Our 4-day certification training provides in-person, hands-on experience of experiential facilitation and coaching methods, so that you can facilitate EAL programs for corporate training, team building, leadership development, coaching, personal development and youth. We take you through the process step-by-step. You’ll facilitate EAL activities as well as learn how to design and conduct effective EAL programs that provide lasting impact with clients.
Each training typically has 8 - 12 participants, so this is a highly personal experience with the trainers and other participants.
Pre-Study: This is an accelerated training program with a Pre-Study to complete prior to the training. We've intentionally designed the training so we can move quickly and spend much of our time together with the horses doing activities and practicing facilitation. The Pre-Study includes a document that we provide (with the training curriculum about 40 days before the start of the training) along with these two books that we've integrated into our curriculum:
Certification: After attending the training and if you've meet all the requirements for certification (documented within our training curriculum), you have 6 months to complete the certification self-test. These test results along with facilitation skills demonstrated during the training program will determine your certification status. This is a lifetime certification; you choose your future professional development, which we encourage, but it's not required to maintain your certification status, like many other equine assisted certifying organizations. We believe in earning your continuing education investments. We also don't require ongoing membership.

Our 1-day mindfulness training provides in-person training to learn experientially how to facilitate mindful meditations, mindful leadership, and other mindfulness activities with horses. Experience a mindful day as you experientially learn how to facilitate Mindfulness and Mindful Leadership EAL programs. Clients are seeking programs to help them find greater balance, better ways to manage stress, self-care, and more heart-centered interactions based on compassion and empathy. There's a movement in the business world for programs to improve employee well-being along with organization culture, productivity, and competitive advantage. Mindful Leadership programs provide all of this. Offering mindfulness EAL programs is a great way to expand your EAL program.
Mindfulness involves simply maintaining focus in the present moment while being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling without judgment. Horses are the best mindfulness teachers because they live mindfully in the present moment, typically in a coherent state. They offer an active mindful experience that's very different than typical mindful meditation experiences and clients love these experiences. Facilitating these heart-centered experiences is personally rewarding for all involved.
There's a movement in the business world for programs to improve employee well-being along with organization culture and productivity to support a competitive advantage. Mindfulness programs aide teams with employee well-being.
This program can be taken independently of our certification training; prior certification is not required. No experience with mindfulness or meditation is needed.
Each training typically has 8 - 16 participants.
