This presentation aims to raise awareness about the healing powers of horses through Equine Assisted Learning and Therapy for physical and mental wellness. Many people find themselves stuck in their minds an disconnected from their authentic selves.They are in essence, ungrounded and not in the present moment, where healthy decisions are made. This disconnection and not being grounded, leads to poor and unhealthy decisions which creates mental and physical health issues including anxiety, depression, chronic illnesses and many other issues. Horse have the amazing ability to to help us learn to ground ourselves an reconnect with ourself by being in the present moment and mirroring our inner emotions state in an nonjudgmental way. 

Participants will learn about how horses teach people how to ground themselves in the present moment to make better life choices which leads to better mental and physical health. Additionally this presentation will highlight how spending time on a ranch with horses can help regulate the human nervous system and create a sense of peace and serenity. 

Finally I will introduce the solution to this disconnect: Spirit Mountain Healing Services, a nonprofit organization. Participants will discover how Spiri Mountain effectively and sustainably teaches people through working wit horses to learn how to ground themselves to make better life choices in work, family, relationships and with self.
