Actually, the less you know about horses, the more remarkable your experience can be because you’ll show up teachable and without any preconceived notions about what to do.

I will teach you what you need to know about horses as well as brain development, which is key to understanding how to heal and develop emotionally healthy relationships.

a força holds sessions on several locations in the The Hague region. Depending on your mode of transport, we can book the stable closest to you.

For workshops and retreats, we have locations throughout the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal and France. 

You’ll want to wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing according to the weather, that you don’t mind getting muddy.

Because of the sometimes intense internal bodily work, you might feel cold during the sessions. Bringing more layers is advised.

No, this is all unmounted work. If you would like riding lessons, we can put you in touch with fabulous instructors un our network.

Equine-Assisted Coaching and Facilitation provides a unique way to explore growth because horses are willing to engage in connection and also resist it if they don’t feel safe.

They are created with a brain and body response system that works for their survival. As herd animals, they rely on their senses and one another for protection and also the provision of needs.

By entering into an experience with a horse, we can explore what we bring into a relationship as well as what we can get out of it. As a result, we learn about ourselves and the needs of others in a fresh new way.

a força uses Natural Lifemanship principles in its equine-assisted coaching and facilitation sessions, which are built upon the concepts of healthy attachment and building attuned, connected relationships. The principles applied between the horse-and-human relationship equally apply to our human-to-human relationships.

Neuroscience research demonstrates that our brains can change through new and healthy experiences. In our sessions, we explore the cultivation of new thinking patterns (neuropathways) to move toward healing, growth, and transformation.

The way to change old patterns that no longer serve us is to practice something new. The learning is accomplished in our sessions, utilizing principles we put into practice in all of our relationships. The goal is to learn how to have connected and attuned relationships, which leads to healthy development, contributes to healing at any age and enhances well-being.

Although most people believe that trauma needs to be a big life event, anything that causes you to experience fear of harm can result in a traumatic experience and hinder the way you see yourself, others, God (if faith is part of your life), and your place in this world.  For example, all these events can be categorized as trauma:

• intrauterine and birth trauma
• abuse and neglect
• domestic violence
• grief and loss
• car accident
• flooding and fires
• natural disaster
• divorce
• family separation
• combat
• detainment/deportation
• incarceration/imprisonment
• homelessness
• poverty
• community violence and civil unrest
• sudden changes in relationships
• sudden and unexpected moves
