The beautiful depths of life require connection with others. God created humanity for relationship. Much of our culture today draws us away from deep connection with others–but the longing never leaves us. It is the design God wove into humanity.
Part of the plans for Heartsong Ministry include using horses (and other animals, in time) to teach relationship principles. The ABCs of Relationships is the beginning of those curriculum plans.
As you read, consider posting comments or questions. Have you seen these principles in your own relationships? Are there other key components to healthy, thriving connections you feel need to be included?

Each ‘letter’ offers one or more AART opportunities. Awareness is the starting place. In most every relationship, we enter in consumed with self–even when we think we are thinking of the other. In reality, our thoughts are really on how we feel about the other–not on their best interests. In an AART session, participants practice the art of relationship with the horse to gain insights into personal realtionships.
