Humans are wired to thrive in connection with the natural world and within safe, attuned relationships. Our mission is to create a restorative space to nurture these deeply rooted biological needs in support of healing and in nourishing resilience. Our programs have been mindfully developed through listening to the lessons of nature; a nourishing environment is inherently healing, and provides the ideal conditions for continued growth and development. At Stable Roots, we are fostering an environment that supports healing and nurtures both tentative and emergent growth - from the roots up!

OUR STORY
Our vision grew from an adolescent’s experience of attempting to navigate mental health and educational systems during a very vulnerable time in her life. This left her with a deep yearning for something beyond the support services being offered to her at the time. It was within her relationship with her horse and in the connections made within this barn community that she was able to find solace. She began imagining a space that could offer mental health support, connection with nature & horses, and educational opportunities - all within a nourishing, safe environment. She dreamed of natural space for people to heal, where they could find a sense of purpose and belonging, and explore their own interests through facilitated learning opportunities and in building healthy relationships.
​
As she navigated her own wellness journey and worked towards high school graduation through alternative roots, her vision grew. Finally, on healing land near Kamloops, BC, the seed was at last planted. With the nourishment, loving care, and collaboration with others within the community who dream the same dream, Stable Roots is now blossoming and bearing fruit. We look forward to welcoming you here.
