Get Free Lodging on 2025 Trainings at NL Headquarters
Twice a year, we do something really special. We release our calendar of trainings for the next 6 months and offer free lodging for NL trainings at Natural Lifemanship Headquarters in Brenham, Texas for a limited time. That special time is now!
When you sign up by June 2nd, you will save hundreds of dollars on every NL training you attend in Brenham and we’re so pleased to be able to offer this now that we have a beautiful NL Headquarters with the HomePlace Inn right on site!
How much are you saving?
Lodging at the HomePlace Inn is normally $175/night + a $99 cleaning fee + 27% Airbnb fees/taxes. Your free lodging for trainings includes coming in the day before the training, plus the duration of your training. So if you are coming for a two-day training, you’ll get a 3 night stay for free! If you’re coming in for a three-day training, you’ll get a 4 night stay for free!
Three Day Training
4 nights = $175 x 4
Cleaning Fee = $99
Airbnb Fees/Taxes (27%) = $1014.73 SAVED!
Four Day Training
5 nights = $175 x 5

Let’s Learn Together
To guide you in your journey, enhance your healing practice, and grow your impact, we offer the following:
Fundamentals of NL
The Fundamentals is one of our signature trainings, designed to teach you the powerful process we’ve developed for creating deep, connected relationships based on our unique principles—and implement it into your own life and practice.
This training has no pre-requisites and is step #1 in the certification process.
Upcoming Dates:
- September 8 – November 7
This training is online. Registration for each Fundamentals training will open up about two weeks before the training begins.
NL Intensive
The NL Intensive is taken after the Fundamentals when you’ve gained a solid foundation for using the Natural Lifemanship principles. In the Intensive, you’ll go deeper into your personal growth and embody your unique and powerful practice to build on your relationship with yourself, your clients, and your horses.
Being Fundamentals Level 1 trained is the pre-requisite for this training, and this is step #2 in the certification process.
Upcoming Dates:
- August 18 – December 12
This training is online. Registration for the Intensive training will open up about two weeks before the training begins.
