The ARCH Story-Based Framework.
Rooted in the SEEN™ Keystones, the ARCH framework offers a powerful, emotionally safe approach to supporting clients through story. These guiding questions help facilitators create space where clients feel truly seen and heard—empowering them to authentically and organically honor and shift their stories in ways that invite meaningful transformation.
When applied in experiential settings with horses, animals, and nature, client stories come alive—opening the door to new insights, perspectives, and possibilities.
It is fresh, dynamic, engaging, and deeply fulfilling —for both you and your clients.

Thank you so much for this incredible foundation course!
Watching actual sessions with the wonderful debrief afterwards is a beautiful opportunity to deepen learning of the ARCH framework.
HEATHER JEFFREY

It feels very authentic and genuine and allows my sessions to flow easily.
The ARCH framework offers the client the opportunity to tell their story in a supportive environment and invites facilitators to go through that journey with them. It works so well with children of all ages.

Qualified Mental Health Professional for Children
This was very different. It’s really special.
It didn’t feel forced. The story came out exactly as it needed to. I wasn’t being asked about “tell me about your childhood.”
It was also really revealing. I feel fortunate to have had this experience.
ABENA

You have created a phenomenal way to learn and grow!
I love ARCH so much! I appreciated the SEEN through Horses module! It was awesome to watch actual sessions and see the difference between clients. It’s neat to be in an observer role of a different team’s full session.
