Participants who complete both will earn a certificate of completion for HEAL-LEAP Institute Level I.
HEAL-LEAP Institute Level II is planned for 2013 and includes additional professional practice components, the completion of these to result in a HEAL-LEAP Graduate Certification. The additional components include a four-day workshop (28 hours CPD) and a Practicum involving supervised practice under a HEAL-designated instructor. Candidates must successfully complete the supervised practice component to be awarded HEAL-LEAP graduation certificates.

Learning from the Horse-Human Connection: 6 Keys for Personal Growth
Date: April 20-22, 2012
Location: HEAL Ranch – Chehalis, WA
Our life stories grow out of experience, but in time these stories can become our experience… keeping us stuck in old patterns that no longer fit. Try interacting with a horse, who can feel your heart without ever knowing “the story”. Learning with horses helps your brain move beyond the tendency to see what has been, to see more clearly in the here and now. Unlock old patterns and liberate your story using HEAL’s 6 Keys to Relationship.
Here are just a few of the empowering and liberating things you’ll learn:
- Understand “yin & yang” as a balance within yourself.
- Discover the limbic connection giving relationships their unique ambience.
- Experience the mammal-to-mammal emotional communication.
- Integrate the intentional capacity of “mind” with the discernment of “feel”.
- Practice the principles of PLAY, and SEEKing… across species & with your partner.
- Take home HEAL’s 6 Keys to Relationship, for your life & for your relationships.
Cost: $750 per person or $1350 per pair – lunch is provided
