The Way Of Horse-Friendship And Your Role In It
Facilitated by Rob Pliskin and Rosemary Wyndham-Jones
If you're longing for more connection and compassionate communication, Rob and Rosemary's pre-festival workshop is based around their special form of horse-friendship and way of being with horses.
Starting with ourselves we learn how to be a better partner for our horses creating positive change towards positive connection and relationship. A way of being that makes us be more comfortable within ourselves thus affecting the horse to be more comfortable around us. A practice of utilising our energy, being intentional, remaining focused and defining our role within the relationship.
You are welcome to bring your own horse or play with one of ours!!
Cost: NZ$130 NZD
*Coffee, tea, and snacks are available for purchase at the venue, as well as vegetarian/vegan fare for lunch, or you are welcome to bring your own.
Date & Time: Monday, February 7, 10am-4pm
Number of participants: maximum 10 people

Connecting to Sacred Space - Expansive Tools to Access Your Next Level
JUDY BRIGHTMAN
Mindful Horse, Mindful Leader
NSW, Australia
This workshop, facilitated by Judy Brightman from Australia, is for individuals to who want to explore various ways of connecting to Sacred Space to create balance, harmony, and accentuated intuition.
What is Sacred Space?
Sacred space is that place where we feel centered, grounded, connected to Earth and to Source, to Spirit, to the Collective Unconscious, whatever term resonates with you, depending on your belief system. It is calm, quiet, connected. It is the space that allows you to feel suspended in time; to suspend disbelief in time as a circular concept; to open the channels of energetic and intuitive connection and to feel the Oneness, the sense of connection to all things. From this place of balance you can flow freely in any direction.
What will we do?
Sacred space will be explored, together with our equine guides, through shamanic journeying, engaging in sacred ritual, and awakening to intuitive awareness. You will be guided towards an understanding of how these can support you on your life’s path and improve your relationship to self, others, Earth, Spirit, and the Universe.
Together with the Dune Lakes Herd we will take you on a journey into Sacred Space to connect with your highest self, to awaken intuitive abilities you may not yet have accessed, and to receive the wisdom of the horses and the Horse Ancestors.
What will you receive?
You will embody your experience and clarify how to incorporate these tools and rituals into your daily life, to enable a state of ease and flow to be more readily accessible to you, to create pauses in your day to access intuition for better decision-making in line with your authentic self. In our busy lives, the power is in the pause. As Debussy said, it is the space between the notes that makes the music.
In addition to these benefits, EFL practitioners will gain an understanding of how incorporating these tools and practices into equine facilitated learning sessions can help create a space to deepen the client’s experience and connection by aligning body, mind and spirit.

Creating a Sustainable Business Working with Corporate Clients
LYNN JENKIN
Horsanity
NSW, Australia
Engaging corporate clients with horses
Working with corporate clients can be profitable and rewarding but it comes with its own challenges. Once on board a corporate client can be a predictable income source with repeat business year after year. When a successful training program is in place it is not unusual for multiple cohorts to undertake the same program. Whilst corporate clients are accustomed to paying a premium for training they expect that training to deliver in accordance with their goals.
This workshop will look at how to consult with a client and design a program to fit their needs. It will incorporate both theoretical/didactic information and hands on experience with horses.
Key takeaways under the guidance of the Dune Lakes herd
How to address the big picture through a consulting model.
Designing a program Working with horses to develop self awareness in leaders.
Working with horses to build high performing teams.

Trauma to Transformation:
How Horses Guide Us to Post-Traumatic Growth
ROB PLISKIN & DEAN MIGHELL
A three-day equine-guided retreat with international guest Rob Pliskin, co-facilitated and hosted by Dean Mighell of award-winning charity The Path of the Horse at its beautiful Australia location.
A Hero's Journey
Healing is a story of millennia. It is as old as human community, spread-ing across continents and throughout cultures. It takes us from the pro-fanity of war and the senseless pain of personal trials to the sacredness of warriorhood and personal recovery. The story lives in ancient human experience and in today’s science of post-traumatic growth.
For those who have experienced trauma and suffer lingering symptoms such as post-traumatic stress, depression, and other afflictions, avoidant coping mechanisms are often the only way to get through the day and, indeed, life. Reaching out for help can be a struggle all it’s own, one that involves overcoming shame, embarrassment, and the fear of being viewed as weak.
Whether trauma comes from experiences of combat, emotional or physi-cal abuse, injury, or another source, the wounded warrior often feels that he or she needs to “just get on with it,” burying the pain and the hurt deep down. It is possible to heal the wounds through honoring your path into the light, growing in the relationships in your life, and moving forward from victim to victor.
Embark on a hero’s journey, discover your sacred gifts, and re-turn to share them with the world.
Explore post-traumatic growth with the 12 gentle horses of The Path of the Horse. Let these horses and experienced facilitators guide you for-ward to what supports you in your life.
•Learn the 5 components of post-traumatic growth (PTG) for your-self and others
•Participate in at least 4 growth experiences with horses
•Receive 3 facilitator promises
•Grow at least 2 ways: in self, and in connection with others per-sonally or professionally
•Understand the power of being 1 healing warrior amidst others
