GEP WORKSHOPS - 2011
Personal Development Saturday Workshops - with our beautiful herd of horses
These Workshops provide an intimate and safe space to explore and strengthen your own capacities in Self Awareness, Connection, and Leadership with Quiet Strength.
Our beautiful herd of horses will co-facilitate a journey for you to develop foundations for Health and Wellbeing.
Self Awareness - being aware of your breath, body experience, feelings and thoughts, developing awareness of the horses and what they are communicating to you, and developing capacities in relational awareness where you can 'meet' them without words.
Connecting or making Contact with Intention and Purpose -experiencing and reflecting on 'how' you make contact and perform a task with 'other' (the horses, and others in your life) - with self awareness, with relational awareness and truly listening and sensing into the needs, feelings and wants of the 'other', so that there is a heart connection that is not lost in the doing together.
Deepening Contact with Breath and Touch, Intimacy and developing Trust and Confidence - attending to oneself, the other, and the between (connecting), so that the contact deepens into connection, the connection deepens into relationship and the relationship deepens into Intimacy.
Leading from Quiet Strength - learning about leadership with others, or leading your own life, that leads with 'quiet strength', focus and purpose - finding your centre, energetic flow, supportive breath, posture and presence to lead creatively , whether from 'upfront', 'side by side or heart to heart' or 'from behind'. True leadership is manifested through one's inner strength, and embodied focus.

‘Connection and Leadership in your Horse Human Relationship’
This workshop is for people who have their own horse and want to focus on Connection and Leadership as essential foundations for their horse human relationship. It is focusing on the foundations beneath the ‘training’ . It will nourish the connection you have with your horse, and strengthen your awareness of your leadership style, the areas that are underdeveloped and those that are strong and serving you both well.
The day will be very experiential – predominantly held in the ménage space with your horse, and with intermittent breaks for discussion and lunch in the stable area. These will be small groups of 4 people only with their respective equine friend. The facilitated experiences will be predominantly on the ground, however, there may be one bareback experience for those whom feel interested and comfortable with this.
