Meet the 2009 HEAL Facilitators

Human-Equine Alliances for Learning and instructors, Leigh Shambo and Kathleen Barry Ingram, proudly announce the 2009 class of graduates from the Facilitator Training Program.   Nine women from around the globe successfully completed the program on October 17, 2009.  

Together, Leigh and Kathleen developed this program to prepare counselors, teachers, and coaches (including equestrian professionals) with practical training and experience for developing Equine Facilitated Learning programs.  The graduates learn to facilitate horse activities in a way that optimizes relational ability, emotional well-being, and empowerment.  These nine individuals, with varied backgrounds and life stories, rigorously undertook the challenge to uncover hidden truths and gifts, discovering their own unique ways of presenting and teaching the HEAL Method of EFL.
