This two day WORKSHOP ALLOWS YOU TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IT MEANS TO TRULY
CONNECT & thrive in life, and offers you tools to help you access your
authenticity, creativity and intuition. This is a client centered,
unique & empowering approach which will expand your vision, widen your
horizons and allow you to relate meaningfully with yourself, others
and your environment.
Horses help make conscious in us, that which is unconscious. Highly
sensitive animals, horses respond to subtle changes in our body
language and behaviour and thus provide valuable feedback on whom &
how we are in the moment. Exploring human to equine interaction and
exchanges can lead to powerful new insights into our own natural
abilities and talents, therefore enhancing and promoting opportunities
for PERSONAL GROWTH.
WORKSHOP CONTENT:
• Understand and use emotion as information
• Access a more mindful and intuitive presence
• Establish and maintain optimal PERSONAL SPACE FOR HEALTH AND
WELL-being
• Use your body as a sensory device and discover the power of
non-verbal communication
• Recognize and move beyond the limiting, unconscious beliefs and
behaviours that keep us stuck in old patterns of thinking & behaviour
• Learn to distinguish social conditioning from authentic behaviours
and beliefs
• Explore the power of vulnerability
• Overcome counterproductive ways of thinking and reacting, learning
to respond with heart-centered presence.
• Experience congruence - incongruence impedes connection, horses
co-operate with us when our body and our minds are in sync (congruent)
• Listen to your body - a rich source of information for life/work
balance
• Exercise your intuition, recognise and let go of negative mind
states, beliefs & chatter
• Discuss the implications of predatory and non-predatory power in
relationship and group dynamics.
• Learn how to create an authentic community experience, thus
building a safe space to explore self-development
EPONAQUEST INSTRUCTORS:
Renée Keenan:
Renée is passionate about supporting and empowering people to create
and maintain positive changes in their lives.
Through her work as a registered mental health practitioner, Renée
discovered the capacity and healing impact of animals, especially
horses, on the human psyche. She began researching a professional
framework on which to attach her evolving philosophy eventually
discovering, training and affiliating to EAGALA (Equine Assisted
Growth & Learning Association) in 2007.
In 2008 she expanded her experience education and qualifications in
Equine Assisted PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT (EAPD) in Australia, United
Kingdom and USA. On her return to NZ she began delivering services to
individuals, families and groups.
In March 2014, Renee completed her internship with Shelley Rosenberg
in Tucson, Arizona when on completing her apprenticeship she graduated
as an EPONAQUEST INSTRUCTOR.
Jane Weggery
Jane began her journey with horses in 2007 while working for
Wellington Riding for the Disabled and as a counsellor for the Hutt
Valley DHB. She was working in the ride programme supporting people
with their growth and learning whilst on the horse’s back. What she
noticed however, is that the most significant growth occurred in the
interactions and relationships that the participants had with the
horses, and that riding was the conduit for this to happen
In September 2014 Jane qualified as an Eponaquest Instructor for group
process and individual sessions.
