    Equine Assisted Psychotherapy for Challenged Individuals

    Sedona, AZ (July 14, 2011) – Come and share an enjoyable afternoon with Andrea Baldwin as she presents “Straight from the Horse’s Mouth: An Educational Program” at the Sedona Public Library on Tuesday, July 19, 2011 from 4 – 5:30 PM. Andrea, founder of Connections Equine Therapy in Cornville, has over 40 years of experience working with horses. Connections offers therapeutic riding for individuals with mental, physical and/or emotional challenges and equine-assisted psychotherapy, among other programs.

    Andrea will share her experiences working with both horses and clients. “I never cease to be amazed at the horses’ response to the clients,” she says. “I think they are able to be so appropriate with the clients because they are prey animals. If your ability to read your surroundings means life or death, you get good at it.”

    Andrea will also discuss what she has learned from being with horses. Horses communicate in many ways; through experience and observation you can come to understand their language. They have their own unique personalities, sometimes even humorous. The herd mentality of horses can also help teach skills of leadership and corporate team building.

    It doesn’t matter if you are experienced with horses, have never touched a horse, or you are somewhere in-between. This presentation will have something for everyone. Andrea’s enthusiasm is genuine and contagious. She says, “Gratitude is a daily part of my life. How can I not be grateful when so many people show up week after week in cold and heat, helping in any way they can, to improve the quality of life in others?” How can you not love doing this work when you are constantly exposed to the joy of the clients and volunteers?

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
