Andi Klein-Roane

My name is Andi Klein-Roane and I am an Epona-Certified, Equine-Facilitated Learning Practitioner with a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology. Equine-Facilitated Learning (EFL) involves working directly with horses. As highly sensitive prey animals, horses have developed a keen ability to read many forms of non-verbal communication. Perhaps because we as humans, have shared such a unique and close relationship with horses over the centuries, they have become particularly adept at reading us! Our breathing, our heart rate, the way we stand or walk, the way we hold ourselves; all these things are cues to the horse that reveal to them who we are. They read past our facades and uncover our true feelings and emotions. In EFL, we partner horses with humans in on-the-ground activities in order to give people the opportunity to get more in touch with their true feelings. This is a very experiential and hands-on approach to learning, but there is a strong Spiritual component to this work, as well, and it is why I wanted to combine these two complementary practices into one, more comprehensive experience.
