What is EFEL?
Horses offer a unique and dynamic approach to personal development. EFEL involves interactive and immediate feedback from a living, responsive partner. Horses, with their acute sensitivity to human emotions and non-verbal cues, provide real-time reflections of your inner state and behavior.
This direct, tangible interaction helps you gain insights and develop skills in a way that is both engaging and impactful. EFEL combines the benefits of physical activity, emotional engagement, and cognitive learning, creating a holistic experience that can lead to profound personal growth. The presence of a horse can help you confront and overcome challenges, build confidence, and develop authentic communication skills in a way that is both grounding and enlightening.
Do I need experience with horses?
No horse experience is necessary! All sessions are on the ground and there is no riding involved.
I will guide you through each step, providing clear instructions and support, ensuring that you feel confident and secure throughout the experience. The primary goal is to create a positive, stress-free environment where you can connect with the horses and focus on personal growth.
What about my safety & confidentiality?
Emotional safety & confidentiality are paramount for effective learning. Your EFEL session is structured to make sure you feel secure & supported throughout your experience.
You share and explore at your own pace, with no pressure to disclose more than you're comfortable with. All personal information and experiences shared during the session are treated with the utmost confidentiality, so you can express yourself openly without fear of judgment.
I’m skeptical, this seems woo-woo
EFEL is grounded in practical, observable interactions and psychological principles. Horses provide tangible, real-time feedback through their natural, instinctive responses to human behavior. This process is not about spirituality or mysticism; rather, it's about leveraging the horse's innate ability to read and respond to body language and emotions.
You’ll gain valuable insights into your own behaviors in a straightforward, experiential manner. Whether you approach it from a purely practical standpoint or with an open mind, EFEL offers meaningful development opportunities that can benefit anyone.
