Equine Assisted Learning
and
Equine Assisted Therapy

The Meeting Minds Herd at The Blue Moon Healing Centre provides an innovative and unique space for healing and personal development through horses.

 

Our sessions offer two distinct approaches:

Equine Assisted Therapy (EAGALA model) and Equine Assisted Learning, Growth, and Development.

Equine Assisted Therapy (EAGALA Model)

In an EAGALA treatment session, you actively engage with horses in a structured, client-directed process facilitated by myself, a trained EAGALA Equine Specialist, alongside your nominated mental health professional. These sessions are designed to help clients work through specific mental health challenges, offering a powerful alternative to traditional talk-based therapy.

Horses, known for their sensitivity to human emotions, provide a dynamic and intuitive feedback loop that allows clients to gain deep insights into their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Your treatment team observes how the horses respond to you, interpreting these reactions as symbolic reflections of your life experiences. This immersive approach facilitates personal awareness, transformation, and healing, empowering you to reshape your narrative and move toward a healthier state of mind.

Equine Assisted Learning, Growth, and Development

For those seeking personal empowerment, self-exploration, and growth without a mental health professional present, we offer Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) sessions. These sessions focus on experiential learning, allowing individuals, groups, corporate teams, and families to interact with the horses in a way that fosters self-awareness, confidence, leadership, communication skills, and emotional intelligence.

In these sessions, the horses act as intuitive facilitators, helping participants to uncover hidden strengths and gain clarity in their personal and professional lives. Through guided activities, individuals learn to listen, adapt, and develop resilience, peeling back the layers of social conditioning to reconnect with their authentic selves. These sessions are ideal for those looking to gain insights into their personal growth journey in a supportive, nature-based environment.

A Meeting of Minds

Both approaches—EAGALA therapy and Equine Assisted Learning—offer a sacred, supportive space where your inner wisdom can emerge. Standing in a paddock, surrounded by nature, with a gentle horse alongside, you have the opportunity to quiet your mind, detach from external stressors, and listen deeply to yourself.

Our mission is to provide a safe and transformative space where healing, self-discovery, and empowerment unfold naturally. Whether you are navigating mental health challenges or seeking personal growth and development, the horses and facilitators at The Blue Moon Healing Centre are here to guide and support you on your journey.

Experience this authentic process for yourself and discover the profound impact of equine-assisted therapy and learning.
