Corporate Events Provide a Unique, Transformative Experience

During the month of August, Renew was honored two host two special days of exploration, learning, and growth with a program called REAL, Renew Equine Assisted Learning. These hands on experiences provide corporate teams, nonprofits, community organizations, and groups a very unique learning experience that allows the opportunity to deepen work relationships, increase productivity, improve teamwork and determine strategy to reach organizational goals.

This program requires no previous horse experience. It is designed to be participant-led for those who are open to new learnings about themselves and others. The learning is kinesthetic and somatic, and there will are times built in for discussion, reflection and goal setting. It is not about horsemanship or riding … it is about strengthening your team.

A group of local leaders that participated in a program called Leading By Design came together for an afternoon of REAL in mid-August. And towards the end of the month Renew hosted the staff from the Howard Miller Library for a day of professional development as they participated in growth activities alongside the horses.

If you would like to learn more about this exciting offering, please reach out to Melissa at melissa.conner@renewtrc.org today.
