About Holistic Equitation
When Holistic Equitation was born, it was born out of the idea of "Holism" meaning all, entire, total. It's the idea that all properties of a given system can't be explained by its component alone. Instead the system as a whole determines in an important way how the parts behave.
The idea of "Holism" is the foundation of everything about Holistic Equitation including the management style of the organisation.
There is NO hierachy in Holistic Equitation, instead we operate as a nucleus, sharing and expanding upon each member's talents, experience and passions.
There are no followers and there is not one leader, Holistic Equitation is made up of an eclectic mix of people who are all leaders in their own right, who offer tremendous value to HE.
The philosophy of HE is that everyone is responsible and nobody needs to be governed by another. People need to feel connected to others, yet people with strong ambitions and leadership qualities also want a high level of autonomy. HE offers this by it's Matrix Foundation, HE attracts people sharing in a philosophy, coming together, yet being respected for who they are and what they bring to the table.
Our belief in this process will attract only those with leadership qualities who are able to work side by side in a respectful, honourable, trust worthy, authentic manner allowing each person to excel in their area of expertise without judgement or dominance.
Each member of HE is a valued member and is cherished for their input, their creativity and their individualism, HE is not about changing people, it's about honouring people for who they are and offering support, guidance and educational opportunities as they arise.
HE has a set of guiding principles that each member is committed to and in joining the team of HE there is an acceptance, understanding and committment to the conduct of oneself according to those guiding principles.
The "Holistic Equitation" brand is owned and run by Jason and Jo McInnes and it is their desire to offer this brand as a license to like minded professionals and leaders in the industry to build the philosophy and understanding of the brand.
This is not a system that attracts followers but a matrix which attracts leaders and visionaries (although some contributors may have systems that people follow, the matrix of leaders is not a system itself)
The guiding principles were created by Joanne, Jason and Kailie who have worked together to build the philosophy around Holistic Equitation.
