EACL Overview
Why EACL?
Our Leadership and Team Building programs are truly experiential learning opportunities. This means you will not be ‘talking about’ leadership and high functioning teams, you will be ‘doing it’. Learning by Doing and Experimenting in the Here and Now. This is the most effective pathway for Integrated Learning. You can have all the knowledge in the world, however, if you have not transformed theory into practice, awareness into ‘right’ action, you cannot reach excellence and mastery, personally or professionally.
People experience real change through awareness, relationship and action, at a neurological level, with the development of new neural pathways and integration across the whole person. We can help you identify, explore and expand your capacities in the moment, in action with our relational masters – our herd of horses!
Why Us? EACL specialise in the application of equine assisted programs in Australia, for diverse client needs. Our facilitators are experienced, and offer ‘Train the Trainer’ Intensives for inexperienced facilitators.
Why Horses? Horses are wonderful, beautiful and large relational beings who live in connection with herds (family groups/ teams) and are prey animals with amazing awareness and sensing capacities. They rely on their awareness to survive and thrive. The horses’ herd, prey and play tendencies make them great relational partners for learning about relationship, leadership and authentic being. Interacting with horses, with skilled facilitation, offers opportunities for participants to receive non-judgemental feedback about existing behaviours and patterns, as the horses respond to each person and team uniquely. Clients can experiment with authentic contact, team connection and leadership development.
We can design team experiences for your unique team’s needs which will be – innovative, challenging and memorable.
We work ideally with Small teams up to 12, but we can work with Large teams and can design a program working with sub-groups.
