Katherine Davis-Gibbon is a yoga teacher, longtime practitioner of Vipassana meditation, and most importantly a mother of two. She is also the founder of Riverlet Press, a children’s book company for conscious parents raising mindful kids.

Katherine Davis-Gibbon's journey with the body-mind began 33 years ago, when she studied Dance and Asian Studies at Scripps College. A notable student, she was nominated by faculty to a fellowship at The Humanities Institute and twice honored with the Lucille Morrison Dance Award.

In 1994, Katherine embarked upon a rigorous, yearlong apprenticeship at Performing Arts Physical Therapy/The Pilates Studio, where she was certified by Joseph Pilates' protege-turned-heir, master teacher Romana Kryzanowska. In the Los Angeles area, she taught at Performing Arts Physical Therapy and Zoe: A Pilates Studio.

In 1996, Katherine relocated to The Bay Area, where she opened her own studio. While continuing to teach rehabilitative pilates, she pursued a career in dance: performing with Strong Current Dance Company and Rebecca Salzer Dance Theater; showcasing her own choreography throughout the Bay Area; teaching modern dance technique; and ultimately founding and producing the East Bay Dance Festival.

In 2004, Katherine took a step back from dance in order to delve more deeply into the study and teaching of yoga. She joined the faculty of Piedmont Yoga Studio in 2005, immediately after completing their 750-hour Advanced Studies Program, under the direction of Rodney Yee, Richard Rosen, Clare Finn, and Maritza. In 2009, she completed Spirit Rock Meditation Center's Mindfulness Yoga and Meditation Training, where she worked with Phillip Moffitt, Stephen Cope, Tias Little, Jill Satterfield, Sarah Powers, and Judith Lasater, among many others. Finally, in 2010, she completed a four-year program in Traditional Yoga Studies under the direct tutelage of the late Georg Feuerstein, PhD.

Katherine's practice took a different form after the birth of her first child in 2011. Though she stopped teaching yogasana in 2012, her dedicated practice of Vipassana meditation and pursuit of svadhyaya (self-study) intensified during the decade she devoted to the hands-on care of her two beautiful daughters. Though she studied conscientiously and sat many long meditation retreats prior to becoming a mother, Katherine found parenting to be her most intensive training of all--providing endless opportunities to practice mindfulness, compassion, wise speech, and equanimity in the fertile ground of intimate relationship and moment-to-moment life.

In 2021, the various threads of Katherine's life as a student, teacher, artist, yogini, meditator, and parent intertwined when she became an author, and the proud founder of Riverlet Press: a children's book publishing company dedicated to illuminating and exploring the child's inner life.

J.J. Carrell recently retired from the United States Border Patrol after a 24-year career as a Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge in San Diego Sector. Carrell brings a different view on immigration and what is now transpiring on this forgotten and unknown place called the border.

Carrell’s unique perspective is from years as a frontline Journeyman Agent to a Senior Leader in the United States Border Patrol. Carrell uses his experience to articulate who has created this disastrous situation on the border, how these policies are being enacted, and why these intentional policies are being implemented in his Amazon “Best Seller” books, INVADED: The Intentional Destruction of the American Immigration System and TREASON: The Biden Administration’s Strategic and Malicious Destruction of America’s Sovereignty.

Carrell has released two documentaries, WHAT IS TREASON? #TRAFFICKED, and WHAT IS TREASON? #INVADED. These documentaries expose the traitors that run our government, the evil of child sex trafficking, and the peril the United States of America now finds herself.

Dr. Benson has a strong Science background with a BSc. in Botany and a BSc. Agriculture. Graduating with a MD degree from the University of British Columbia in Canada in 1988, Dr Benson has gone to work as a GP in not only Canada but also New Zealand and finally Australia. He is the proud father of four grown children.

Having suffered from allergies, Dr. Benson was personally motivated to find the cause of this affliction. Fortunately, his strong science background and ecological training unravel the cause of allergies and also autoimmune diseases. His strength of character has contributed to his success despite the strong opposition he received from some quarters of the medical profession. What Dr. Benson has discovered is a paradigm shift in the way of looking at allergic and autoimmune diseases. His book further explains the cause of these afflictions and goes even further to give the reader helpful direction as to how they too can move away from treating only the symptoms to treating the causes with the hope of a cure.

As is common to people who are ahead of their time, Dr. Benson has experienced opposition. This book is the accumulation of his knowledge and it is because of Dr. Benson’s strong social conscience that is presented here.
