Horses are herd animals. Gentle giants. They have helped man for a thousand years. A new, cutting edge modality of therapy is Equine Assisted Healing/Learning/Therapy. In the modalities that Jane Davis will share there is no riding involved. Her work is all on the ground and focuses on creating contact, connection and communication. This modality has been successful in the treatment of addiction including gambling and substance abuse. Jane will share about the Lakota Way with the Horse (Sung Naji Kici Okiju – Becoming One With the Spirit of the Horse), EAGALA and Gestalt Equine Therapy. She will talk about “why horses” and how it works. Why should someone seeking help consider this modality and how can it help with stress management as well. Jane empowers people to recognize and build on their own strengths. She helps people find their own answers and grow in their sobriety.
