Tao Of Equus
Tao is characterized as a philosophy emphasizing effortless action, the freedom from desire, and natural simplicity. The Tao of Equus is a book written by author Linda Kohanov which focuses on the spiritual healing nature of the horse-human relationship from a woman's perspective. This emotional link is explored through Kohanov's research, study, first-hand experiences and mythology, all of which illustrate a unique perspective on equine therapy. In The Tao of Equus, the bond between horses and women is a particular focus. Kohanov provides insight into the mystical ability of horses to connect to women's psyches to reveal emotional wounds, grief and fear. The healing process can then begin and can transform those negative emotions and energies into acceptance, understanding, and self empowerment. Equine assisted therapy is a widely accepted alternative form of psychotherapy. People experienced with horseback riding understand that horses can learn to mirror their riders on physical and emotional levels. This emotional connection tends to be particularly strong with women and the therapeutic results can be quite powerful. Time spent in this manner can lead to profound healing, where more mainstream forms of therapy have failed. Quest Tours offers equine assisted learning trips custom-created in cooperation with Linda Kohanov's Epona Equestrian Services. Through this unique partnership, you can live The Tao of Equus through Kohanov's equine experiential learning classes. Quest Tours will provide the perfect way to let you explore the depths of your own spirituality and understanding from a uniquely equine perspective.
