Additional Programming

  • One-On-One Sessions

    We get it, group settings aren't for everyone. Sometimes, you just need to unload, unwind and just "be". Manidoowi Bezhigoogzhii offers a variety or programming to suit any individuals needs. We follow the same curriculum, but gear it specifically to you.

    Sometimes we are seeking some direction in life.

    EAL is suitable for everyone. Concepts and/or principles we assist in addressing could include but are not limited to:
    Self-esteem
    Communication
    Healthy relationships
    Leadership skills
    Assertiveness
    Trust
    Patience
    Understanding emotions as information
    Setting boundaries​

  • Student Team Building

    We also offer this in one-on-one sessions can address:
    Teamwork
    Problem-solving skills
    Communication skills
    Respect
    Self-confidence
    Assertiveness
    Healthy emotional expression
    Boundary setting
    Building healthy relationships

    EAL can be beneficial for everybody. Horses are judgement-free and give 100% transparent responses. Children and youth that are struggling socially, emotionally or that perhaps require a subtle confidence boost can benefit from this amazing experiential learning with horses.

    Children and/or youth with Specific Learning Difficulties (SLD), those on the autistic spectrum can also benefit hugely from EAL. Anxiety management and increased confidence and speech are just some of the benefits reported in research on the topic.

    Student leaders such as prefects and head boys/girls can benefit from leadership skills development. Everyone can learn more about working together as a cohesive team and communicating as a team.

  • Office/Corporate Team Building

    Office settings can be a LOT! Let's face it, not everyone is a team player. Burrden Acres knows this, pretty well the whole world knows this. But what we have found, is that the main contributing factor to unnecessary conflict in offices or the classroom, is often caused by misunderstanding and miscommunication, or a lack of either/both.

    Our main objective in our Team Building exercises, IS "Communication". Lighten the setting, get outside, have fun and share some laughs.

    Do you want to encourage a positive environment and positive relationships between members of your team?

    Do you want to identify the effective leaders in your team to best position those working for you?

    EAL is beginning to increase in popularity in the corporate sector in businesses in in our area.

    We can custom programs and workshops designed specifically to the needs of particular staff.

    ​Learning and Team Building interactions could address:
    Cooperation
    Communication
    Relationship building
    Trust
    Self-esteem
    Assertiveness
    Problem-solving skills
    Teamwork
    Morale

    We also provide individual workshops for leaders and managers, or specific staff with specific needs.
