Tara started her “horse journey” at eight years old. Her engagement with horses is diverse from leading trail rides at the Parkman’s riding stable in East Royalty, to riding lessons, horse showing, and intensive training in equine-assisted learning and mental health promotion. Trainings include Natural Lifemanship, EAGALA, and over five years of mentorship delivering adjunct therapeutic programs for individuals with mental health issues.
She was involved in a cutting-edge research project in conjunction with Serene View Ranch, UPEI Health Sciences and the Atlantic Vet College as the lead facilitator of a program for Veterans. She is passionate about the lessons and connections that can be learned for mental, emotion, spiritual and leadership growth.

In this one-day retreat you will be guided to connect with principles and practices of mindfulness and the interplay with horses. These will include, but not limited to attitudes of curiosity/ non-judging, gratitude, authenticity and strengthening the voice of our inner wisdom (inner coach, inner sage, whatever you want to name her, him or they). We will practice a number of grounding, and calming exercises in a group, and then with the horses. There will be education and practice for basic grooming, connecting, leading and challenge exercises with our equine partners. Time will be provided for Mandala creating and mindful journaling techniques for reflection on a goal, dream, intention, area of change or growth. This will be a place to explore where you are at, potential challenges, limiting beliefs and practices cultivating strength within to meet obstacles in renewed ways.

Empowering the Brilliance, Boldness and Beauty within Ourselves and One Another for Meaningful Living and a Better World.
These programs are directed towards individuals who are committed to living their best lives for themselves, for their family, their friends, their workplaces and the communities they live in. AND are interested in engaging with horses for inspired community, connection, personal growth and leadership development.
Ghandi said, "be the change you want to see in the world".
A time and space geared towards slowing down, tuning in, strengthening relationship to self and others through the intersections of mindfulness attitudes, mental skills, space for emotion and the interplay of concepts with equine partners. Facilitators will be providing the guidance to journey with horses. Each program will feature foundational theory, and an emphasis on experiential learning. In additional to the theory and experiential components, participants will leave with mindfulness-mental skills and meditations.
