Group Workshops
Growing awareness, improving understanding and communication, shifting perspectives and gaining resources and tools to take away.
Powerful for teams, groups from all walks of life, industries and areas.
Educational & Experience Group Workshops
Groups I have worked with:
Vets & Veterinary Nurses
Community Workers
Horse Riding Yards
Horse Camps
​
Workshops can be educational, practical and interactive, or a combination.We can discuss what might be the best fit for your group.
If you have a group in mind that would benefit from a workshop, or are curious about what it could offer, do get in touch.
Nervous System
Learn about how your brain and body work together, to protect and connect you.
And understand more about different states and how to tap into them. To move away from existing in fight/flight/shutdown and into a state of calm, presence, rational thinking, relationship building and communication.
Attunement
This is particularly powerful for yard & equestrian workshops.
Exploring the science of connection (polyvagal lens) between horse and human
And then put this into practice with the horses.
Can include a live demo from Cat.
Relationship
Exploring the power of relationship and its capacity to unlock deeper understanding, awareness and connection with the self.
​
A transformational topic that leaves lots to be thought about.
Can be in context of horses or humans
Testimonial
Attending the Afternoon of Attunement with Cat with the most beautiful and serene backdrop of the stables we were lucky enough to experience in Northamptonshire was exactly what I needed that day, that week and that month. I went there to reflect on my relationship with one of my traumatised horses, however, as it unfolded I was reminded of how much internal stuff I bring to the interaction, without realising that my mare is picking up on it.
While I carry a lot of knowledge about the theory that underpinned the early afternoon, the reminder of it was crucial as it is so foundational and nothing else can be done without immersing yourself in it. Then later on seeing Cat in action with Obi, and modelling the co-regulation opportunities I am often missing, made everything click into place and crystallised the gaps in my practice. The whole afternoon has served as an anchor for me having returned to the busyness of work-life on the yard ... I still have the "To-do" list of horse-based chores but now I am reminded to take a few seconds or minutes as I greet the herd, stand alongside the magnificence of their sturdy, nostril-flaring presence and breathe, slow down, attune and now it's a regular "little and often" approach that has emerged from good intentions into concrete, tangible reality. Can I learn this stuff from YouTube? Yes, probably. But can I absorb the powerful experiential learning that I did that afternoon in Northamptonshire, that then allows me to translate good intentions into reality, providing me with the anchor I need to make it happen? Absolutely not.
Thanks Cat, Thanks Obi - just thank you to the simplicity and beauty of our time together. You gave me so much that day!
Louise.
