Gestalt Equine Groups
James Hart Counseling offers equine-assisted group therapy at Hart Family Farm. These transformative, experiential, and nature-based interventions incorporate Gestalt techniques with relational horsemanship. Focused on cultivating authentic and mutually beneficial relationships with horses these groups build confidence in our felt body awareness. Horses provide immediate and accurate feedback about subtle energy, basic safety, and trust. By slowing down in the here and now we can overtly practice practical and somatically engaged relationship skills that are easily transferable to our human to human connections. Allow horses to guide you toward a more present, clear, direct, and authentic leadership style
