Transforming Lives with Horses: Inside Athena Herd's Equine Therapy & Mindfulness Programs

This episode takes us into the heart of the Athena Herd Foundation, a place where transformation is as natural as the rain nourishing the earth. Founded by the visionary Jennifer Geach and Graham Green, Athena Herd is not just a sanctuary for horses but a haven where humans and horses forge deep, healing connections. Through the conversation, we uncover the origins of Athena Herd, from its inception to becoming a leading force in equine-facilitated interactions. Jennifer and Graham's stories are a testament to the power of passion, vision, and the courage to follow an unconventional path. As we dive into their narrative, we discover a world where horses are respected as sentient beings, living in harmony with their natural instincts on a track system designed to mimic their ancestral environments. This approach promotes their well-being and enhances the therapeutic experiences for those who seek solace and understanding among the herd. Graham shares his transformative journey from the corporate world to discovering the profound impact of mindfulness and emotional intelligence, facilitated by the gentle wisdom of horses. With her deep equestrian roots, Jennifer recounts the evolution of her relationship with horses.
