Karen Frederick – Connect workshop – May 2022

I have been aware of Epona/Eponaquest since first experimenting with equine facilitation 14/15 years ago. I am interested in becoming a practitioner and believe the values of this training aligned with mine.  I wanted to test whether EFL was still for me.  I am on a journey of becoming authentic and the connect workshop was very appropriate.

It was great at helping to highlight my patterns.  For example, how I can slip into being goal oriented and then push through for the result.  How anxiety can block me connecting with myself and the world around me.  I also felt that I was learning a huge amount from the other participants. As they were the mirror to me.

It was a seamless continuation of the ongoing work on myself that I am doing.  It was a safe environment for me to focus on myself and observe triggers and what came up in a way that didn’t have to be judgemental.  The setting at the farm is gorgeous and I really felt that it was part of the healing journey.  Although I haven’t looked back at the workbook, I know that there is a lot of information there and that I can revisit the exercises at will.

I would definitely recommend it.  You were very professional but also warm and accessible.  The structure of the exercises with the horses slowly builds through the course at a comfortable pace that pushes you just enough.  Venue and horses were excellent.  I liked the classroom exercises too and the way sharing and feedback was managed so that people did not feel judged in any way.

I wish it was longer ????
