Changing Lives With A Horse, (Of Course)!

Our horses take on a lot. And usually it is from us! We need to be able to help them release those pieces that no longer are of value to them to help them stay grounded…
But we also need to release! What are the ways that you release? Do you have a release in your life?
Especially in the world that we are living in today - we need to release!
Join us, for some tips and tricks on how to release your horses, and YOU!

 
This month is all about self care!
Finding out what it is, and what is the best way we can look after ourselves.
Selfish? NO! We are talking about being self-FULL! What do you need to start living your DREAM!
To talk about this, we have an AMAZING guest!!
Mona McGregor is curious, inquisitive, and maybe a bit intrusive. She doesn’t consider many topics off limits. You say intrusive, she says “interested.” As a sex therapist, mental health counsellor, and coach, it’s been her love and pleasure to listen to her client’s stories and help them build their Ideal Life.

Here in Australia and in New Zealand, restrictions for getting together are easing greatly. We can even travel between the two countries. Yippee! We feel blessed. So while in-person connection will never really be replaced, it’s great we have so many tools for remote connection and working, especially as the pandemic is far from over. At Equine Connection, we have solutions to cover all bases, including our new Family Herd series, helping families reconnect and understand each other better than ever.

 
Today is all about uplifting stories, outcomes for our clients and having some fun!
 
We have so many questions in the world right now, so we thought we would take them throughout the live, but leave it up to an unlikely source for the answers!
 
Join us for some feel-good stories and some fun!

👉What comes with the certification?
👉How is it different? 
👉Am I all alone when it’s over?
👉How will being certified with Equine Connection get me moving towards my dream career? 
 
When we first started, we were confused. We weren’t sure how to market these courses, how to understand our target markets or how to get people to even listen to us about our programs.  Fast forward to 2021, where we have it down to a science! And we want to share that formula with you! 
🐴From the business pack to ongoing support, and all of the other additions to our course - find out all that you receive with this life changing course!  
After all, you don’t know what you don’t know until you do know! Right?

We were so pumped when we got this video through we just had to share it!  The lovely Meg Lago from the USA sent us this video on her take on the Equine Connection and becoming a facilitator with us.  Tune in to hear her thoughts on the course!

At Equine Connection, we celebrate all women, in all their diversities. We embrace their facets and intersections of faith, race, ethnicity, gender or sexual identity, or disability. We celebrate those who came before us, those who stand beside us now, and those who will come after.
The global theme for International Women’s Day in 2021 is ‘Women in Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID-19 World’. COVID-19 has impacted women and girls in profound ways, amplifying the inequalities they face every day. It is fundamental that diverse women’s voices and experiences are central to national and global recovery plans.
We would like to share some wonderful stories of women, just like you and me, who have had come to us and been touched by the power of the horse to find their true selves.
Equine Connection certified facilitators around the world offer workshops, programs and courses designed specifically by women for women to empower them to be the best versions of themselves.
