THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF CONNECTION: HORSES & HUMANS
A community event to gather, learn, and practice, skills for healthy connection. We can grow together to build a beautiful future, by learning a simple and applied neuroanatomy. We can do this even better, with feedback from horses. Horses help us become more aware in how we practice a Neurobiology of Togetherness - with knowledge from horses on our way of connecting with others, we refine evidence-based scientific skills that build community. Learn more, together, gathered to review the knowledge in a way that allows us to bring this into our community.
