What This Is

A 6-Month Journey into Sovereign Love, Co-Creation, and Spiritual Partnership

February - September 2026 | Mulino, OR & Online


This is a sacred field of relational initiation—a 6-month container where horses, land, and Life itself become your guides.

Your relationship becomes the altar.

Nature becomes the mirror.

Every conversation, trigger, silence, and reconnection becomes a portal into deeper truth, liberation, and love.

This isn’t couples therapy. It’s a spiritual initiation into partnership that mirrors the intelligence of nature: interdependent, sovereign, truth-based, and regenerative. Over six months, you’ll be guided by the Earth, the herd, and ancient Life principles that reveal how to move from projection into presence, from drama into sacred conflict, from co-dependence into true co-creation.

Relational Healing & Skill Building:

  • Tools for healing harm and resentment from a place of sovereignty

  • Skills to navigate the Projection Field and transform relational drama

  • Practices to establish individual sovereignty and energetic clarity

  • Embodied frameworks for consent, co-creation, and truth-based connection

  • A pathway from co-dependence to interdependence, aligned with Life’s design

Guided Support & Ritual Practice:

  • Two private 90-minute sessions per couple with Brad and Lauryn

  • Two 2-hour group Zoom sessions for shared learning and integration

  • Two 3-day in-person Equine Immersion Retreats with horses and land-based ritual

  • Access to a private Slack group for reflection, integration, and peer support

Optional Post-Container Deep Dive:

After the 6-month journey, couples can opt into a Deep Dive Integration Session at an additional initiation cost. Each partner will have the opportunity to go deeper into their own soul work while being held by their partner. You’ll each take turns holding space, witnessing, and being witnessed—mirroring the way horses guide and Life initiates.

Horses are mirrors of truth. They reflect what lives in our body—not what we say, but what we carry. They do not perform, fix, or project. They show us who we are. They teach trust without control, presence without force, and intimacy without enmeshment. Horses guide us back to coherence—within ourselves, and with each other.

Brad Lande-Shannon

Owner, Head Leadership Coach

A long-time C-suite executive himself, Brad Lande-Shannon has a first-hand understanding of the pressures and stresses that face company founders, leaders, and high performance teams. This is partly why he first turned to Natural Leadership as he faced his own professional challenges.

Brad's passion for horses has been a life-long pursuit. Having competed with the National Cutting Horse Association as a youth and now as an adult amateur dressage competitor, he’s combined his deep horse expertise with his executive leadership coaching. Over the course of his career, Brad has guided thousands of leaders on values, purpose, emotional intelligence, and well-being.

Certified in the 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership and following training from The Center for Equus Coaching (formerly The Koelle Institute), Brad enrolled in the Natural Leadership program. Compared to other programs, Brad says Natural Leadership is, “deceptively simple and multi-dimensional in its use cases to apply and teach.”

Brad has an equestrian facility that offers Natural Leadership facilitation, coaching and programming at Awake Ranch, near Portland, Oregon, which he acquired with his husband in late 2022. “We are home to 16 horses, three goats, and two cats surrounded by Pacific Northwest trees and on farmland that regularly displays exquisite sunset and sunrise views.”

A lifelong learner, Lauryn holds a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Florida, a Master’s in Curriculum Planning and Design from National Louis University, and certifications in Conscious Leadership Coaching and Equine-Assisted Therapies.

When not coaching or facilitating, Lauryn nurtures her connection with nature, designs sacred rituals, and cherishes time with her animals and her son, Taylen.
