Learning to listen to what horses have to say is powerful!

Their sheer size and presence and need for us to be present heightens our own need for an awareness of ourselves and those around us.

About

Heidi McGowan – Equine Assisted Learning

For me personally, one of the best things about life is the journey it takes us on when we are open to the opportunities it offers us.

Sometimes we just need to be that little bit brave and embrace it !

My love of nature and animals has always kept me grounded and I treasure the sense of peace they give me.

When an opportunity arose to work with horses and youth in an empathy based program it was the beginning of an incredible journey.

I realised that I could combine my passion for horses to help people experience the same sense of joy I get when heartwarming moments of connection and self discovery occur. My decision to become certified in Equine Assisted Learning has led to the creation of Soul 2 Soul meaningful learning- Skills for Life.

I’m so excited to share this unique learning experience with you with our amazing teachers – the horses!
