Tapestry Institute is a unique 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was founded in 1998 by a Native American (Choctaw) scientist to operate within Indigenous worldview. We help people reconnect to the natural world — their own bodies, the earth, and things such as story that arise from the earth — by integrating different ways of knowing, learning about, and responding to the natural world. We carry out our work in community, through collaborative efforts among groups of people from highly diverse backgrounds, cultures, areas of expertise, and experience.
Tapestry's Horse-Human Relationship Program began in 2001 and has continued since then with funding from Pierce and Keely Brosnan, Dean Koontz, and many other individuals. Our research and education programs focus on integrating different ways of knowing, learning about, and relating to horses as part of the natural world. Tapestry’s Horse Ibachakali program weaves together ecopsychology, horses, and mindfulness with Indigenous worldview, the Circle and the ways of knowing.
