Workshop Information: Take a trip into the Theater of Your Mind! Whether we are conscious of it or not, throughout our day we are filtering our experience through an identity we’ve created for ourselves. This identity can be seen as your leading roll in your inner movie playing in your mind. This lead role is a version of you, unfortunately the human mind can often unfairly script this character based on perceived weaknesses, shortcomings, unfair comparisons, and even based on the effects of trauma suffered or injustices that have happened to you. This character is often completely unfair to the truth of who you are! And unfortunately, can negatively affect your experience of life (your reality!), inhibit your success (in any area of your life), and directly affect your emotional wellbeing. Together we are going to begin to rescript your leading roll and kick that negative imposter to the curb. After all, we don’t go pointing out every flaw of our best friend and holding it against them.... why would we ever think that it is okay to do that to ourselves? In this session, we are going to use one of your greatest mirrors in life to uncover a core unfair identity you’ve scripted into your main character. What is this infamous majestic mirror, you ask?? Your horse! And you will learn a technique that you can use right away to transform this as well as a simple yet powerful way to approach life and horses with a calm body and deep softness (that your horse will thank you for!) I only have one requirement for you to join this workshop, the willingness to be kind to yourself and the desire to thrive. So excited to take this joyful journey with you to the Theater of your Mind!
