In gratitude

I would like to take a moment to extend my deep and heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Kane, the teaching assistants, and my fellow classmates for the wonderful and transformational experiences I have gained while in the Medicine and Horsemanship course. When I entered the course, I was already in a place of transition regarding my academic career and the direction my dissertation and eventual career as a psychotherapist was taking. However, I never expected that as the course continued those transformations would continue to evolve in ways I would have never dreamed of. Now as the course is coming to a close I am amazed at what doors have appeared before me. I am now re-considering doing my dissertation on equine-assisted therapy or somewhere in that direction, I still have some time to decide and there are so many interesting options to consider. :) I am also very excited to attend, hopefully with Dr. Kane, a weekend course regarding equine-assisted psychotherapy in April. I feel very grateful to have bonded with a handsome horse by the alias of “Orion,” and to top if off I was lucky enough to have all of you there to experience this with me. Thank you all for sharing this course experience with me; it has been an exciting ride. Thank you to the teaching assistants for bringing your knowledge, skills, and compassion to the course. A special thank you to Dr. Kane for offering this amazing course and for caring enough about this topic to step forward as a medical professional and teacher to pass down your wisdom to us with passion, presence, and peace.
