Self as Practitioner Workshop - A deep dive into reflective practice with the help of horses

Join Kylie Peters (Psychologist, Family Therapist) and her four-legged team, to learn about
working with people in a more effective and impactful way with the help of horses. Learning
the Invitational Approach Framework, for helping people to learn how to safely attend to
themselves and others in the moment with the help of horses.

Horses are phenomenally powerful teachers that help support an individual’s self-growth,
self-responsibility and expanded awareness. By working with horses, we can understand
ourselves and the people we work with better and increase our sense of self-awareness and
sense of self. Horses are key to teaching us how to build relationship. With ourselves first
and then with others in our lives.

Receive take home reflective practice tools, including Groundwork Practitioner Concept
Map Booklet and Reflective Practice Questions Worksheet.
