The Russian River Valley - a mixture of farms, vineyards and villages. Restful, warm and inviting, this special place in the world beckons those who appreciate fine wine to its quiet country roads, boutique shopping and of course, its world-class wineries. Blessed with unbeatable scenery and a lifestyle built around wine, food, and life out of doors, our valley is only 55 miles north of San Francisco. It is an enchanted place apart, where farmers and artists compare notes in the coffee shops while winemakers and chefs discuss the weather and the guy in the corner works on his novel.

Cavalia is an enchanting, thought-provoking production reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil, but with horses as the centerpiece. Cavalia tells a story about our irrefutable connection to each other, and the joy of intimacy proffered by life in every moment. Cavalia is a dream, a whimsy, a feast for the senses with music and dancing, acrobats and beautiful horses. It is igniting a spark in audiences across the Northern Continent in consistently sold-out and extended shows. More than a circus, more than a show, Cavalia, is a reminder of how huge life is as it rears all around us and how magnificent it is at liberty.

For 30 years, I have had the privilege of guiding others on such journeys through some of the Earth’s great tapestries of landscape and light. A journey into nature, dedicated to personal inquiry is a unique and rare undertaking in the rush of modern living. Its origins date back to traditional wisdom, which encouraged and enabled others to set aside time for deep introspection, clarification, and spiritual renewal in a natural setting. It is a way of adventure, solitude, beauty, and communion; a path that can reveal to us what we most value.
