FREEDOM HEALING RANCH

NEBRASKA

OR takes place at the Freedom Healing Ranch located in Craig, Nebraska.

Once a hunting lodge, the Carson family is lovingly transforming the Ranch into a healing sanctuary. Visitors travel far and wide to come here for deep inner work.

On nearly 2000 acres, we hold a vision to regenerate the land through permaculture principles, while building out creative living spaces and growing a community that can accelerate waves of positive impact.

Ogalla Aquifer

The Healing Ranch sits atop the Ogallala aquifer, the largest aquifer by volume, in the world. It yields about 30% of the ground water used for irrigation in the entire United States and supplies drinking water to 82% of the millions of people who live within the boundaries of the High Plains. Its water supports $35 billion in crop production each year. Studies estimate the aquifer to be 70% depleted within the next 50 years. The biggest threats are global warming, over-extraction and pollution. Once depleted, the aquifer will take over 6,000 years to replenish naturally through rainfall.

THE FARM

The Healing Ranch manages 15,000 acres of corn and soy farm land which they seek to convert into organic farming while catalyzing a movement across farmers in the region. Reducing chemical dependency, improving irrigation efficiency, water conservation, and seeking alternative water sources can be used to help replenish aquifers.

The Freedom Healing Community is rooted in four main values that uphold three pillars of work - providing accessible healthy food, clean water and holistic mental health care for all. These values provide a foundation for our work for generations to come.

OUR VALUES

Building a loving relationship with self and all living things. Practicing compassion and non judgement towards others. Living in an abundant mindset and learning to lift others up around us.
Living an intentional life, finding balance in our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual self. Showing up for yourself and others. Exploring self discovery and personal growth. Integrating and becoming what we are learning.
We love and support all races, religions and lifestyles. As long as no one’s beliefs are imposing or harmful, there is space for it all to exist. We acknowledge there is no one path on the journey of life, and that, all roads lead to the same destination.
When we can combine the previous three values together, one can achieve living in a flow state. This involves finding balance, coherence and harmony with yourself, others and the world around you. When each of us show up in a conscious, heart-centered way and we do our own individual work, the collective grows.

OR aims to become an annual gathering at the Freedom Healing Ranch where each year we invest in the land and continue to grow a globally active community dedicated to important social and environmental initiatives.
