Ecotherapy and Equine Assisted Learning Certification
Hands-on certification training for those who want to integrate horses, ecotherapy, and experiential learning into their work with greater skill and confidence.
Do you want to help clients move through stuck patterns, strengthen communication, and take meaningful next steps through horses and nature-based experiential work?
This certification is designed to give you direct, practical training in ecotherapy and equine assisted learning. You will build a stronger understanding of how horses contribute to the process, how experiential methods support growth, and how these approaches can deepen your work with clients.
What You Will Learn
This certification introduces the foundations of ecotherapy and equine assisted learning through direct experience, observation, and guided discussion.
You will explore how this work can support growth, communication, life transitions, relationships, risk, and forward movement. You will also learn how these methods can help clients who feel stuck and need a different way to engage change.
Ecotherapy Areas Included
This program includes an overview of ecotherapy and ecolearning as part of a broader therapeutic and experiential framework.
Areas introduced in the training include:
- Equine and animal assisted therapy
- Somatic ecotherapy
- EcoArt therapy
- Energy psychology therapy
- Outdoor wilderness and adventure therapy
The Power of Working With Horses
Horses are at the center of this work. Their sensitivity, honesty, and immediate responses create opportunities for insight that are difficult to reach through conversation alone.
This certification helps you understand how horses communicate through body language and energy, and how their responses can reveal patterns, emotions, and movement in the process. Learning to work with horses in this way gives you a deeper, more experiential foundation for supporting change.
How the Certification Works
This is a five-day certification. Participants learn through experiential sessions, observation, and guided reflection.
You will spend time in sessions yourself and also learn by watching others. That combination helps you develop insight from more than one point of view.
Who This Certification Is For
This certification is a strong fit for therapists, coaches, helping professionals, and experiential practitioners who want to bring horses and ecotherapy into their work in a more integrated way.
It is especially well suited for those who want a broader nature-based framework that includes equine assisted learning as part of the process.
