Natural
Lifemanship for Spiritual Connection
Take a Deep Dive into Contemplative
Connection With Yourself and Others.
Explore the ways in which contemplative spirituality intersects with Natural Lifemanship equine-assisted practice.
Experience the power and intimacy of the circle.
Gain insights and practices to help your clients and yourself cultivate a more abiding sense of connection and belonging.
The spiritual realm of life is where you seek meaning and belonging. It may also be the place of some of yours, and your clients’, deepest wounds.
Through this 3-day in-person training, we help you explore, experience, practice, and transform connection patterns in the depths of your being where your sense of self touches its very source and the ground of all being. Learn how to bring yourself and others to a place of deeper connection, resting in the true nature of absolute belonging.
Please note: This training is non-religious and non-denominational. Although the content is largely drawn from the Christian contemplative tradition, we honor the common roots of all contemplative traditions. People of all belief systems and spiritual orientations are welcome and encouraged to join us in creating a space where everyone belongs.
“This experience was such a divine appointment. The women, the beautiful herd, the place–it was truly a sacred space. So thankful for Laura and Kathleen for creating a quiet, holy circle for us to connect authentically to each other, the herd, and to be still enough to notice the rhythms of our lives and our need for ‘divine therapy’.”
