I Had Been Working Very Hard
by Janet Roper
With all the new events and activities coming into my life, I needed time to regroup, release the old and create new room and energies for the refreshed and regenerated direction in which my life was headed.
I talked to Lynn, at Wisdom Horse Coaching, and told her of my goals and plans for the retreat. She helped me create an atmosphere receptive for the new Janet to blossom forth.
Keep in mind a retreat is not a vacation. A retreat is a reserved time, away from the distracting 'real world' where you have time to discern where you are on your life path and what you are being called to do. With the intuitive work I do, a retreat is indispensable, giving me secluded time to do my inner work.
Each day of the retreat was spent with the horses, experiencing different healing modalities at the Healing Arts Wellcare Center, (which is affiliated with Hawk's Ridge Ranch), time alone, journaling, naps, reading good books and a massage or two thrown in for good measure. I stayed at the nearby Westgrove house.
Gyp, the horse with whom I worked the most, was a four year old learned professor ~ excellent at mirroring lessons to me that would benefit not only my personal and spiritual growth, but also the growth of my new emerging business. This was done in a non- judgmental, yet practical way.
Janet Roper is an animal communicator and professional violinist. (Who says you can't make your passions your livelihood?) You can find out more about her on her blog or her website.
Healing for Body, Mind, and Spirit
Pictured here is Westgrove house, where Janet stayed during her retreat. Just 7 miles from Hawk's Ridge Ranch where we work with the horses, the house has
• A full kitchen
• 2 decks
• A sauna
• 4 bedrooms
• Living room

It rents for $75 / night per person or $400 max per night if you have a bigger group. You can also rent the house for your day retreat for $100 / day. Book your retreat now. You'll be soooo glad you did!
Come for a day or a week. Bring what's on your mind or leave it behind.

Going Sane
I visited the doctor this week for my annual physical. The check-in nurse saw my journal. "What are you writing?" she asked. "I'm writing about going sane," I said. It took her a moment. "Oh. As opposed to going insane. I get it." And she proceeded to tell me how so many more teenagers are coming in with depression. "I wonder if it's all the bad news about the war and the economy," she mused. "Maybe," I answered.
But I really think it is a direct result of the constant stimulation that kids -- and the rest of us -- are expected to handle. Always available by phone, text or email: immediate response required. Days filled with non-stop activity. Pressure from ourselves and others to perform and produce. But does all of this "stuff" feed the soul? I don't think so.
Slowly our well goes dry, and as Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way, says, if you don't fill your well with what matters to you, pretty soon you'll be wringing out the moss at the bottom. You have nothing left to give. You get depressed, anxious, sick or numb. It's insane.
Cameron says sometimes, when you start to go sane again, when you fill your well with art, reading, a retreat, or even decline an invitation, it may seem like you are going insane. People may question why you are no longer available, who you think you are, what happened to you. You will need to practice this going sane regularly so that you stay sane and keep water flowing in your well.
