Sexual violence and resulting trauma are a body-based experience, therefore, cognitive oriented therapies can only support healing to a certain point.  Somatic, mindfulness-based and experiential therapies have been found to be effective in mitigating many of the challenging symptoms resulting from the deep neurological mapping of this experience.

This presentation will introduce you to one of these experiential therapies; Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP), where horses are partnered with facilitators in the healing process. You will learn the why and how horses are such powerful agents of healing for sexual violence. The presenters apply the current theories of bio/neuro/psycho/social  to working with these amazing beings.  Supportive modalities of expressive arts and current mindfulness-based practices will also be explored.

Presenters: 

Jackie Ashley LPC, BC-DMT, ACS, ESMHL is the owner of Wild At Heart LLC. She has been offering Equine Facilitated Therapy to women with sexual trauma for nearly 2 decades. She is a Somatic and Expressive Arts therapist and teaches Mindfulness and Meditation at Naropa University.

In the current historical and cultural moment, we face strong resistance to DEI work. Why now, and how can we be better prepared as we confront these challenges? We will examine strategies for responding in the moment, as well as ways of reframing our DEI work to preempt resistance from the start.

Presenters will be Dr. Abby Ferber, Professor of Sociology and Women’s and Ethnic Studies at UCCS, and Dr. Andrea Herrera, Professor of Women’s and Ethnic Studies at UCCS.
