DIVERSITY IN THE ARENA
Diversity and culture are a part of every interaction whether we are aware of it or not. True diversity experiences are difficult to work through since they cannot be separated from our own culture bound understanding of the world and those of others from different cultures. This workshop allows a look at culture through interaction with the horses, who have a language, social structure, and history quite different than any human. Attending to those cultural and diverse differences gives insight into how we travel through those issues in therapy sessions. The culture of the horse, the Equine Specialist, the Mental Health Professional and the participants are all present in sessions. The workshop will look at the diverse experience of the facilitating teams in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and how that can be used to assist others in Diversity Training experiences. This is a two day workshop experience.
