Sacred Landscapes
Honoring the Places Within Us and Around Us
“To know the spirit of a place is to recognize that you are a part of a part and that the whole is made of parts – each of which is whole, itself.”
– GARY SNYDER
In this next chapter, we meet again.
Join us and other practitioners from around the world for our first in-person conference in more than two years–to honor the sacred spaces that reside within us and exist around us.
Over the course of three days, we will come together to celebrate the natural space that we now call home, and be reminded of the value of community.
Come feel the gift of place, the safety of belonging, and the excitement of connected, in-person learning.

Then from November 9th-11th, all members of our community are invited to gather for our in-person conference, Sacred Landscapes: Honoring the Places Within Us and Around Us. Our Community Pass offers a shared experience of growing, healing, and reunification.
Let’s Meet Once Again… In Community
It has been two long years since we have brought everyone together in-person, and shared in our experiences of growing, learning, and healing. Now, it is time for us to come together once again—and what better place to meet than in the place we now call home. The place that has been gifted to us—that we hope to share with you.
Read about our NEW Natural Lifemanship facility and what makes it the perfect place for our long-awaited reunion.
“I had my first few sessions back after the conference and I believe they were the richest, deepest sessions I have had with clients and my horses in a long time because of the new tools I learned from this conference. ”
– SHANNON MARIE, ADIRONDACK EQUINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

About The Natural Lifemanship Place
“Where we are affects who we are.”
– ERIC WEINER
For years people have told us that they wanted to come to the
“The Natural Lifemanship place.”
The problem? We have never had just one.
Through the years more than 50 different people/organizations have hosted our trainings and events.
They have cared for us, contributed to the accessibility and furthering of this powerful work, and rich relationships have been built.
Today, however, through the generosity of That’s The Dream Ranch, we’ve found our place.
A place to deepen our relationships, our creativity, and our impact in the world.
A place that influences who we are, how we feel, and how we connect to one another. A place created with you in mind.
A place guided by our values—where connection is seen and felt in everything that we do.
A place with a magical creek that splits and borders the property, a beautiful pond and hay pasture, different varieties of wise and breathtaking trees, and a dreamy arena— all of which call us to come, and sit, and be.
And in this place, we’re preparing a place for you.
