Why Authentic You Workshops?
BE TRUE. BE AUTHENTIC. BE YOU. As women, some of us are constantly in fear of being judged. Horses are incapable of judgment. What a unique thought; to go to a place where judgment does not exist, and we can just be ourselves! They don’t care about our clothes, our weight, our spiritual or political beliefs, or where we’ve come from. They just care about helping you to be the best version of YOU that you can be. You are unique! No BS workshops.
Take back your power
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.
Find serenity within yourself, love you and the now
If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll never have enough.
WORKSHOPS
Our workshops give you the guidance, the “coach,” and the venue to allow you to find your own self-truths.
Our workshops are for all women, and especially for those who: Seek passion in their personal and work life. Still struggle privately with sadness, loneliness, anxiety and depression. Experience occasional or continual self-hate. Deal with the burden of emotional pain. Crave balance and inner peace. Want to develop skills in assertiveness and communication techniques. Want to build their self-worth/self-esteem. Want to find their gifts that might be lost or buried to discover their authentic selves to ‘you’, ‘yourself’ and ‘I’ to move forward with power and confidence.
Our coaches are four-legged ones who greet you without judgment, without concern for your history, and without preconceived ideas of what you are. They will guide you to self-knowledge and a calmness and strength that will change your life permanently.

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTORS:
Lisa and Krystyna both have Ontario Health backgrounds and are certified Equine Assisted Learning Facilitators.
Lisa has experience facilitating many learning events in the health field throughout Ontario. Lisa has years of Skills Development practice as a Public Health Nurse and is enjoying integrating her knowledge with Equine Assisted Learning. Lisa is holding her Equine Assisted Learning programs at Saffron Equine Centre in the beautiful setting of rolling hills in Bethany, where she also cares for broodmares and foals. Using trained horses that are specially chosen for the EAL programs she encourages fun, learning and meaning in all of her skills development challenges.
Krystyna has taught Harmonious Riding at Harmony Farm Rice Lake, Bailieboro. Developing her own program of relational bonding with a horse through riding partnerships, she is enjoying her move towards facilitating horses on the ground. As they become the teachers (no riding the teachers) and Krystyna the facilitator, a working partnership develops between horse and students through interaction by step in moments. The courses and workshops provide guidance in life skills development for women through the proven (5 years of study by 3 universities) developmental skills building programs as set out by the Equine Connection Corporation.

After introductions you will be partnered and choose your miniature horse where the fun starts. We have selected challenges that you and your team partners (mini included) will engage in. Don’t worry your mini will be in on the conversations too, helping you figure out our puzzles and you’ll be laughing during the process.
