Consider a Team Experience with our Herd

Is your leadership ready for a little tune-up? Ready to enhance team communications? At The Mane Intent, we offer professional retreats and wellness workshops working in partnership with horses as natural coaches. Horses have historically been prey animals so their survival has depended on becoming highly sensitive to body language, intent, emotional tone and the position and movement of objects they sense within their environment.

Professional development opportunities include:

  • Exploring personal leadership essence, demonstrated by personal purpose, values, vision and ideas for the organization, expressions of courage, building trust and walking the talk.
  •  Deepening your team’s understanding (individually and collectively) of natural leadership, teamwork, connection, personal presence, trust, managing change and transition, and effective communication.
  •  Enhancing creativity by helping participants collaborate more effectively, stay present, understand resistance
  •  Building resiliency by exploring the emotions that arise at work and learn to best manage them during times of high stress, and
  •  Building teamwork by engaging in meaningful team-building exercises with energy-sensitive horses sensing and responding to unseen group dynamics.

The fastest and most accurate way to discover who you are and what you are presenting to the world is revealed from interacting with a horse. Their personal feedback often reflected in body language is instant and unbiased.

Horses don’t have a pre-existing agenda and they live in the moment. So when we work in partnership with them, they simply reflect back to us any self-limiting perceptions, while helping us to close the gap between how we actually present ourselves to others and how we think we are being. They help us become more aware of ourselves and the impact we have on others around us.

Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

I am a firm believer that occasionally getting out of your comfort zone helps us expand our horizons beyond the everyday. For me, getting out of my comfort zone means travelling alone, making art, and sharing the outcome.  Earlier this year, I travelled to the Flow...
