We could list out a lot of studies run that give facts regarding the healing that occurs in humans, when they are in wide open spaces, non-polluted air – no traffic to deal with – no time-clock to punch – just you, yours, the landscape around you to sit in awe of – whether it’s a night of stargazing where you can actually see the stars, or watching the storm clouds that move through the sky, providing rainbows, blazing sunsets or sunrises, or the simple rocks, soil and plants that live where we do….

We could also tell you about the changes in human physiology when petting an animal, caring for an animal or simply sitting beside one. The peace that arrives in your mind and heart. The connections to be made with animals – the inter-dependent web of love that just starts to flow between you and them, when you learn more, show up and just be your true heart self.

Slow Down, Enjoy, Heal
Sure, there are always things to do and places to be. The weather can change in a heartbeat. Living things need taken care of, brains in need of learning and hearts in need of mending often find their way to our door.
There will always be, for all of us, challenges to be met, obstacles to overcome.
There is always a past to heal from, a present to meet, a future to dream of and/or plan, for all of us.
A diverse group of folks make their way to our place and can’t wait to visit again…
