The way we breathe—short fast breaths when we’re stressed or the satisfying long deep inhale and exhale when we’re relaxed—lets us know what’s going on inside us. We can learn so much by observing ourselves. Take time this month to explore the idea that you might not be able to think your way out of stress and anxiety, but you can find a way through simple breathing exercises. Here at The Ranch, breathing well and deep becomes a natural, easy joy again and underpins almost everything we do.
Wisdom Keeper Week—The Path of the Gardener
Spring has come to The Ranch! Green shoots carpet the landscape, and Tres Estrellas—our organic farm—is bursting with the promise of new crops. What better way to welcome this month than with a week of workshops in the garden? As part of Wisdom Keepers Week, famed organic farmers and authors Michael Ableman and Wendy Johnson will share their passion for cultivating the plants that nourish us, as well as the healing and renewing energy of gardening itself. This is your chance to commune with the earth and learn from two pioneers in organic gardening!
