Resource Library
The list of books, podcasts and articles below have been culled by our team so that you’ll be up-to-date with changes and additions we make to the curriculum — from the perspectives of your own process of development, your role as facilitators or to gain a better understanding of your clients and yourselves.
Within the Modules, we have highlighted chapters within books that pertain to the subject being studied — so that you don’t have to read the ‘whole’ book unless you want to dig deeper.
We do recommend that you read the following books in their entirety: The Body Keeps the Score, The Tao of Equus, Riding Between the Worlds and Tribe. We know you all are busy, so our aim is to make the highest and best use of your time.
We will add to the Library on a bi-monthly basis and will send email alerts.
