Cloud Dancers’ Equine-assisted Learning (EAL) education program features half-day and full-day workshops on issues relevant to the general public as well as specialty CEU courses for mental health professionals on a variety of topics including mindfulness, self-care, and personal and professional growth. Our EAL staff also offer businesses and groups custom-designed team building, problem solving, communication, and staff enrichment experiences on request. All workshops are led by a licensed professional counselor who is skilled at EAL facilitation and a PATH International Certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning.
We also offer Equine-assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) trainings for mental health professionals who would like to add Equine-assisted Psychotherapy as one of their treatment modalities. EAP has been proven to be a unique and effective therapeutic intervention for people suffering from a variety of mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and grief. These workshops provide a way for licensed clinicians to broaden their therapeutic toolbox.
In 2025, we are offering several exciting EAL and EAP workshops including:
- Introduction to Equine-assisted Psychotherapy: Approaches & Applications (8 CEUs)
- Herding Up! Equine-assisted Psychotherapy for Interactive Group Work (6 CEUs)
- Ethics and Boundaries: Compassion Fatigue, Burnout and Self Care – What Horses Can Teach Us (6 CEUs)
- Embodying Mindfulness: What Horses Know (4 CEUs available)
