AIA SHORT COURSES

The purpose of the AIA short courses is to focus on elements of the AIA process of Wellness Work with Horses. Each (2 day and 1 evening) practicum intensive examines principles, theory and practice of AIA's equine inner-actives.

The vision of AIA short courses is to offer both the general public and the potential AIA Internship student an opportunity to learn through doing (equine facilitated learning) while focused on a specific aspect of Adventures In Awareness equine facilitated experiential learning process work. The curriculum is designed to develop communication and interpersonal relationship skills, promote awareness, and integrate insights into activities of daily life. Horses facilitate our developing Consciousness.

During each AIA short course the AIA Responsibility Agreement is examined and practiced. The significance of self responsibility as contributing to group safety and intuitively known, a function of emotional intelligence, is developed through AIA's equine inner-actives with the horses.




1. TASTE OF AIA

Areas of study are: responsibility agreement, centering, mutual choosing inner-active, heart scanning process, Con Su Permiso, imaginary lead line, elementary equine physiology and psychology as metaphor for life skills and round ring congruent message sending.

Relationship Energetics
The purpose of AIAs Relationship Energetics workshop is to focus on the subtle energetic components of relationships in order to develop more effective and compassionate communication. One of the keys to developing deeper awareness in our relationships is connection with our authentic Self. Aligning with intention in clear authentic congruency, we listen with heart based presence. Through practice with the horses, we develop and enhance our interpersonal intimacy skills.

Effective relationship with horses as with people depends on the quality of our self knowledge and subsequent communication. In this workshop we examine the concept of projection and the role it plays in our inner-actions with horses, others and ourselves. The emphasis here is generalizing the AIA principles to facets of everyday life through the lens of world behind our eyes. Our focus is the round ring tending gestalts. Our emphasis is the role of "witness."
