PARENTING FROM THE BARN

Participants will learn parenting programming, activities, marketing possibilities and personal application and experience of the techniques. Paricipants will have opportunities for coaching through role play and discussion, and will utilize the horses and facility at PX Equine Enterprises Inc. or other appropriate equine facility host. The Parenting From The Barn Workbook is included in the cost of the two day workshop.

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.

N
on-judgmental Interventions Combining Knowledge, Experience, Respect & Reason, a one day coaching experience focusing on teaching and coaching the application of 8 teachable group facilitating skills.
