"What is often lost in our fear of power is that to lead simply means to direct in thought, action, opinion.  It also means to follow the course or path of.  We have forgotten that if we lead ourselves effectively, others follow naturally and without struggle." ~ Ariana Strozzi

Prior Horse experience is not required

• Communication - hearing and articulating
• Leadership - identifying current style; practicing refinement
  
• Teamwork - offering authentic contribution toward the same goal

This Pathway is most effective for Blended “Genres”or businesses who are making the shift.  For example:

• Social venture
• Philanthropic capitalism
• Profitable non-profit
• Entrepreneurial non-profit

No longer 'business as usual', the newer, emerging business paradigm brings with it the "Gift Economy":

• Value
• Reciprocity
• Connection
• Collaboration
• Creativity
• Community
• Sustainability

The Horses guide the Team Building exercises and experience by modeling:

• Play
• Listening
• Responding
• Gut Instinct
• Presence
• Shared leadership
• Relationships built on trust, respect
• Mutual exchange
• Community

The Facilitator will stimulate participants' inner knowledge by asking the questions:

• Who are you?
• What do you love?
• Who inspires you?
• Where is your ease?
• Who do you most identify with?
• What is your body saying?
• What are your core forms of expression?

The Process includes:

• A seminar to understand the principles of working with Horses to team build
• Instruction, direction and practice for course building and appendage-based exercises
• Debrief and group discussion of practical take-home discoveries and tools

Cost is based on the Company's needs, time and number of participants. Please contact us so we can customize a lineup and estimate a price at no obligation. It is strongly recommended to plan at least a 2 day event so all may benefit from an immersion and integration of Natural Leadership and team principles, methods and practices.  Average cost for team of 6 participants in a 2 day workshop may range from $1,000 - $1,500.
