In Horses and the Mystical Path, the authors describe the journey, with their horses as companions, of integrating spirituality and religion with their professional psychological training.
The psychotherapist family team of Adele, Deborah, and Thomas E. McCormick are pioneers in using Peruvian Paso horses to help severely emotionally disturbed teenagers and adults. Their Three Eagles Equine Experience programs have provided hundreds of people with a powerful, natural way to explore their deeper natures while becoming initiated into the hidden world of animal energy and instinct.
In Horses and the Mystical Path, the McCormicks describe their journey, with their horses as companions, of integrating spirituality and religion with their psychological training. Beginning with a memorable trip to Scotland, when they had early inklings that Celtic spirituality held important insights for an equestrian-partnered spirituality, the McCormicks soon found themselves on a wisdom pilgrimage. From India to Spain to Morocco, they followed the age-old relationship between horses and humans, exploring a mystical path embraced by a seemingly eternal group of horse people.
These men and women intentionally befriended the horse to cultivate the human heart and soul, to reduce the ego, and to live on the cusp of the seen and unseen world. Through serendipitous encounters, the McCormicks discover that the ancient Celtic people gave birth to the prototypical psycho-spiritual paradigm. They explore the Celtic people's longstanding integration of nature, mysticism, and personal development and demonstrate how the horse accompanied the Celts as they spread their spiritual vision far and wide. On their journey, through their interactions with their horses, the McCormicks learned to find a spirit of unity and beauty in everything they do. In the ongoing tradition of the Celtic people, they identify the horse as a symbol of nature and spirit.
