ARCH Facilitator SEEN through Horses and SEEN through Dogs Training Retreats

A hands-on application of the ARCH facilitation framework learned in the online course, and applied in environments with horses or dogs.

Be more effective
Are you looking for new ways to effectively support and engage your client’s success?
It’s easy to feel stuck, unsure, and burned out in our work as facilitators of change.
Other training retreats made me feel like I was constantly trying to catch up. That I had to learn everything and apply it as fast as possible. This retreat allowed me to practice the ideas & skill, and add to what I already was doing more effectively.

What Others Are Saying
I got so much out of this training! I learned frameworks that are applicable to work in all settings. I learned more about the power of silence, and I learned all aspects of storytelling. I loved both of the facilitators that joined us for the training. They came with an open mind, and were so down to earth. They truly taught in a fun, and welcoming way, while also incorporating the knowledge that members of the group brought.
KATIE BARNES
MSW Clinician Intern
I attended this retreat to learn how to implement the ARCH framework with the clients I see at Acres for Life. I found it really insightful to be able to be a client in the process. I learned so much about what silence can do from this perspective and how it feels to have my team meet me where I am at. It was powerful and a whole new perspective. It felt like a safe place to stretch and grow. Lynn, Lynn, and Heather were phenomenal trainers. Thank you!!
LISSY NEWMAN

This was one of the best, most transformative trainings I’ve been to! A beautiful setting and the experiential time with horses really made a difference for me.
TRISHA WOHLFEIL
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
I really appreciated the space, pace and flow of this training retreat! The facilitators were warm, inviting and supportive of all questions and feedback. This created a really relaxed and safe learning environment where we were all encouraged to shine our own unique light. The concepts are universal and easy to adapt into many modalities. Two thumbs way up. 🙂
JILL TAYLOR
Equine Specialist
ARCH is a facilitation framework that creates a true sense of being WITH our clients in a way that is supportive and safe.
The retreat felt safer than most I’ve attended. It felt like we were all learning together and learning from each other.” It is an approach that is filled with integrity and rests on a solid foundation of values.
HEATHER JEFFREY
Mental Health Professional
Most other therapy trainings I have attended have been more classroom based and less focused on experiential learning. This training not only has helped me feel more confident in what a healthy facilitator looks like, but also has given me confidence in being able to move forward in my next career steps. It was flexible, a practical use of skills, in an open-minded no judgment atmosphere.
