Description

The purpose of our school is to assist you in developing and maintaining a deep soul connection with the horse. In the process, you'll develop skills necessary to give relief to horses in the form of bodywork...massage, myofascial release, and Reiki.

Courses are presented in two levels, each level consisting of five days, and are held in Merrimac, Wisconsin at Grand R Morgans Farm. Courses combine lecture, discussion, guided meditation, and lots of hands on practice with the horses. Horse handling skills are a prerequisite.

Level 1, The Foundation Course gets you started on equine anatomy, massage, energy work, and intuitive development.

Level 2, Advanced Course takes the above a step further and myofascial release is taught. Hands on and written exams are given at the end of level 2, along with follow-up field study.

Karen Braun, Instructor, is also available to do personal sessions for your horse, at your stable. Sessions are one hour in length.

Anam Cara School of Equine Massage is approved by the State of Wisconsin Educational Approval Board as of July, 2007.

Philosophy and Comments

In the Gaelic language, "Anam Cara" means "soul friend." In the Celtic tradition, horses are referred to as ANAM CARA. Horses are one of nature's greatest gifts to us. They are our teachers, our healers, and our mirrors. Horses teach us about presence, gentleness, living in truth, and right use of power. We owe it to them to take the best possible care of them. Bodywork is one way we can give back to them. Our courses are not only to give you skills to do equine bodywork, but are also a journey in personal growth and awareness.
