Horses are acutely attuned to their environments and live in the present moment, so interacting at ground level with them affords the opportunity to rediscover our eco-self and how we interrelate with the natural world. This awareness can then form the basis for a greater appreciation of our role as part of the entire ecosystem and lead to a more fulfilled and balanced way of being.

Studies indicate a 4 million rise in prescriptions for anti-depressants in 2020. Alternative interventions such as Equine Therapy are rapidly emerging as a viable and effective option for treating a broad range of issues related to well-being, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and poor emotional regulation. This is a much healthier alternative which has virtually no impact on the environment, does not encourage a “quick-fix” dependence on drugs and promotes a healthier, more connected way of being.

For this Talk and Workshop Julie Binns will be joined by Zahara Celestial as they discuss their experiences of being with Horses. Which will lead into introductory exercises led by Julie. You can find out more from Julie’s website www.therapywithhorses.co.uk
