Welcome to Season 2 of Educating to Be Human! In this premiere episode, host Lisa Petrides speaks with Wendy Millet— co-founder of Gallop Ventures, and Director of TomKat Ranch Educational Foundation.
Together, Lisa and Wendy explore what it means to learn in a way that engages both body and mind, restores connection with nature, and builds the kind of presence that can’t be faked. Informed by a deep connection with the natural world, Wendy seeks to share nature’s insights about complexity, interconnectedness, humility, and power. These lessons are central to the teamwork and leadership programs she offers with horses as well as her work running an educational ranch.
We learn how horses act as mirrors of our inner selves, the limits of conventional education, and what it means to reclaim embodied learning in an increasingly disembodied world. Whether you’re a teacher, a parent, a leader, or someone rethinking how we show up in the world—this episode will move you to reconsider what learning really means.
Wendy co-founded Gallop Ventures LLC, an equine leadership program to facilitate human/nature connections. She is also Director of TomKat Ranch Educational Foundation in Pescadero, CA where she and her team work to bring a paradigm shift to how people live in harmony with the planet. In addition, she offers her support, as board member and advisor, to nature-based organizations and individuals who are working to expand awareness about the power and potential of nature to heal and care for us.
In our podcast today, Wendy invites us to slow down, feel, and listen—not just with our ears, but with our whole bodies. And for learners of all ages, Wendy helps people reconnect to something essential: emotional, physical, and ecological wisdom.
