Here’s the story of how FEEL began!
Training to become a facilitator starts in November in Langley, BC. Come join us!
Where did FEEL® begin?🐴
Its roots can be found in the story of Wendy Golding and André Leclipteux, co-founders of Horse Spirit Connections and the FEEL® Approach.
After a back injury took Wendy away from riding, she eventually found her way back to horses. Another riding injury, followed by her mare Angelina becoming lame, opened the door to a new kind of relationship with horses, one built on connection from the ground.
Wendy trained in the emerging field of Equine Facilitated Learning. Together, she and André combined what they learned with their spiritual teachings and a guiding belief that horses are not tools. They are partners, teachers and guides who deserve respect, choice and a voice in the experience.
In 2008, Wendy and André offered the first FEEL® Certification Training, preparing others to bring this work into the world. The FEEL Alumni community followed in 2010, giving graduates a place to connect, share and continue learning.🌱
Wendy passed away in 2019, but her vision lives on through André, the horses and FEEL® Practitioners around the world.
Every new practitioner becomes part of that continuing story. 🐴
