FEEL training class. The psychological/spiritual aspects of Equine Facilitated Learning and practice in Reflective roundpen were the primary teachings for the two days with Kathleen. The class of 8 and the instructors, Wendy, Andre and Victoria Poe, felt this was definitely valuable and prepared the class for their work in equine facilitated learning. Ann Frohman, Christy Clarke, Colleen Cochrane, Debbie Sexsmith, Janis Mirynech, Marianne Bertrand, Melissa Woudstra and Suzanne Latchford took part in the 2 day training with Kathleen and also participated in the 3rd day when Wendy presented an excellent exercise to assist the students to Create Their Vision for their practices. Gael Crystal Light Warrior gave a very informative presentation on Shamanic Medicine, www.shamanicmedicine.ca and possible applications to the EFL work.
Kathleen will be going back to Tornonto next February to teach the new class of students. Here are a few pictures of the class, horses and instructors.
