Sue and Nadine had the great fortune of offering several sessions at the Experiential Practices Summit at Charles Sturt University yesterday.

Supported by Joe and Tilly, they offered attendees the opportunity to participate in an equine-assisted therapy activity that highlighted the value of process-oriented, nature-based therapies.

Rather than focusing solely on outcomes, the sessions emphasised the unfolding process of connection, awareness, and adaptive information that emerges when working alongside horses and other animals. Through non-verbal, intuitive engagement, students were invited to tap into their own innate capacity for authentic relating.

This experience provided a contrast to a focus on cognitive learning and unlearning, demonstrated how embodied approaches can unlock deeper insights and regulation.

They also spent reflection time with each group, linking their experiences to the broader applications of experiential and nature-based therapies within social sciences and mental health practice.

Thank you to all the students who came along with their questions, curiosities and enthusiasm.
