In the excitement
over the
unfolding of his
scientific and
technical powers,
modern man has
built a system of
production that
ravishes nature
and a type of
society that
mutilates man.

E. F. Schumacher
Small Is Beautiful


A defense of
conscious wealth,
of creative and
unselfish
capital,will be
needed,  and
Voluntary
Poverty alone
can settle the
conflict without
upset to the basic
rights of freedom.

VandenBroech,
Less Is More
Both my husband, John Hanna, and I, Rowan Emrys, come from
nutritionally-oriented, holistically-minded backgrounds, so ever since we got
together in 1964, it has been natural for us to continue that life-style. After 23
years in the dental field, in 1987 I earned my certification as both a massage
therapist and a NeuroMuscular Therapist to add to my proficiency in CranioSacral
Therapy following my achievement of becoming a Reiki Master.  

John became enamored of horses as a youngster when an older half-brother
introduced him to trick riding while I went the "normal" little girl route of falling in
love with The Black Stallion so thoroughly that I was actually able to take years of
riding lessons. So again, our interests coincided. When we met, John had an own
daughter of Nowata Star and we grew from there with some of the finest AQHA
foundation stock available at the time. We retired from active breeding in 2001 to
enable us to turn our attention to more of the philosophical aspects of life.

All the while we were breeding horses, we were also raising children, German
Shepherd Dogs, numerous cats and an untold number of guinea pigs, mice,
gerbils, turtles and even one snake along the way. Now we are down to 3 horses,
1 dog, 2 cats, 5 grandchildren ranging in age from 5 to 29, and one almost
great-grandchild.

It is our fondest hope that perhaps some of our offerings on this website, a
compendium of a lifetime of both experience and study, may open new doors of
perception for some of our visitors.

About us ...

    PERSONAL NOTE

    Our new lives in Pagosa Springs have changed radically due to our
    current health challenges.

    Last spring I came up with a burst appendix for which I did not
    seek treatment until almost too late. But, after literally months of
    hospital and rehab center, lesson learned, I am recovering slowly
    but surely.

    To top it off, while I was still in the hospital, John was diagnosed
    with terminal bone marrow cancer. After having fought his way
    back from stage 4 prostate cancer a few years ago, it was
    devastating news. Good news is that he is responding incredibly
    well with all of our natural approaches plus his chemo.

    We made the decision to move back to Ft Collins to be close to
    family and friends and will be there by the end of August.

    Thank you all for your love, prayers and support.
