Coaching with donkeys

Donkey coaching is a holistic, experiential process that creates space for personal development, self-awareness, and inner clarity.

The coaching is structured as a multi-session process—ideal for working on individual topics and pursuing personal goals over time.
However, a single session already offers a valuable and enriching experience, providing insights and impulses for reflection and change.

In each session, the donkey is actively involved as a sensitive, intuitive partner. Their reactions often reflect subtle emotional states of the person, offering meaningful feedback to better understand one’s own feelings, thought patterns, and behaviors.

At the core is humanistic coaching: appreciative, resource-oriented, and on equal footing. A coaching session is not therapy but an invitation to experience oneself anew in the encounter with the animal.

The donkey as a co-coach places no demands, makes no judgments, but responds honestly and directly to what is present. In this unique human-animal relationship, deep insights often emerge—about one’s behavior, relationships, and what truly matters right now.
