Working
Together as We Focus on a Common Goal:
A Unique Healing Facility and Retreat Center for
People and Animals
Healing the Animals, Healing Ourselves
Leslie Morán
Envision a beautiful area tastefully landscaped using xeriscape,
permaculture, and organic gardening and landscaping techniques. A
mediation path leads to a white gazebo on a nearby hilltop commanding
inspirational views, which create a natural response
of drawing in a deep cleansing breath. From this vantage point you
have the feeling of looking down
upon a small community whose central goal is to be a living example
of the ease of natural health care and
holistic living for families and the animal companions they love.
People are drawn to this place from everywhere, each one easily falling
in step with a harmonious piece of the larger picture. Some come to
attend classes and workshops at the educational complex, others come
seeking knowledge about how to use natural healthcare and healing
methods for themselves and their animal companions. And then there
are those who make an
annual retreat to this place to become reacquainted and realigned
with the true strength of their inner
source as only a mind-body-spiritual experience can provide.
Ahh, and then there’s the food. Organic, natural, and good for
you too! Is it really supposed to taste this
good? Who could have ever believed that natural living would fill
both the stomach and the soul.
Many are impressed by the organized use of organic practices, recycled
materials, and the creative use of
natural problem solving methods in harmony with nature. Others are
here to witness the functional and
practical renewable energy structures. A tour of these facilities
supply answers to all the questions
about this retreat center being self-sufficient and off the grid,
generating all the power it needs.
The educational complex offers a variety of classes from natural health
care, natural animal care
choices, to organic gardening, and more. The retreat center serves
as a place of healing and inner growth
while offering classes and workshops designed to teach all who attend
useful, practical, information that
they can take home and use in their daily lives.
In the southwest corner lies a building housing the Avian Holistic
Resource Center (AHRC: The ARC). This organization’s primary
goal is to continue pioneering natural and holistic health care for
parrots and other bird species while collecting valuable data.
The ARC also serves as an information resource center, educating others
in options they have regarding holistic and natural care for birds.
The ARC helps others understand that avian health care is much more
complicated than health care of dogs, cats, or horses. There are many
diseases, if diagnosed in a bird, where the veterinarian will immediately
recommend euthanasia. This is because many avian diseases are highly
contagious, easily transmitted, and traditional veterinary care cannot
help heal the situation. The ARC will serve as a ray of light offering
treatment options to the untreatable. Balanced nutrition,
nutritional supplements, homeopathy, behavior training, and other
natural healing methods truly can work wonders - both in avian disease
prevention and cure.
Because this healing center teaches natural health care options and
provides holistic treatment for people and animals, we will have appropriate
licensed healthcare professionals on staff.
Our facility will also be able to align with and support other organizations
who embody or help us fulfill with our mission statement:
We are all connected in the web of life.
Through our compassion and the strength of our commitment, we create
effective partnerships with our clients. These relationships provide
the foundation for healing the animals.
Our result-producing work teaches and includes our clients in revolutionary
mind-body-spirit approaches
for restoring animal wellness. When embracing these natural, holistic,
and environmentally sound choices
everyone involved receives benefits. This work also benefits the quality
of life for all beings on this planet.
Taking another deep breath you realize you’re still standing
under the white gazebo on the hilltop. Your
hands notice the silkiness of the railing they rest upon. You recognize
the scent of wild sagebrush on the
wind as a lone Red-tailed hawk glides into your awareness. Effortlessly,
he catches a thermal column
and spirals gracefully upward. Following him with your gaze, he is
now nearly too small to recognize.
Just as you’re about to look elsewhere something catches your
eye. Is the hawk now spiraling downward? Caught in curiosity, you’re
still not sure what your watching - and then you realize - spirit
is sending you a message. You smile and, as if by instinct, inhale
a deep soulful breath. Your eyes are trained to the heavens as if
an angel is poised just above you, offering you a gift. In reply you
reach your hand upward to receive what spirit has sent.
You effortlessly take hold of a single hawk feather that had drifted
down from your sky-bound friend. Hawks carry the medicine of being
a messenger between heaven and earth. And the message is clear. Yes!
We will join together in creating this very special healing facility
that really can and will make a difference. Yes, we will.
This introduction is only a glimpse of the healing facility I dream
of creating.
