Upcoming Online Courses

EQUUS offers online courses throughout the year on varied topics based on the mission and values of ancient nature-based wisdom, neuroscience, contemplative wisdom, somatic coaching, innovative leadership, and life-long learning.

Though online, class sizes are designed to be deliberately small, with a low student-teacher ratio, ensuring a high quality and personalized experience. Courses are held once a year, and space is very limited.  

Welcome to the EQUUS Academy

—where learning is an adventure, and transformation is the destination. 

EQUUS is at the forefront of a new narrative that recognizes the need for wisdom alongside intelligence to succeed. In rapidly changing times, our lives and organizations must be highly adaptive. Traditional approaches to living and leading are no longer effective for today’s challenges. New capacities of awareness, wisdom, and presence are required, which emerge through carefully designed conditions.

EQUUS creates those conditions.  

Our courses are for you if you are:

  • A lifelong learner seeking profound growth and real, sustained and measurable change

  • A business owner looking to lead from nature's wisdom and create an innovative and resilient organizational culture

  • A creative, intuitive, therapist, or educator seeking robust personal and professional development opportunities to manifest their vision

  • A member of a YPO or EO wanting to create a meaningful group process

  • A coach wanting to expand your awareness, acumen and skillsets for your clients 

  • An influential thought leader, senior level leader, or proactive high performing individual who has ‘done it all’ but senses there is still something more

  • A parent wanting to have more self-awareness and wisdom for your important job of raising amazing humans

  • "EQUUS and its classes cannot be explained, only experienced. When you find your courage, run, don’t walk. Then settle yourself into the possibilities. It will be life changing if you let it."

    Kristie Campbell

  • "The power of realizing the connection of my soul to where I belong with a new felt sense of confidence is my new path. A path illuminated to becoming all it is meant to be. I am grateful to Kelly and the entire EQUUS team. It is my pleasure to recommend their teachings and life changing experiences."

    Debra A. Canales

Reclaiming Your Self Agency in a World that Wants to Tame You – an uncommon assertiveness course for people who care. 

This intensive fourteen-week course co-facilitated by EQUUS CEO Kelly Wendorf and EQUUS Faculty Adam Ramcharan is designed to assist individuals to navigate the complicated world of human dynamics with forthcoming, transparent, and respectful self-agency, and self-care. We are not taught how to express ourselves authentically, nor express our boundaries harmoniously. Interpersonal dynamics become stressful, and important opportunities are lost. If left unchanged, this leads to depression, isolation, resentment and a haunting sense that something more is possible. If you are ready to move outside of your comfort zones and enter into the raw and wild places where change truly happens, then this game-changing course is for you.
