Life and Transition Coaching for Transformation 

Life/Transition coaching to facilitate the transformations you desire in your life.  Job/career change, relationship change, location change, or change in life directions create the need to transform our thoughts, attitudes, or ways of being in order to bring happiness and joy into our lives.  By tapping into your own inner wisdom and calling upon the universal abundance available to each of us, each transition has the potential for greatness.  I can help you find the path you want to take and help guide you on your journey.

Available over the phone.   1:1 face to face available locally.

Contact Holli for specific needs. I can develop customized programs.

Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning and Life/Transitions Coaching are not therapy.  There is also Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy, but this is not it.  If you would like to work with a therapist, I will gladly give you a list of suggested individuals to work with.  I can also set up some time to work with you and your therapist utilizing the same exercises and learning experiences.  This could be done on an individual basis.  If you have any clinical conditions that require a licensed therapist to be present these group workshops are not right for you.  The focus of these workshops and any coaching session is for personal growth; which includes expanded awareness, personal power, empowerment, balance, and relationship building to name a few.  It is not for clinical treatment.
Contact me if you have any questions.

 

 

 

Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning Workshops

All workshops are kept small to provide individualized attention and to allow adequate processing time.  Due to this there is a 50% non refundable deposit (unless your place can be filled) required at registration.  This applies to workshops & individual sessions.  If you cannot make it, but your spot can be filled, 50% of the deposit will be refunded.

2010 Schedule

 

 All Workshops based upon the

Epona Approach™

 

Custom Workshops are available.  All workshops are limited to 6 participants unless otherwise noted.

 

 Most workshops are set up to accommodate all types of participants; equestrian and non-equestrian alike.  No previous horse experience required unless otherwise noted.  Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning is not about being an expert around horses; it is about allowing horses to co-facilitate personal growth and exploration.  By tapping into the innate wisdom of these magnificent creatures who are emotional geniuses and energetic magicians, we have the opportunity to exponentially expand our inner and outer awareness. 

 

Give yourself this gift; it is like nothing you have ever experienced!

Sacred Place of  Possibility

 

 

Limited to 14 participants.


Earthwalk™ (Standard and Advanced)

 

Earthwalk™; Remembering the WAY through horses.  This is our annual workshop co-facilitated by Kathleen Barry Ingram (co-founder of the Epona Approach™).  We are all here on this Earthwalk™ with the knowledge and wisdom we need to experience what we are here to experience.  Horses help us remember our interconnectedness to all things.  In this workshop you will reconnect to your inner wisdom, rediscover your personal sanctuary, and reclaim the sacred space of possibility.  You will develop a personal relationship with the silence. 

 

Earthwalk™ is offered annually based upon interest.  In these challenging economic times we are remaining flexible, alert, and willing to flow with whatever is presented to us.  Therefore, dates and specific details are not available at this time.  If you are interested in having the opportunity to work with Holli and Kathleen in this amazing way, please contact Holli and we will discuss.

Eye to Eye™ 

 

Eye to Eye™ is more than an introductory workshop.  Although all of the foundational points will be covered, we will also be exploring the horse’s “perspective” through the use of spirit horse masks.  Each participant will be able to embellish and take home a mask.  “SEEING OTHER POINTS OF VIEW” will be emphasized. This counts as an Epona introductory workshop which allows the participant to attend an advanced workshop here or at Epona.
