Magical Retreats & Soulful Connections

In this episode of the Soul Touched by Dogs Podcast, host Anke Herrmann is joined by Ellen from Gold Hill, North Carolina.

Ellen recounts her connection with her dog, Murphy, and their involvement in the book project ‘Pawthers’.

They discuss the concept of dogs as wise souls and how they met through the project. Ellen talks about her potential retreat offerings for stressed dogs and their owners to find peace together in nature.

Bio: In May, 2006, I purchased Sacred Grove Retreat Center and moved there with my partner, Tim Beebe. We worked tirelessly to improve and beautify this magical land.

I am a gracious hostess, and my superpower lies in effortlessly creating rapport with every visitor. I possess a natural talent for making anyone who sets foot on the land feel warmly welcomed. Affectionately referred to as the “Goddess of the Grove”, I take great pleasure in embracing this title.
