Our Programs
Some programs are delivered by the Foundation and our faculty. Others are carried by community partners, with the Foundation holding the space around them.
All are designed to remove barriers: no one is turned away because of cost.
Our Core Programs
Raven’s Nest
Ĩyethka Girls’ Camp
Created and led by women from the Stevens family of Mînî Thnî, the camp draws on a matriarchal lineage of knowledge keepers who are passionate about empowering the next generation of Ĩyethka youth.
Equine Programs
Mountain Stone Equine & Equine Connections
Horsemanship, confidences, and calm: Mountain Stone Equine’s youth programs and our Equine Connection sessions.
Life on the Land
Our Annual Free Community Day
Life on the Land is a free community celebration: hands-on workshops, horses to meet, yoga, storytelling, traditional crafts, live music, and food trucks, with programming led by partners from across Treaty 7 and the Bow Valley. Come for an hour or stay for the day.
The Midlife Shift
Support through midlife and menopause
Monthly workshops blending movement, mindfulness, and honest conversation to normalize and empower women's health. Created by Simmi Latulippe and now facilitated by Lindsay Williams.
Lucent Festival
The great gathering of the Bow Valley summer
Every August, the ranch fills with tents, music, and families for Lucent Festival, a weekend celebrating connection, nature, and community, hosted by our partner Embodied Living. Now in its twelfth year.
First Responders & Guides
Supporting the people who support others
Some of the steadiest people in our mountain communities carry the heaviest loads. Through our partnership with Mountain Muskox, the ranch hosts programming for ACMG mountain guides working through trauma and PTSD, and our charitable purpose extends to first responders across the Bow Valley.
Rooted in Research: Why the land works
The steadiness people feel here has a growing body of science behind it.
Time in natural settings is consistently linked with lower stress hormones, better mood and focus, and even stronger immune function. Canadian doctors now prescribe time outdoors through programs like PaRx, which recommends at least two hours in nature each week.
A major UK evaluation of green social prescribing, following more than 8,000 people, found meaningful gains in happiness and reductions in anxiety, particularly among people underserved by conventional supports.
Long before the research, Indigenous and land-connected communities have held this knowledge.
Our programs are built on this evidence, and on what impact we see on the land every day.
Taking Part
The simplest way to take part is to get in touch and tell us who you are and what you are looking for. Schools, youth workers, and community organizations are warmly invited to refer participants.
