David Rubinson is an intelligent, wise and savvy person who dives into whatever he is working on 100%. Before moving to Eze, France last July, he had never gardened before growing up in New York City. Though he's been long retired from the music industry proper, most Bay Area engineers who came of age in the '70s credit David Rubinson with teaching them how records are made. Herbie Hancock, the Pointer Sisters, Santana, Janis, Moby Grape, Jefferson Airplane, Taj Mahal — his legacy will never end. Did we mention that he founded the Automatt and was the music producer for Apocalypse Now?

He is a beautiful example of redesigning life from the inside out. Thank you David…for your commitment and desire to create a peaceful and loving planet.

Liz and the Herd

This is real footage of participants (I was one of the lucky ones) from all over the world who came together at the Gateway 2 Ranch in British Columbia, Canada to receive the E.A.R.T.H. (Equine Assisted Re-connective Therapy and Healing) program. The ranch is the home to author Liz Mitten Ryan, her husband, and their sixteen horses, dogs, cats and Tesoro, the steer. In this pristine setting, all things properly align for the highest earthly vision human beings can possibly experience.

My own personal journey at Gateway 2 was nothing short of miraculous. I confronted and faced fears from my childhood about how powerless I felt in the presence of these enormous animals. Within a week, I went from shaky and scared in the paddock on Monday, to falling off Luxy (the largest horse in the herd) on Tuesday, and by Friday I experienced a godlike feeling as I walked Epona (a beautiful mare in the herd) to the playground and through the obstacle course.

Liz Mitten Ryan

In addition to that miracle, there were energies on the land, amongst the rock formations, that actually helped heal my tailbone from the fall. I was named “most improved player” by my supportive tribe of fellow participants. When you open yourself to be vulnerable, get very quiet inside, and ALLOW…you are available to be healed by the Oneness of the universe. I am here to tell about it, but it is not only my story…please listen in to the following interviews with other participants and practitioners from Gateway 2 Ranch.
