2024 Summer & Fall Trainings
The community that learns together, grows together.
We are excited to share our outstanding lineup for trainings, practicums, immersions and retreats for Summer and Fall 2024.
A Peek At the HomePlace Inn
It is our deepest desire that every single one of our in- person trainings feels like a retreat for you. Here’s a peek at what you’ll experience when you stay at the HomePlace Inn.
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:
- April 15 – June 14
- September 9 – Nov 8
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 12 – December 6
This training is online. Registration for the Intensive training will open up about two weeks before the training begins.

Stress, burnout, and disconnection from our inner selves is all too common — especially among mental health practitioners who already carry so much.
Natural Lifemanship’s headquarters in Brenham, Texas, is more than just a place to train. It’s your place to unplug and unwind while we hold space for you.
The Nourished self care retreat is 2 days and 3 nights long. (NL Members get three nights for the price of one!) The following dates are currently available:
April 22-24
April 29 – May 3
