Photos Videos Presentations Feedback	New Learning from Ancient Wisdom 2010's conference theme was “New Learning from Ancient Wisdom”. For many hundreds of years man and horse have worked together. In recent times many more horse people have come to realise that horses are not just our working partners and pets but also great teachers. We are learning that horses can teach us about many highly valued core skills that can get lost in today’s hectic lifestyle.

Engaging With Spirit – Partnering with Horses for Positive Change In this presentation we partnered with horses to explore leading with spirit with bringing our spiritual and business worlds together. Business people are finding that engaging their whole selves in work and home life–body, mind, emotion and spirit, and living their values and purpose strengthens the financial bottom line and sustains the well being of the organization. Partnering with horses and leading with spiritual presence we can transform our families, business and communities, uplift our human spirit and create positive change.

In addition, Shannon is a Graduate Advisor for Prescott College’s Equine Assisted Learning Masters program, & offers consulting services to thosinterested in starting their own Horse Therapy & Learning business. The Shadow of a Leader: What Shadow Do You Cast? The shadow one casts as a leader/manager/horseperson has enormous impact on the kind of relationships one can experience with horses & others. This presentation will offer insight into the process of working with leaders and managers using the principles of Natural Horsemanship as a guide & metaphor for connecting and being in collaboration with others. Informed by current literature on change & motivation, we will consider (& demonstrate, if horses are available) how these concepts can be learned, practiced & internalized through mutually respectful and beneficial interaction with horses.

He qualified as a licensed trail guide in 2004, and as an international equine assisted leadership trainer and licensed partner of HorseDream in 2008 – completing and enriching his psychotherapeutic methodology toolbox (autogenic training, psychodrama, hypnosis, equine assisted psychotherapy, action learning). Since it was founded in 2006, he have been the managing director of EQ-Skill company. His specific fields of interest are self-reflection based leadership development, life coaching and tailor-made crisis management adjusted to the personality. Integrating for him is a methodological issue: how is it possible to combine seemingly different methods and paradigms into one method that guarantees real, powerful and long lasting learning and changes. Working with horses became an integral part of this method in the past 6 years both in skill development and coaching. Buy One, Take Two: Horse Assisted Education and Altered States of Consciousness Riding and dealing with horses could be considered as an ASC (Altered State of Consciousness), which could set Equine Mediated Learning into quite a new perspective. It basically means, that Horse Assisted Education as a method is even more powerful than we have thought, because the trainer/coach has the opportunity to use (quasi-hypnotic) suggestive communication and it lets the participant to “work” in deeper and more primeval layers than his/her cognitive, rational mind. Using the tools of suggestive communication is only a technique – but understanding the background of ASC occurring in equine assisted learning situations could lead to a more sensitive (and thus more effective) way of handling individual and group dynamics and also helps to deepen the client’s learning. An empirical study first time introduced to international public at EAHAE 2010 Congress shows that horse riding leads to ASC and the so called Archaic Involvement (the relational dimension of ASC) is even deeper in this situation than in classical hypnosis by the SHSS (Stanford Hypnotic Scale). Our paper also pans out about the principles of learning and communicating in ASCs and the advantages of using positive suggestions to handle (and not only trust) the process.
	Stormy May After spending over 20 years as part of the traditional horse world, Stormy started looking for different ways of understanding horses. Her search led her around the world as she studied and interviewed people who each held a piece of this larger vision. The Path of the Horse DVD documents this search. This provocative film has shaken up the horse world, sparking discussions, asking the viewers to take an honest look at current practices within the equine industry and to decide for him or herself what the next step is. Stormy'y current projects include exploring the human-animal connection with her horses Patrick, Sundance, and Sofi, and writing articles as well as a full-length book investigating this topic. Sormy will be filming on this trip for her next video release.

Over the last five years she has been on a journey of self discovery that has taken her across the world and seen her trained and coached by a number of natural "horseman" and personal development coaches. Her new career in Equine Assisted Learning proves to be an ideal way to combine her passion with her decades of corporate experience and it was on this journey that she stumbled across the work of Carolyn Resnick.
