Facilitators will share their experiences of implementing and experiencing the EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning) model as a teaching modality for deepening their understanding of creative counseling theories. Participants will learn how using alternative teaching modalities, like equine facilitated learning, can enhance their students learning outcomes by creating a non-traditional classroom space that allows for an in-depth experience of animal-assisted counseling which is one form of creative counseling. Development of learning objectives will be shared, in addition to hearing both the instructor and students' perspectives of the learning experience.
