Balance Is Key Ranch Retreat
We're so excited to announce our up-coming project! A 37-acre Homestead Retreat Ranch in Northern Arizona for qualifying families that have had a battle with a mental health disorder and need to recover. With low-cost temporary and permanent housing programs. The qualifying families will have access to fresh fruits and vegetables fresh off the farm. You can work in the garden, feed the animals, go on a nature hike, stargaze, fishing or just relax in the healing tranquility while finding your balance. Throughout the summer, colorful mountain wildflowers spread across the land's meadows. This is an exceptionally quiet and peaceful land of sweeping mountain vistas and broad grassy valleys devoid of urban noise and teeming with free roaming elk, antelope and deer. At a cool and clear 6,200-foot elevation, the comfortable temperatures allow the ranch to be enjoyed year-round. Mental Health has a direct impact on our communities, and it is important to cultivate practices that support emotional well-being.
Mental Health Benefits Of Homesteading
Homesteading helps to reduce the focus on stress and anxiety. The fresh mountain air brings a feeling of relaxation that helps calm your mind.
Research has proven that a healthy diet, from reduced processed foods and trans-fat, improves the state of mental health. At Balance is key, we will provide the opportunity to eat healthy food grown fresh from the farm. This can give a feeling of fulfillment and improve mental health overall. Engaging with the animals brings excitement, which increases the release of chemicals such as oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins in the body! The Homesteading lifestyle practices have been linked to sound mental health. The mental health benefits of homesteading cannot be overemphasized!
