Our Story

 

Harmony Fields Soul Sanctuary didn't begin with a business plan.

 

It began with a lifelong belief that every animal deserves safety, every life deserves compassion, and every person deserves somewhere they can simply be, just as they are.

 

That belief has shaped everything we do.

 

Where it all began

 

In 2002, mother and daughter Mione and Cath Morrison founded Glendrick Roost Animal Welfare Centre, a registered charity providing a lifelong home for more than one hundred abandoned, abused and special-needs animals.

 

For many years, they witnessed something remarkable.

 

As rescued animals slowly learned to trust again, the people who spent time with them often experienced healing of their own.

 

Cath had personally experienced the comfort, peace and healing that animals bring during life's most difficult moments. From those experiences, a dream began to grow—not only to offer rescued animals a forever home, but to create a sanctuary where people could also find tranquillity, connection and hope.

 

The beginning of Harmony Fields

 

In 2017, Cath and her partner, Ronnie, brought that dream to life by creating the original Harmony Fields on a beautiful hillside near Balfron.

 

With no external funding, they built the sanctuary through years of determination, hard work and an unwavering belief in what it could become.

 

Every fence, shelter, pathway and quiet corner was created with love and purpose.

 

Their vision was simple:

 

To share with others the same sense of peace, healing and connection that animals and nature had given them throughout their lives.

 

A new beginning

 

In 2022, everything changed.

 

Following the unexpected loss of the rented land that Harmony Fields called home, the future of the sanctuary became uncertain.

 

It was an incredibly difficult time.

 

Then came an opportunity that changed everything.

 

Cath and Ronnie were able to purchase five beautiful acres of land, complete with a gentle stream, close to their home village of Buchlyvie.

 

For the first time, Harmony Fields had found its forever home.

 

 Building a dream, once again

 

Relocating the sanctuary meant beginning again from scratch.

 

For a long time, welcoming visitors had to take a back seat while every ounce of energy went into creating safe homes for the animals and rebuilding the facilities needed to share the sanctuary once more.

 

It has been a long, emtional journey, filled with challenges, patience and perseverance.

 

But little by little, the vision has continued to grow.

 

 Looking ahead

 

Today, Harmony Fields Soul Sanctuary continues to evolve into the place Cath first imagined many years ago.

 

A peaceful sanctuary where rescued horses and animals live with dignity, kindness and lifelong care.

 

A place where people can slow down, reconnect with nature and discover the quiet joy of simply being.

 

Whether you come to spend time with the animals, join a wellbeing experience, become part of The Harmony Circle, or simply walk through our gates for the first time, you become part of the story we're still writing.

 

Everything we've built...

 

Every fence.

 

Every shelter.

 

Every tree we've planted.

 

Every animal we've welcomed.

 

Every quiet corner we've created...

 

Has been guided by one simple hope.

 

That Harmony Fields will always be a place where rescued animals can live their lives surrounded by love and security...

 

And where people can step away from the noise of life and find a place they can breathe.

 

Because we believe healing begins with safety.

 

Grows through connection.

 

And flourishes when we know we belong.
