Equine Experiential Education

United Kingdom/February 06, 2018/Source: http://www.sfgate.com

The US-based Equine Experiential Education Association (E3A) will hold its first international certification in the United Kingdom this summer. Practitioners who attend will learn the process of facilitating experiential learning programs that partner with horses to teach leadership skills, life skills, team building and personal development.

The certification will take place in South West England June 5th through the 11th, 2018 at the scenic Cherry Orchard Farm, a Bed and Breakfast owned and operated by Rosie Tomkins of Natural Capital, Ltd. It is open to interested practitioners located throughout the United Kingdom, Europe and from other international destinations.

“There is a huge need in both the UK and Europe for certification programs that give practitioners the skills for facilitating experiential learning with horses that emphasize the difference between learning and development and the therapeutic applications of this work, like therapeutic riding, or equine assisted psychotherapy,» said Tomkins. “My corporate clients are very goal and results oriented. If they leave their offices to do a workshop, they want to walk away with new skillsets, awareness and actions steps that improve their performance.»

“The E3A curriculum is based on adult experiential learning theory and has been compared to taking graduate level classes in facilitating transformational change,» says Lissa Pohl, Vice President and Master Trainer for E3A. “We are very excited to bring our model of facilitating transformational learning experiences with horses to the United Kingdom.»
