About your facilitators...

Adonica Sweet, MCC, CEC, turns conflict into connection and unlocks brilliance through inclusive practices, supervision, and coach development. A Master Certified Coach, award-winning leader, and global facilitator, she blends neuroscience, trauma-informed practices, and the Being Profile® to transform coaching and leadership from the inside out.

"When people feel safe to be seen and heard, you unleash brilliance."

Leann Manuel is a life long horsewoman, nationally decorated competitive rider, and CHA Master Instructor who could safely argue that she was raised by horses. Her innovative approach and entrepreneurship within the horse industry has kept a near impossible dream alive as she continues to hold space for some of the least likely lesson horses and the humans who adore them.

Paired with her work as an advocate and social worker, she continues to apply her creativity and broad vision with a grounding and presence that can anchor a whole herd. It's why many call her the 'Boss Mare' after all.

"A horse’s natural way of being beautifully supports our own innate needs for freedom, safety, and belonging.  They respond best to us when we can leave pretense and shame behind and come all the way back down to earth."
