VIRTUAL NL for Spiritual Connection

Learn more

NL for Spiritual Connection is now offered in a virtual format! Gather with us via Zoom in a small group to explore contemplative practices and themes. Experience and learn how to help yourself and others find a place of deeper connection, resting in our true nature of absolute belonging. We are super excited about this virtual format, which allows us to dive deep at a slower pace so that we may explore, grow, and integrate the content naturally over 12 biweekly sessions and in the context of our daily lives.

Building Your Resilience

Learn more

Working in the mental health and helping professions can be psychologically and emotionally taxing. We all know, intellectually, that we need deep and restorative self-care in order to be at our best. Now, offering our support to clients is harder than ever. If there ever was a time when we needed to focus on filling our own wells, it is now. That’s why The Natural Lifemanship Institute, in collaboration with our students and partner sites, is offering the Building Your Resilience series: multiple online opportunities for profound self-care - through mindfulness, meditation, self-reflection, and more. Please join us for what we hope will be deeply restorative online workshops in our connected community of helpers and healers.

The NEW! Business Building Master Class

The Business Building Master Class was created to help you build the business of your dreams, without the expensive lessons that many new business owners in this field learn along the way.

This course meets online for 13 virtual sessions of 90 minutes each and includes a whole lot of personalized support!

Connected Horsemanship Training

There are plenty of places to learn horsemanship skills - but none carry the deeply healing and consciously humane values of Natural Lifemanship.

NL Personal Intensive

Learn more

It is said that you cannot take clients on journeys that you have not traveled. To serve our clients well, we must have personal experience navigating some of the profound aspects of human experience. How aware are you of your attachment style? Do you know how it impacts your relating, and in particular, how it impacts your work with clients? Participate in active learning as you explore your own approach to the world, and how intentional therapeutic experiences can move us all toward more secure attachment.

SPECIAL Relationship Logic Immersion Training and Campout – Wild Horse Sanctuary, Shingletown, CA

Learn more

Join us for a very special, rustic, 4-day immersion training cabin camping at Northern California's beautiful Wild Horse Sanctuary! This one-of-a-kind experience gives you the opportunity to experience the process of building a connected relationship with a wild horse. Connect with nature, connect with yourself, connect with wild horses, connect with NL trainers, and connect with each other. This experience sells out fast and typically is offered once per year.

Rhythmic Riding Immersion

Learn more

The purpose of mounted work in TF-EAP is to deepen the connection the client experiences with the horse while leveraging the physiological support that the movement of the horse provides. Mounted work provides a powerful opportunity for clients to deepen their sense of connection with themselves and with their horse while benefitting from "bottom-up regulation." The NL Intensive is required prior to attending this training.

Natural Lifemanship Intensive

Learn more

The NL Intensive is an advanced, hands-on training for people who have completed the Fundamentals of Natural Lifemanship. In a small group setting working with a partner you will spend 3 days building a connected relationship with your horse (on the ground, and possibly, eventually mounted) and helping your partner do the same. The NL Intensive is required for basic NL certification and is also a pre-requisite for the Relationship Logic and the Rhythmic Riding Immersions.

Equine Connected EMDR (EC-EMDR)

Learn more

Natural Lifemanship EC-EMDR training is a three-day hands-on training workshop for EMDR trained clinicians and their EPs who practice Natural Lifemanship Trauma-Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (TF-EAP).
