Our firm was founded in 2008 by Terry Murray, a seasoned executive with over two decades of leadership, strategic planning, and organizational development. Terry’s distinguished track record of entrepreneurial, innovative thinking, and execution has contributed more than $1 billion of market valuation growth in companies ranging from investor-driven startups to multi-national, global corporations. In his search for a catalytic approach for initiating a shift in conditioned perspectives, Terry attended the inaugural Professional and Life Coaching Through The Way Of The Horse Program (a certified International Coach Federation program) at The Epona Center in 2008. He extended his studies into the transformational power of the horse-human relationship by completing the Epona Apprenticeship Program, graduating as an Approved Epona Instructor in 2009. He’s gone on to co-create the award-winning Warriors in Transition program with Linda Kohanov, and is the author of “The Transformational Entrepreneur ~ Engaging The Mind, Heart, & Spirit For Breakthrough Business Success“.
Our specially designed, ground-based exercises with the horses help illuminate a path towards higher consciousness. Horses act as emotional mirrors for humans, without judgement, opening a door to an infinite space of reflective learning. From this place we can release the anxiety of tumultuous change, alleviate the pressures of modern life, and help each of us rediscover our authentic self. In doing so, we resonate differently with others, be they business partners, customers, prospects, family members, or friends. The horses demonstrate and model how we can be highly aware (they are prey animals, always on the alert for predators), yet at peace with ourselves and our hectic, noisy, often exhausting world. As we like to say in our workshops, the horses can teach us how to return to grazing!
