2026 equine-assisted psychotherapy course is now open for bookings. The genius of equine-assisted therapy is that the horse invites talk, but does not require it to communicate”. So states Alain de Botton, philosopher and founder of the School of Life, in a review of Prof Andreas Liefooghe’s latest book on equine-assisted psychotherapy and coaching.
In a world of chaos where everyone seems to highjack the narrative, the non-verbal has never been more important. We can all benefit from learning to communicate without words.
Andreas, founder of Operation Centaur, will facilitate this three-day intensive course. The Operation Centaur model provides an evidence-based framework, and is therefore the first of its kind in the field. The course addresses all essential components of working with horses in helping relationships.
The programme is for both professional helpers and for those who want to understand how horses can play a pivotal role in our psychological well-being. Based on experiential action learning, participants will spend considerable hands-on time with the horses.
The course facilitates deep personal learning, as well as a professional skills framework for helping relationships. An Operation Centaur Certificate will be provided.
