steps for getting started
STEP 1
Follow the Embodied Leadership Project on Instagram
Through @embodied.leadership.project I share content that teaches about horses, teaches about gentle ways to approach sexual trauma through the way of the horse, videos of horses, and upcoming offerings.
STEP 2
Join the ELP Email List
1-Minute Videos
Once a week, I send an email with a short story or contemplation about the healing power of horses as well as a 1-minute video to connect with the image, energy and presence of Angus and his herd.
Guided Journeys Through Email
Seasonally I will offer free guided journeys that I facilitate through email. This process includes written, audio and video content and invites participants into meditation and daydreaming to develop their healing relationships with horses.
STEP 3
One free way to take part in this work is through the Podcast: Horse Magic
This is a podcast about turning toward and tending to sexual trauma in a way that doesn't make us feel sick with dread. Join me as I weave together the power of horses, nature, and the Internal Family Systems model to illustrate a path of healing that is beautiful and gentle.
So much of this work is about getting to know horses for the expansive and healing beings that they are.
When we are attempting to turn toward our sexual trauma, the horses can ease our process. I believe that our first step is not to delve into painful memories. Our first step can be spending time getting to know and bond with horses.
This free Ebook is about journeying into the magic that horses embody and was written as a fun and engaging way to explore horse energy.
STEP 4
You may want to take your studies deeper
This self-paced class empowers you with a self-coaching method that allows you to tend to sexual trauma - in a way that doesn’t feel icky or make you sick with dread. It teaches you the IFS framework and supports you to learn directly from horses through a trauma-informed meditation practice. It will guide you to experience yoga, which means union, with the luminous consciousness of the horse. You will then be able to call on this resource when you feel isolated, overwhelmed, stressed, or trapped in heavy feelings. Each module is designed to be accessible, trauma-informed and digestible.
All of this leads toward a loving and life-long relationship with horses as spiritual guides and teachers and a powerful IFS-based method for relating to your own inner world.
Designed for women with sexual trauma, this is an affordable, sliding scale membership community starting at $3 a month where you can RECEIVE the healing energy of horses from a distance through video as I invite you to witness videos of horses, participate in self-paced mini-courses, and learn more about equine-assisted learning. Immerse yourself in the frequency of the herd as we unwind tension layer by layer through togetherness, gentleness and compassion.
All women - Trans, Cis, and Gender Expansive Women - Are Welcome
The Curriculum
The Embodied Leadership Project’s Equine-Assisted Learning curriculum provides women with sexual trauma the opportunity to experience the demonstrated therapeutic effect of relating to horses.
ELP’s programming is created in collaboration with the horses I actively work with in person and is designed to be offered from a distance (not in the physical presence of the horses). It integrates the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as well as trauma-informed yoga to support the process of meditative states, embodiment and psychological integration. Using stories about the horses, videos of the horses, imagery and guided meditations, I invite you to connect and journey with these horses through their inner world: somatic experience, emotions, intellect, and imagination.
