The sense of safety

What Gentle Horses Can Teach Us 

​The Sense of Safety is the foundation of well-being.  When our Sense of Safety has been depleted, everything is more challenging, because our nervous system reverts to flight, fight or freeze.  We can learn to refill our safety tanks which leads to a fundamental trust in life and our place in the universe.  Even those who have experienced great trauma can learn to rebuild their Sense of Safety.  In this workshop we build a Sense of Safety as a bodily experience, like the other senses of sight, sound, touch etc. Working with horses, who are prey animals, we can learn a great deal about how to use our senses to attend to perceived danger, then quickly reset to calm once the stress is accurately evaluated.  This creates more brain neuroplasticity, allowing for more flexible behavior responses.  All behavior is an attempt to feel safe, but not all choices truly serve us.  Learn five methods you can use to easily restore a Sense of Safety from the core of your being.  We will practice these mindfulness methods with our horse partners who give precise responses to our state of being.

​It is important to recognize that relative safety in our modern environment is not universally accessible due to legacies of power and oppression. Histories of marginalization and colonization, systemic oppression such as racism, classism, ableism, and queer/trans phobia, and the continued legacies of patriarchy create conditions whereby our social and physiological survival capacities are misused to maintain oppression. We work to recognize that oppression is trauma. We practice in service of healing trauma on individual and collective levels so that we may all be free, and work toward responsibly stewarding right relationship to our planet, our times, and one another.
