Owning a Piece of the Rock: The Campaign to Buy “Hidden Valley Health Ranch” for all of us

Date:   4/1/2005 7:49:40 AM ( 19 y ago)

I have been very inspired this morning...
now I am having a reality check...
and slowing down.

This is the proposal for buying
Dr. Jensen's former "Hidden Valley Health
Ranch."

There are lots of IF's right now.
But writing this was the next step.
I also have numbers of the photos
on line awaiting cutlines (commentaries).

A very positive financial response is coming
through. I sense this has to do with
my decluttering, and taking time to organize.

As Dr. Jensen said, to repeat a story,
There were two surgeons doing a very
intricate heart operation. One takes a number
of breathes and turns to the other and says,
"We must take time. We haven't a moment to lose!"

That is how I feel about cleaning up now.
If I want to experience new levels of fulfillment,
I am asked to create more open space for it to enter.
That appears to be what is happening.

I am tired, but this is what I birthed.

Amen. Amen. Thanks for witnessing,
CureZone family.
Feedback welcome.

Owning a Piece of the Rock:
The Campaign to Free “Hidden Valley Health Ranch”
for all of us

By Leslie Goldman
Your Enchanted Gardener

There is a rock here,
an Enchanted Rock.
I come close. I see your name on it.
The question is, as far as I can see,
not who wants to own this land,
but who does this land want to be owned by.
The land wants you, all of you.

A Land in Search of its New Care Takers:

“Hidden Valley Health Ranch” is a 10-acre
parcel of pristine land in the back country
of Escondido, California in the area of Lake Wohlford.
It is the former home of world renowned
Natural healer, Dr. Bernard Jensen (1908-2001).
In a mountainous area, highly regarded for qualities
that Jensen said could promote long life,
It is now for sale for $1.5 Million.

For particulars see:
Please see Http://www.wootton.com.

Seed Dream:

I sense the name of this place shall simply
be known as "Jensen's Ranch"
in honor of a great Soul, Dr. Bernard Jensen, who loved all Souls
and wanted the best for humanity.

I see this property continuing as a Retreat Center,
a Retreat Center that will encompass the contributions
to this land by Ellen Nadeau and Tom Wootton
who established the Hidden Valley Artist Retreat in 2001.
I see as well the reactivation of the Hidden Valley Health Ranch,
established in 1948, a place where those who are called, may come for respite
and health renewal. The Retreat Center will offer
space for local and nationally-publicized intimate workshops.
It will be a place where all faiths come together in peace
and advance understanding between them in this
blessed natural setting.

A Place for Enchanted Gardening

I see further unfoldment here
of the gifts of Dr. Bernard Jensen who gave
to this Earth fertility, and gave to the dream that
each of us are natural people, and that
through gardening we can connect with all things.

I see a community of land caretakers, of
Enchanted Gardeners of the Soul and Soil
who recognize that the Earth and the Soul are Soil mates.

Before Nadeau, Wootton, and Jensen,
I cannot say who believed
they were owned by this place.
I cannot say who had this place in their bones.
I see signs in the rocks
that indicate Native Women called this their place
and found peace and solace.

A Center that Honors the Sacred Feminine

It shall continue to regard
the sacred feminine, and provide a place where
women find witness in nature to the sacredness
that is woman.

Annual Children’s Camp

I see an annual children’s Camp Out
a place where the New Child--
the Sacred Child--can come and play
and renew as well the vision of
the great Enchanted Gardener Luther Burbank who said,

"Every Child should have mud pies, grasshoppers,
water-bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud-turtles,
elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb, brooks to wade in, water-lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets; and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of his education." --Luther Burbank,
from The Training of the Human Plant
1907

Annual Gathering: A Journey
through A Thousand Meditations

I see the vision of the Essene Renaissance
Pioneer Edmond Bordeaux Szekely unfolding here:
One of Szekely’s unfulfilled projects was called
Mille Meditations, Journey through A Thousand Meditations.
I see an annual gathering here, that expresses as he
saw, “ A synthesis of nature and eight thousand years of wisdom.”

Annual Musicians Peace Camp

I see Peacemakers--
peacemakers who are musicians--
who fulfill the words of the Nobel Peace Prize
winner Romain Rolland.
It was Rolland who spoke of forming the New Ground
in the The Forerunners, 1917:

"Let us seek truth everywhere; let us cull it where ever
we can find its blossom or its seed. Having found the seed,
let us scatter it to the winds of heaven. Where ever it may come,
where ever it may blow, it will germinate.
There is no lack in this wide universe of Souls that will form the new ground."

A Community that Honors Mother Earth

Let this be the basis of community that forms here,
a community that honors the Mother Earth:

"I am your Mother Earth.
You are my pride and joy.

I am the sparkle that was in your father's eye
when your mother first looked into his eye
and they made you from my substance.

I had something in mind
when I inspired your mother
and father to touch each other.
I am your mother earth.
I made you to speak for me.
I made you to speak for me now.
I made you to know this earth
as your home.”

(* originally expressed in The Rebirth of Mother Earth
by Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener
1989)

The Sweetness of Life Fully Lived

The Crimson Camellia I loved so much as Valentine's day are no longer. They have left shadows of beauty on the ground. Their pink cousins, so mandala-like perfect, greet me this sunny morning as I return to the garden. The last of their bloom have waited in my absence, as if they too are fulfilled when I come to tell them how beautiful they are. Perhaps it is energy that passes between us. Surely there is communication. Today, the yellow and rose-colored newborn water lilies emerge in the pond, and unspeakable orange brilliance that shows through unnamed flowers that close each day at dusk. There is much coming and going here. I see it in the lizard scurrying to keep a luncheon date with the fly at the edge of his rock; and the bees, they have work to do every way they turn. And then I ask myself, have I been present enough? Have I allowed the force that animates and colors this paradise to animate me? Am I seeing completely in this moment? The garden answers "yes!" this day through a ripe fruit gift that pops into my hand from its tree. In its essence, it reveals sweetness of life fully lived.

--Leslie Goldman, written at Dr. Jensen's Hidden
Valley Health Ranch, April 11, 1981

"A magic day he passed my way and while we spoke
of many things Fools and Kings, this he said to me,
'The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be
loved in return.' " -- "Nature Boy," written by eden

in 1947, the year of my birth.
