The path of spiritual awareness can be an adventure; learning to see things in a different light - to change one's awareness from viewing adversity as obstacle, into an opportunity for growth.
Ron Boden is a man who focuses on bringing the 'people back home'. His focused intent on the importance of the people; spurred with humility and vision, is to create a place where all people; from this world and across the boundaries of Spirit, can re-unite as family, and have the opportunity to remember their roots, while exploring their divine connectedness.
In December of 1994, Ron was riding his horse on the prairie, when his horse spooked causing him to hit the ground, breaking his ribs in the process. As he looked up, holding the reins of the horse, he noticed it was no longer the same horse. This horse had transformed into a light grey horse. As he looked down, he noticed there was blood on his chest. Ron knew he was no longer in this world, but in a another place and time. This was all very strange and unfamiliar to him. For two years, Ron struggled with the meaning of this vision, not telling anyone what happened on that day, because his friends might think he was crazy. Finally he shared the vision with a friend, and they suggested that he go and have a past life regression - he did, and his eyes started opening to other possibilities.
During his regression, he was killed at the Battle of the Bighorn. Still not sure about this past life stuff, he decided to check it out for himself. He road his Harley to the Bighorn and looked at all of the names on the monument. None of them seemed even a little familiar. Still confused, and wanting answers Ron moved on. He noticed that the spirit horse was still everywhere; in his dreams, and in the shadows behind him when he turned around quickly. Ron was still on a quest to discover what the spirit horse meant or wanted.
So it was back to the readers; diving deeper into his past lives, searching for answers. Ron discovered in one of these readings that he, had in fact, been an Indian at the Battle of the Bighorn, not one of the soldiers. The horse that was in his dreams and visions in this lifetime, had followed him throughout many lifetimes; to protect him, to give him strength and to help him remember who he was, and what he needed to accomplish in this lifetime.
As time went on, Ron met Lloyd Elm, who became one of his close friends and brothers. Lloyd encouraged Ron to get involved in Sundance which connected him even stronger to the spirit world. The first time Ron stepped into the Sundance circle, Ron knew he had been there many times before. He learned about the true selflessness and the power of the Creator. The Sundancers life is always to help the people.
Many events have happened since Ron's first past life regression experience. He began opening himself to new ideas, and new directions. He went to some Drumming Circles, in which he found a great passion. Ron recounts that the first time he heard the drums, and the songs, he had a recollection. His Spirit recognized the songs. Although the words were not in English, Ron's spirit somehow understood their meaning. He was deeply moved by this experience, and started hosting his own drumming circle (The Sundance Drumming Circle) in 2001.
Penny Rose Ranch has a Spirit of her own. She is evolving into a spiritual oasis for all people to find peace, understanding and acceptance. The focus of the ranch is to provide a place for the people to re-unite. The 'ranch' hosts various classes and workshops each month. The Sundance Drumming Circle meets at the ranch at least once a month. Additionally, the new Chapel of the Prairie also meets at the Ranch once a month.
Ron would like to welcome each of you to stop by and refresh your spirit. He hopes each of you will re-discover that all things have a spirit, and that all things are connected. He hopes that you follow your own personal spiritual path and if your path leads you to the ranch you will be welcomed by new friends, with open hearts.
All he asks is that you honor yourself - pray to a God of your understanding and step on the grounds with an open mind and and the willingness to look at things in a different light.
