This program can help you:

• Learn to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy relationships
• Improve your communication skills in relationships
• Gain awareness of blocks to intimacy
• Create better, safe, healthy boundaries
• Rediscover yourself

This program offers a unique experience. Horses are highly sensitive to people's emotions. For this reason, a horse's response to handling by humans can provide a compelling metaphoric experience for the handler. This program is for people seeking to discover more about themselves and how to better communicate and interact with others. Experience or knowledge of horses is not required.

The Healing Curriculum

Onsite's Equine Program is a gentle, yet powerful form of experiential therapy. This unique method combined with a serene setting provides a nurturing environment for you to make extraordinary strides in personal growth. During the 4½ day program, small groups work with group leaders and horses to improve each person's self-awareness, relationship patterns, communication and interpersonal skills. You'll learn the components of a healthy relationship and how to create safe, healthy boundaries. This process also helps you uncover the blocks in your intimate relationships, including your relationship with self.

Safety is of primary concern with the program's facilitators. Again, this program requires no previous experience with horses.
