The Importance of Play
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2016/08 - August
When was the last time you really played?
We get bogged down in the minutia of daily life and sometimes forget to step outside and breathe. Dr. Trish Ring has created a place of magic called Blue Star Ranch that can help with that. Dr. Ring, who holds a PhD in Counseling Psychology, has acted as a Life Coach for the last four years and says, “I’ve probably had more fun and effected more change in the last four years than I did in the first 20. I think that’s less a reflection on therapy and more a reflection on this truism: When it’s time, it’s time.”
She is a RingLeader Equine Coach at her new facility in Cashiers. Blue Star Ranch is a private horse ranch on a 140-acre expanse between Highlands and Cashiers that is open for private and group coaching sessions.
It’s experiential learning at its most powerful, but as Dr. Ring says, “It’s fun!”
A Ringleader Equine Coach adheres to the basic principle that whatever happens in the round ring is a mirror of what is happening somewhere else in your life. Your coach helps you discover the insight that is waiting for you. The beauty of learning in this kind of environment is that it really sinks in.
The schedule of events at Blue Star Ranch is a busy one, but in September Dr. Ring and her staff are hosting two retreats to take note of. For those who coach others, she is offering “Find Your Fire Retreat: Spark Your Heart, Ignite Your Coaching,” September 19-22 from 8:30 A.M. until 5:30 P.M. This event, “is more than an escape – It’s a transformative experience that will help you find the clarity and the spark to shift your coaching forward.”
The next group session will be held September 29 through October 1 from 8:30 A.M. until 5:30 P.M. and is entitled “Unleash Your Inner Super Power: A Three-Day Retreat on Creativity.” You’re invited to join them for a journey into your playful, creative and soulful self. Write, paint, and laugh your way into your creative energy.
Want to see the ranch? Of course they’ll be happy to give you a tour, just give them a call at (828) 743-3281. Want to sign up or learn more? Visit BlueStarRanch.com. And remember, as Dr. Ring likes to say, “Stop working so hard and see what happens next!”
