Natural Awakenings North Central New Jersey

Discover “Where the Wild Things Are” at Antler Ridge

On Saturday, September 17, from 1 to 5 p.m., explore nature and connect with Mother Earth by attending “Where the Wild Things Are,” at Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary, a 120-acre preserved farm at 52 County Road 661, Newton, in rural Warren County. Antler Ridge is licensed by the State of New Jersey to care for orphaned and injured mammals and is dedicated to rehabilitating and returning them to the wild.

The event features guest speakers, wildlife artists and photographers, and delicious organic food. Admission and lectures are free, and participants are welcomed to hike the sanctuary’s nature trails. Featured speakers include Sam Tso, a traditional Navajo medicine man from Arizona; Animal Communicator Barbara Goodfriend; and Karen Dashfield, DVM, from Vet on Call.

A special traditional Native American fire circle will be offered at 5 p.m. facilitated by Sam Tso; because seating is limited, it is open to adults only, and reservations must be made in advance. The cost for this event is $45.

For more information, email [email protected] or visit Antler-ridge.com. Vendors interested in participating should contact Renae Jensen at 908-797-5225 or email [email protected].

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
