Truth In Horses, An integrated approach to equine facilitated learning and healing
 
Socratic Dialog

Dialogue for Truth
Trained facilitators engage with you and others, using the Socratic method of dialogue to encourage exploration of your beliefs, and to set you free from those that do not support your whole health. Combining Socratic dialogue with interactions with horses furthers your ability to call forth the answers that are already within you.
Facilitators ask questions, listen, and avoid any judgment-the role of the listener is to abstain from giving advice or identifying with the speaker. By simply following the direction of thought presented by the speaker, participants lead themselves down the path to discovering their own truths.

Socratic Dialogue and horses work well together because horses provide a mirror of our conscious and subconscious mind. They help us brings up questions and issues that may have been buried and ignored for years. While at the same time, horses accept all that we offer-as well as understand our shut-off or shut-down tendencies that we hold inside. They don't try to fix us-but they may move closer or stand next to a heart that is in turmoil. In the presence of a horse, and supported by non-judgmental dialogue, you are free to examine the parts of your life that long to be healed.
