Our 10 day land based educational retreats ran from July to September for 2023 and 2024. They were open to all 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals between the ages of 15 and 29 years old. By connecting to culture, the land, horses and themselves, stronger and more confident individuals were able to emerge that develop the skills and positive identity needed to be feel inclusivity and positive spaces within the community and city. Goals are to become a part of spaces and find others where they may have felt disconnected in the past.
Excitement for 2026! We have both the capacity to expand and continue to serve the population with our existing staff, volunteers and Elders and by utilizing our existing land space for program facilitation. We are expanding to increase the number of programs offered to the surrounding Treaty 6 community members (including busing to our location for the multi-day programs.)

1)Plants and medicines
2) Land-based survival skills and bonding experiences

4) Traditional equine therapy for healing
