SACRED SPACE: THE ZONE OF INTUITIVE KNOWING
East Sussex, United Kingdom
Exploring the Scientific, Psychological and Spiritual Dimensions of Equine Facilitated Learning and Psychotherapy
Sunday 22nd – Tuesday 25th May 2010
COST: £895
Led By Kathleen Barry Ingram MA co-creator of The Epona Approach ™
This workshop is for people interested in the subtle energetic connections between all of life. We exist interdependently in relationship with all in the invisible web of the quantum field. Horses, as consummate teachers, can show us how to re-discover, connect and develop our “knowing” selves. The Zone of Intuitive “Knowing” comes directly from the ‘brain in the gut’ and the ‘brain in the heart’, and informs and integrates this “knowing” with our neocortex, thus allowing for conscious choices in the present moment. This workshop includes experiential exercises with the horses that engage our innate abilities to use these organs of perception. We can choose to enter the Zone of Intuitive “Knowing” through direction from these powerful centers of intelligence in concert with the intelligence centered in the brain. When fully grounded we are able to extend our self-awareness into all aspects of daily life and live authentically each moment with tangible success.
Suitable for business and life coaches, counselors, psychotherapists, healing therapists (any discipline), teachers, business managers, trainers and consultants, all horse professionals or anyone interested in human growth and development. This is a non riding workshop. (This workshop can be used as a qualifying workshop for approved EAP/FEAL Qualification Training)

TRANSITIONS: MOVING BEYOND LIMITING BELIEFS
August 14-15, 2010
Parker, Colorado
Is it possible, I asked myself, that I am being summoned from some deep and holy place within? Am I being asked to enter a passage in the spiritual life- a journey from false self to true self? Am I being asked to dismantle old masks and patterns and unfold a deeper, more authentic self- the one God created me to be? Am I being compelled to disturb my inner universe in quest of the undiscovered being who clamors from within?
When the Heart Waits Sue Monk Kidd
Come to this workshop and let Kathleen, Donna and her herd of horses’ help you remove obstacles standing in the way of YOUR best life.
For two days in beautiful Parker, Colorado we will engage with the horses, experience new ideas, share with each other, and encourage new behaviors and thoughts for lasting change. Every transition begins with an ending. If we can understand our old coping mechanisms, ones which helped us to survive but no longer help us thrive, and be in the present moment we can take the next step towards our full potential.

COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM-October 24-29,2010
November 20, 2009 by Kathleen
COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP TRAINING FOR EQUINE FACILITATE LEARNING
October 24-29, 2010
Eve B. Lee and Kathleen Barry Ingram, leaders in the field of Equine Facilitated Learning, invite you and your partner on a journey of self-discovery and mutual collaboration. Our work, separately and together as working Partners, has shown us that an alliance with the horses and a solid truthful Partnership can only be created and maintained by following the horses’ leadership and guidance. It is the love, respect and trust we have with the horses, that allow us to carry this work forward to other people and horses.
What makes a successful Partnership? What are the necessary ingredients underlying a dynamic relationship? What creates an authentic bond between partners that allows the best of both to emerge in the round pen? When partnerships aren’t working, what steps can be taken to re-establish rapport and encourage the personal growth of both partners?
We have found it our privilege and honor to work with people and horses to raise our consciousness and our personal awareness as humans living during these challenging times. Together, with the horses, we are making this offering of assistance to interested facilitators and their working Partners for the development, refinement, and implementation of a successful Equine Facilitated Learning Practice. This alliance is one of cooperation and collaboration with their equine colleagues which aims for synergy where each partner finds that the benefits of the alliance are greater than those found from individual efforts. A strategic alliance is a formal relationship between two or more parties (the horses) which is established to pursue a set of agreed upon goals to meet a specific need or demand. The program will offer guidance, teachings, practice, and insights on how this can be accomplished and maintained.
The program will emphasize the most recent research on the importance of relationships in learning, the limbic system, implicit knowing versus explicit knowledge, and the latest scientific information available to validate and affirm the intuitive knowing received from the horses.
Our work together is guided by The Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers (www.grandmotherscouncil.com) a group of women working together for the betterment of all of humanity. Their mission statement follows:
The grandmothers believe that only culture derived from nature’s laws will survive. Without a deep connection to nature, our consciousness and our politics will inevitably be flawed. But when we are connected to the natural world, we cannot help but see the beauty within ourselves and everywhere else. With the deluge of negative information in the world today, it is heartening to consider the possibility that opening ourselves to beauty, hope, and connection may be the most healing action we can take. (Utne Reader, November 2007)
We look forward to having you join us and the horses at Loghaven in this endeavor! www.equinemagic.com and www.sacredplaceofpossibility.com
For Full Program Description Read on:
FACILITATED BY: Kathleen Ingram and Eve B. Lee at Loghaven, Antioch Illinois www.equinemagic.com
Pre-requisite: Participation in an approved EFL workshop for those working with individuals practicing EFL.
COST: $1,500 (per participant)
After participation in an introductory workshop, persons applying for the Partnership Program are to complete a simple questionnaire obtainable from Kathleen kathygram@cox.net. Those passing this initial paper screening will be interviewed by Kathleen Ingram. www.sacredplaceofpossibility.com
The concept and idea for this program comes out of our desire to support partnership and collaboration for instructors/facilitators coming from approved EFL programs with their partners in business. Partners include individuals through marriage, significant relationships, and long term working relationships. The individuals applying for this program are interested in working with graduate facilitators and want to obtain more personal knowledge of the concepts and principles behind this approach to working with horses and people.
The program takes the partners through all of the processes we employ to build authenticity in community, develop and enhance horse skills, and introduce energy work. They will also learn about the underlying psychological principles as they apply to working with horses and teaching the reflective round pen experience. The benefits and the challenges of co-facilitating with another person and the horse will be thoroughly taught and practiced. This will include the dynamics of relationship and the principles and practices of collaborative partnership.
Eve Lee will take the participants through the basic teachings of shamanic practices and give them opportunities to journey through her guidance and direction.
Our purpose is to enhance the partnership for a thriving and successful equine facilitated learning practice.
