Webinar: Following the Body Back to the Authentic Self
In a fast-paced world, we often lose touch with the innate wisdom and timing of our bodies—a disconnection that can leave us feeling fragmented and overwhelmed. Slowing down to truly feel and be with ourselves has become a rare practice, yet it is essential for rediscovering authenticity and aligning with our true needs.
Horses naturally offer a space for this reconnection. Their presence invites stillness, curiosity, and a deeper exploration of who we are. By working with horses, we can begin to trust our felt sense, rebuild the bridge between brain and body, and reconnect with the wisdom that guides us back to our authentic self.
This webinar will explore how to support clients in accessing their body’s innate wisdom, relearning to trust their experience, and fostering a harmonious connection between mind and body.
Key Topics Include:
The role of horses in facilitating somatic awareness and authenticity.
Techniques for guiding clients to reconnect with their felt sense.
Strategies for helping clients restore trust in their body’s wisdom.
Exploring the ways that equine-assisted approaches can help individuals return to themselves and live with greater presence and integrity.
Kind Regards,
Jane Faulkner
