Effective relationship with horses as with people depends on the quality of our self knowledge and subsequent communication. In this workshop we examine the concept of projection and the role it plays in our inner-actions with horses, others and ourselves. The emphasis here is generalizing the AIA principles to facets of everyday life through the lens of world behind our eyes. Our focus is the round ring tending gestalts. Our emphasis is the role of "witness."
