Equine-Guided Empowerment®

Equine-Guided Empowerment® is a form of horse-assisted somatic work practiced outside with a small, free-roaming herd. The guided somatic exercises are based on herd dynamics and wild horse behavior, which makes them relational in nature and therefore beneficial for discovering how you show up for yourself and others in your life.

Participants enter the world of the horse; we attune to their rhythm and allow ourselves to become grounded and quiet. Surrounded by nature and the herd, our bodies begin to regulate without even trying. From this place, we find softness and space to notice and experience what often stays hidden when we are cruising through our daily lives.

Throughout these sessions, we keep coming back to your body: noticing tension, expansion, retracting, and softening, and how that shifts with the somatic activities and in response to the horses. We can see certain patterns emerge through the body, observe them without judgment, and stretch into other ways of responding. We don’t talk a lot about your life, but rather notice what patterns are living in your body, staying present with what is happening as you meet yourself and the herd.

All sharing and practice is voluntary. The horses are always in freedom, allowing them to truly respond with no restrictions. There is no haltering, leading, or riding.

EGE® can sit alongside ongoing therapy or coaching, or be an experience of its own.

The Homeward Collective

The Homeward Collective is a guided learning journey designed for people who want to build a deeper relationship with horses over time. Rather than a single session, the program unfolds across 3 progressive modules, made up of 6 weekly 2-hour sessions.

Together, you'll learn to work with horses through trust, communication, and mutual respect rather than control or compliance. While you'll develop practical skills with the horses, the focus is equally on developing self-awareness, because authentic partnership begins with how we show up. As your awareness grows, so does your ability to build clear, confident, and genuine relationships with the horses and beyond.

  • Safety, Agency, and Choice
    Learn the foundations of being with horses in a way that is physically and emotionally safe for both you and them. You’ll explore boundaries, body language, consent, leading, and following.

  • Trust and Communication
    Deepen into relational work with more expanded energy. Learn co-regulation outside the farm, exercising the horses in freedom with greater awareness of your body’s communication—and the horses’ response to your signals. Begin stool work and, if horse consents, learn how to mount in freedom

  • Partnership and Attunement Explore what it means to move together as partners. This module introduces supported and independent riding, always grounded in mutual trust, clear signals, and ongoing choice—for you and the horse. All progression is gradual and with continued emphasis on attunement and respect for the horse’s experience.

Private Group & Individual Sessions

We offer private sessions for groups, couples, and individuals to explore Equine-Guided Empowerment®, a particular focus area or theme—or just request something less structured and more centered on connection time with the herd.

Private sessions can be designed around collaboration, boundaries, deep listening, presence, emotional resilience, and even letting go. Rather than simulations or role-plays, you are invited into real-time interactions.

If you are looking for ongoing somatic coaching and practice, or would like to have weekly connection and learning time with the herd, we can tailor a specific program to support your aim. All coaching work is rooted in somatic, body-based practices and is carried out to varying levels, depending on your interest and experience, with the herd.

No prior horse experience is needed, and all work takes place on the ground. To learn more or request a private session, please get in touch via the contact form.

Herd Time

Homeward Membership offers dedicated time to return to the herd and continue your practice at your own pace. Sit quietly with the horses, walk through the field, journal, meditate, or simply enjoy being in their presence. There is no structured session, just space to reconnect.

Accepted members need to have already completed an Equine-Guided Empowerment® session, the Homeward Collective, or a private session. This ensures everyone is familiar with the horses and Homeward's horse-centered approach.

Membership is available monthly, with the option to join for a single month.

Please inquire for current Herd Times.
