Quinn is an extraordinary man of great insight, intellect and inspiration. His life itself IS his work, the embodiment and manifestation of his values- freedom, authenticity, sustainability, integrity, responsibility and family, to name a few. He is an artist of LIVING. He lives true to his heart, his values and his morals, with great consideration, consciousness and conviction.

Quinn

The Garden of Eden EcoVillage and all its brands and programs have been birthed from his vision, passion and insight. It is through his guiding sight and clear perception that this community and its inhabitants have grown and evolved. Through his example and leadership, a high standard of living in honor, integrity, and responsibility are the blessings and the masters of the inhabitants of this small community.

With unwavering dedication to his values, Quinn is passionately and purposefully living out his own dream of living life FREELY and FULLY with the suppressed and conditioned masses, and he willingly shares it all with anyone who is ready.

Although Quinn is the spiritual father of the Garden of Eden and its inhabitants, he is most invested in and close with his three children, QiQi, Noki, and Qinoku. He was the one to deliver and receive them at their births, and daily he attends to their development and wellbeing.

Quinn's History

As a youth, Quinn was a sickly boy, a slave to his fears, impulses, weakness and conditioning, who found nothing in this world to admire or strive for, only disappointment and despair. There was no livelihood, no relationship, no occupation at all that appeared to have any real truth, depth or value among all that he had seen. He wished that he would either find or make something better than everything he had witnesses so far, or to live no more.

At seventeen he found a glimpse of hope and poured all his energy into that ray of light, channelling all of his energy into spirituality. Although he was at the time living in Hollywood and working as a model, he spent all his free time in meditation, contemplation and study of his spirituality. He was gifted with the fulfillment of his wish, and experienced a full spiritual awakening, a moment of total oneness with all, pure beingness, pure love, pure bliss. He then spent the next 5 years primarily in meditation and self reflection, replacing his old paradigm conditioning of fear based living, and integrating this new level of spiritual awareness into every nook and cranny of his being.

In 2008, Quinn began speaking and consulting on a wide range of topics, but most especially sustainability, health, parenting, relationships and business. Since then he has been a presenter at the Rethinking Everything Conference of Dallas TX, the Australian Unschooling Conference, The I AM Festival of Tulsa OK, The Art Outside Festival of TX, Burning Man of NV, SteemFest in Portugal, Crypto-Con in San Diego, and more. He has hosted many dozens of workshops and lectures at the Garden of Eden from 2010 until the present, and continues to offer classes and consulting.

In 2009 he and Shellie began fertilizing the soil that would become the Garden of Eden. The two plus years that they spent in intimate communion were so fulfilling that Shellie was inspired to gift to Quinn the full control and rights to the land known as the Garden of Eden so that he could continue to fulfill his dream of creating an ecovillage.
