Creating Connections:
Exploring How Horses and Nature
Support Your Wellness
Come join us for a fun and engaging workshop that provides opportunities for you to explore the world of equine and nature based therapeutic programming. Although our horses will not be joining us "in person", you will have the opportunity to sneak a peek of what you can experience in our mental health and wellness programming through engaging in some our program's experiential activities. These activities will increase your knowledge and awareness of the healing qualities of horses and nature and how they can support your overall well-being.
Calgary City Teachers' Convention
Personal Growth & Learning Through Nature Based/Equine Therapy
Join us for a day to learn more about the world of Equine-Eco-Psychotherapy (EEP). EEP is a unique approach to wellness, that combines the practices of equine facilitated learning, ecotherapy (also known as nature based therapy) and traditional psychotherapy. During our time together, you will learn more about what this type of equine and nature based therapy is all about, how it works and how it can be helpful for you, your students, clients and staff. You will be introduced to our healing herd of horses and explore how building a relationship with them and aspects of nature during our programs, can provide many healing and empowering personal growth and learning opportunities for individuals.
Building Resilience In The Classroom
This 2 day professional development workshop provides growth opportunities for educators, both professionally and personally through a variety of equine and nature based experiential and theoretical learning in a peaceful, safe, supportive, nurturing and empowering environment.
Participants in this workshop will engage in experiential activities that will increase their knowledge of mental health/wellness and enhance their skills and abilities in the areas of relationships, communication, emotional awareness/regulation and self-care through a strength-based and resiliency lens to be able to better support their students individually and in the classroom.

Connecting With Your Authentic Self
Join us for a day of self exploration and healing through connection with the natural world and equine teachers. Learn how nature and the animal world teaches us about being present and gaining insight into who we are and who we desire to become.
This therapeutic wellness workshop will provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing space for you to connect to your authentic self through a variety of experiential exercises in nature and with equine teachers. During our time together, you will have opportunities to discover more about your authentic self by learning how to listen and trust your intuition by tapping into your inner truth through the practice of self-compassion and creating a greater understanding of your emotional & somatic (body) awareness. By embracing these aspects and acknowledging your existing skill sets, strengths and passions, you will be well on your way to create the future you desire!
