Equine Guided Education: Horses Healing Humans Healing Earth

This book is a comprehensive resource on equine interactive practices, nature based learning and somatic coaching. Equine Guided Education (EGE) is profound, magical, and dramatically effective. EGE incorporates horse activities into coaching and therapy models that are set in natural outdoor settings. Interacting with horses provides experiences that train new skills in intuition, sensory awareness, and somatic sensibility.

These non-linear forms of intelligence (EQ) are needed in these times of change and uncertainty and apply to people from all walks of life. Ariana, a pioneer in the field of Equine Experiential Learning, founded Equine Guided Education in the 1980's and co-founded Strozzi Institute (now known as Strozzi Somatics). She has been training professionals in EGE longer than anyone else. This instructive and thorough book is full of the essential tools needed to be successful in the equine, experiential, nature based healing professions. It is required reading in Ariana's SkyHorseCEGE(TM) programs and many other self-development and coaching processes.

The principles in this book are universal to Equine Assisted Learning, and Equine Facilitated Therapy. If you call the equine-human relationship by another name, simply transpose the term EGE. This book is also a valuable resource for coaches, educators, and healers who want to bring a more natural, intuitive approach to their practice. EGE is the essential component that has been missing since we took our education indoors whether it be pre-school or leadership development.

Various chapters include detailed explanations of the role of the horse, the role of the facilitator, the process of creating a positive learning environment, dealing with fear, self development principles, the actual process of facilitating EGE, the importance of nature and providing a somatic, biological perspective.

About the Author
Ariana is the founder of Equine Guided Education and has been a well-respected pioneer in the field of nature based learning and the "horse as healer/teacher" since the 1980's. She is a leadership expert, zoologist, rancher, speaker, and entrepreneur. She is passionate about finding new paradigms for being in respectful connection to nature and Mother Earth. In order to do this, she knows that humans need to let go of old paradigms and antiquated values in order to find the freedom required to inspire new possibilities and new actions. She does this by teaching Equine Guided Education and other nature based programs with an emphasis on how somatics, biology, and intuition are key components of one's ability to facilitate change in personal and professional endeavors. Ariana is a force of nature. With innovative vision, she brings together her knowledge of animal biology, business process, land management, and human development into a unique, thought provoking philosophy for living a balanced and sustainable life. As a pioneer in Leadership Development through natural environments, she realized early on that nature, land and the wonders of the local geography itself play an instrumental and unique role in helping people get in touch with who they are and what they care about. In some way, this was no surprise to Ariana, as she grew up in the coastal headlands rich in wildness, beauty, frankness, honesty and inspiration. What she did not expect was that all people benefit from time in nature and that that time in nature provides the answers we need for taking a new level of responsibility for becoming sustainable in our ranching/farming and consuming habits. She is co-founder of Strozzi Institute, founder of SkyHorse Ranch, co-founder of Valley Ford Wool Mill and has served on many local boards including the Sonoma County Farm Trails, and is on the faculty of Institute for Women's' Leadership, Institute for Generative Leadership, and Meridian University. Her other books include, "Horse Sense for the Leader Within", "Planning Your Business in the Horse as Healer/Teacher Professions" and the DVD, Intuitive Horsemanship.(TM)
