What is the Rewilding Project?

Personal Empowerment with Horses

Using "on the ground" techniques with horses to enhance personal abilities within ourselves including:​

  • ​Mindfulness 

  • Emotional intelligence 

  • Confidence 

  • Assertiveness 

  • Awareness of one's self and their surroundings

“REWILDING”

A term used in nature conservation describing the process of returning the land back to its natural state of being.

What does Rewilding mean to us?

An exploration process to:

  • Reconnect with our inner being

  • ​Connect with the world and those in it  

  • Find our roots, a natural and profound sense of grounding

  • Discover and understand our sense of self and identity

Why Horses?

  • Develop Awareness

  • Build Confidence

  • Practice Leadership

  • Learn Healthy Assertiveness

Horses are very in tune with their environment and who and what is in it. They are always taking in their surroundings. They are constantly on the lookout for threats and communicating this with their body. This is how they communicate in a herd and what aids their survival. 

When working with horses, we have to enhance our awareness and take note of the subtle cues we can observe in their body language. We learn how to observe and make decisions confidently using our intuition.

Due to their herd instinct, horses are always looking for clear leadership from those around them. The herd dynamic creates a structure where they are always checking in with each other. Horses will often check in and sometimes a challenge to see who is on their game and who is becoming a little less clear in their leadership. This keeps the herd strong!

Who Should Sign Up?

The Rewilding Project is for women of all ages who are unfamiliar or looking to reconnect with horses. This is a unique experience for self-discovery and making personal changes.  

This Program is for You if you’re looking to:

  • Connect more with animals

  • Boost your inner strength

  • Create healthy boundaries 

  • Develop focus

  • Build community

A Note from Michaela

I am beyond passionate about this work because we are living in a world where we are all so connected and yet we have never been more disconnected. We are shut down, shut off, desensitized, and removed from the world as well as ourselves.

Horses have a way of asking us to pull off the mask and show up at a root level!

In my work with people and horses, it is so fulfilling to witness a person begin to tap into their OWN light, speak their OWN truth, and show their soul.

I invite you to come and deepen your sense of awareness, find your strength, and discover what connection means to you!
