One of the aspects I truly cherish about my role at Soberman’s Estate is the opportunity to wear many different hats. Whether it’s being an equine and meditation coach, a group facilitator, a social media/blog creator, an assistant to anyone in need, or even stepping in as a handyman, I find joy in each responsibility. However, one of my favorite roles by far is that of the “Alumni Coordinator.”

Forgiveness is often seen as a noble gesture, a sign of strength and compassion. Yet, when it comes to forgiving ourselves or others, we frequently find it to be one of the most challenging tasks.

While speaking with my wife via cellphone, I shared with her, “It’s the strangest thing—as I was speaking with you a moment ago, I was petting our horse, Sugar Pine, and he began stomping his front leg. I looked and Sugar had plenty of food and clean water. He looked healthy but continued to stomp his front left leg as if trying to tell me something. Now I’m petting our other horse, Charlie, and Charlie is also stomping his front left leg, even though he has plenty of food and water.”

As World Labyrinth Day approaches, all of us at Soberman's Estate are reminded of the powerful role our labyrinth plays in the journey of recovery. It’s a day that beckons us to reflect on the intricate paths, both literal and metaphorical, that shape our journeys.
