What They're Saying
Discover how our equine workshops and retreats have enhanced communication and team building efficiencies across various sectors.
Heart Mind Equine was a game changer for my team! We went into the training unsure of one another and of the challenges in front of us. After a day of talking frankly, identifying problems as well as goals, and participating in some difficult conundrums with the horses, we emerged stronger and more united with a commitment to doing the very best we could by our students and families. It was not only a fun, laughter-filled day, but was also instrumental in creating a more cohesive, team-based approach to our work.

It was a memorable experience, and our team grew more empathetic.
I like how you set the stage. You made us reflect and build some common, aspirational goals together. Creating that framework was important. I would definitely recommend the workshop. Moving away from one's work environment creates a physical and emotional freedom from the day-to-day work experiences.
More than anything, I learned to think about how other people and animals were thinking, acting, and behaving and why. I moved away from my "I" perspective to gain a better understanding of the "we" and the "us."

When I first began to work with the herd I immediately noticed a direct effect on my nervous system. Somehow, it is able to bypass my normally over-analyzing and noisy mind and penetrate straight into my body and heart. As someone who is both highly sensitive and recovering from PTSD this was exactly what I needed.
