EQUINE ASSISTED WRAPAROUND is a child-centered, family-focused approach to providing strength based, needs-driven, unconditional care to children and their families who have complex needs, utilizing a combination of natural supports, professional service providers and the spirit of the horse. EAW is not a program or service. It's a process to help improve the lives of the children and families you serve.
EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING is a unique experience that honors the spirit of the horse and their healing abilities. Together we will look at the four stages of life to gain a deeper understanding of who we are physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Becoming one with the Spirit of the Horse helps to improve creativity, problem-solving, communication, teamwork and leadership skills. The process builds upon strengths to improve confidence, self-esteem, and self-awareness.
STRENGTH BASED, NEEDS-DRIVEN, UNCONDITIONAL CARE
All across the world, people who are descendants of horse cultures are working towards bringing the teachings from the horse nation back. Sung Nagi Kici Okiju: Becoming one with the Spirit of the Horse, LLC., would like to offer our assistance to those groups who are interested in developing their own Equine Program. Sung Nagi Kici Okiju: Becoming one with the Spirit of the Horse is not a horsemanship model, it's a way of life. Becoming one with the Spirit of the Horse is a cultural/spiritual based approach to the growing fields of Equine Therapy, Therapeutic Riding, and Therapeutic Horsemanship. By becoming one with the spirit of the horse, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others, heal from your burdens and receive guidance in your life.
