Inner Journeys with Horses

On October 15, 2015, Chester Rotarians and guests braved the first serious frost of the season and gathered at the Fullerton Inn for a declicious breakfast of scrampled eggs and bacon, engaging conversation with fellow members, and to listen to Cindy Aldrich tell us about her business, “Inner Journeys with Horses.” At Inner Journeys, Cindy partners with her horses to help clients heal body, mind and soul. Horses have an amazing gift of healing and teaching about their way of life. Given a variety of pictures of horses with messages printed on the back, Cindy asked the Rotarians to react  and share their thoughts with the group. In another interactive, four Rotarians did a role play with one member acting as the human and the other as a horse.  Brian played his role superbly and it took a “well grounded” John Holme to get our past president to move along. Cindy works with individual clients and with groups. More information is available at her website http://www.innerjourneyswithhorses.com/ .

Before Cindy’s presentation there were a number of announcements. President Dakin asked members to sign the “Funding Petition,”and complete his or her order for various pieces of apparel available from Vermont T’s. Katherine and John were presented with this year’s Rotary theme pins. Upcoming events were also announced, including a music recital on October 19 at the Chester Baptist Church, the Fall Harvest Dinner on October 24 and a Spaghetti Supper Fundraiser on November 19. Contact Katherine for more details about the Fall Harvest Dinner and Spaghetti Supper Fundraiser and don’t forget her invitation to attend coffee hour every Friday at the Chester Andover Elementary School. The meeting was adjourned with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and a reminder from Prez Dakin to leave the Rotary badges in the box!
