The Windhorse therapeutic approach was developed in 1981 by Chogyam Trungpa and Dr. Edward Podvoll. It is based on the Buddhist understanding of fundamental sanity and the inseparability of ones entire life from ones environment, while integrating applicable Western psychology.

The primary activity involves creating individually tailored, therapeutic living environments for people with a variety of mental health challenges. Within these comprehensively coordinated arrangements, clients are able to significantly reduce the chaos and confusion of mental disturbances and improve life functioning.

"Windhorse" refers to a mythic horse, famous throughout central Asia, who rides in the sky and is the symbol of a person's energy and discipline to uplift himself. Windhorse is literally an energy in the body and mind, which can be aroused in the service of healing an illness or overcoming depression. from Windhorse Project founder Dr. Edward Podvoll's book Recovering Sanity (Shambhala Publications, 2003, p. 224); previously published as The Seduction of Madness by HarperCollins, 1990.

"Delight in itself is the approach of sanity. Delight is to open our eyes to the reality of the situation rather than siding with this or that point of view."

Chgyam Trungpa Rinpoche from The Myth of Freedom and the Way of Meditation
