Learn the Language of Horses

Susan, a CEO of a large corporation, is struggling to create a good working team. Joe has a great job and a wonderful family, and yet he feels bored and unfulfilled. After several meetings with staff and parents, Abby still cannot get the children in her day care under control. Although it may seem they have little in common, each of these individuals is lacking in leadership, communication and trust development skills they need for a successful outcome. Those who feel fulfilled and are excelling in their family and work environments have mastered the art of communication.

Recent studies indicate that 93% of communication effectiveness is determined by non-verbal cues. Through fifty million years of evolution, horses have highly developed non-verbal communication skills that make them natural geniuses at communication. Because horses have extraordinary sensitivity to non-verbal cues, they can provide you with a mirror reflection of your body language, offering immediate insight to your communication skills and helping you connect effectively with other people in every aspect of your life.

Reign in Unproductive Habits; Unleash Your Best Self

Allow the magical word of horses to guide the genius within you. In just three days, your equine partner will help you uncover your strengths and weaknesses and show you the road map to conquering your self-doubt.

The Gift of Equus team will safely guide you through many physical exercises on the ground that heighten your awareness and provide you with tools to leading a joyful life. The group size is kept small (no more than 10 participants) to ensure plenty of focused attention on your individual journey.

During this hands-on workshop you will have an opportunity to:

  • Overcome your personal fears.
  • Become a calm, assertive and confident leader.
  • Gain an understanding on how trust is truly built.
  • Increase your sensitivity to how others communicate.
  • Discover the value of trusting your own body.

This workshop will enable you to reconnect with your inner compass and change the way you communicate with the world, developing trust in those around you, and—most importantly—restoring the trust within yourself.

You will stay at The Crossings for an immersive experience in self-discovery. After the day's exercises have been wrapped up, you'll relax and unwind in a beautiful Hill Country environment, enjoying all property amenities and forging friendships to last a lifetime with your small group.

  • No horse experience required!
  • You will work with several different horses provided for you during the three days.
  • The horse activities will take place on the ground, thus there is no riding during the workshop.
  • The workshop is an intensive, all-day experience.

Life coach and interspecies communicator Koelle Simpson offers a whole new perspective on communication and trust development. She spent several years as a student of world-renowned equine trainer and best-selling author Monty Roberts, known as the "The Horse Whisperer."
