Hope • Healing • Growth
The Char Hope Learning to Live Ranch is a haven for nine women in recovery. We provide a family like environment focused on fostering
relationships and encouraging individual
growth and healing.

Staff, Volunteers and Residents sit down together to enjoy a healthy breakfast featuring our own farm fresh eggs and other goodies.

At morning meeting, the community gathers to learn about the day’s goals, activities, and share the 5-day weather, and “farm sightings”. We end each meeting with an inspirational quote and serenity prayer. 

 

9:00-9:30 am Morning Chores

Whether it’s collecting eggs, fieldwork, barn work, working the mobile framer's market, or working on a team, it inspires a sense of dignity, self-worth, and pride in doing for oneself and others—important prerequisites for healing. The social interaction, exercise, and skills building of the work program play an important role in a resident moving toward personal independence.

Just like our residents are learning to care for themselves, they are also learning to care for other things that depend on them.

 

Outside Meetings and Recreation & Relaxation
There is always something going on in the evenings, whether it’s attending a 12 step meeting, a trip to the park for a community hike or swim, or to a local fair, relaxing in the living room watching a movie, reading a book, or playing games, or sitting around a campfire outside. 

  

Our Residents know how to work hard and have fun too!
