Approved Training Provider

Learning from NL has not only changed my practice, it’s transformed my life. Having trained with other organizations, I expected to enhance what I already knew. What resulted was a personal and professional metamorphosis that positively impacted my work with clients, strengthened my connection to my horses, and ignited a healing deep within myself. When people ask me about NL, I tell them it is life changing.

Get to Know Natural Lifemanship®

Horses are powerful partners because…

Horses are capable of engaging in healthy, genuine connection, relationship, and partnership. This relationship can be profoundly deeper than words.

A HORSE IS NOT

  • A tool for our healing, an object, a mirror, or a metaphor
  • A flawless magical creature capable of divine intervention
  • A therapist
  • A human

A HORSE IS

  • A herd animal who depends on interconnected and complex relationships
  • A mammal who craves connection and authenticity
  • A highly sensitive creature who relies on ongoing, subtle, and embodied communication
  • A sentient being, an individual, with their own wants, needs, and histories— including their own wounds to heal

Looking for equine assisted personal growth or therapy options for yourself?

We have two exclusive paths designed to support you in your own healing journey.

Our personal growth workshops, trainings, and retreats provide opportunities for connecting deeper to yourself, building internal resilience, and moving forward towards health and wellness.

Simply choose your path below, and begin your journey.

Belonging to a People and a Place
Belonging to a People and a Place

In my twenties  I went on a silent retreat at a convent that my spiritual director recommended.  This was the very beginning of a contemplative journey that I am so glad to have begun. During this time, I was at a crossroads and I needed this chance to step away and...
