Every Thursday and Friday from 4-7pm we have a selection of wines that are hand picked and then get slashed by 30% to help make your visit that much more enjoyable. Of course we are social distancing but with quite a few people doing the same thing, it helps create an energy that is just what we need during these trying times.
Voices of the Santa monica's
Living in such a historically rich environment has lent itself to meeting some of the most dynamic people one could imagine. I must say that my relationship with Brian Rooney, author of the Three Magical Miles, has sparked much of my interest as his chronicling of our local history has gone so deep. But, spending those many nights with Barbara and Tom Runyon at the Old Place listening to their fantastic and whimsical storytelling of life here in the Santa Monica Mountains has left me with a yearning for more.
We are proud to announce the beginning of a series called “Voices of the Santa Monica’s”. In this series we will be presenting unique personalities and characters that have made these mountains their home. We invite them into the winery to share with our neighbors and friends what it is that makes this place so special and to keep them alive through the ancient human medium, Storytelling!

Please join us on Friday July 12th at 7pm as we welcome Ruth Gerson to the stage. Living in these mountains since 1975, she has witnessed a lot. She has been one of the main advocates for equestrian access to these mountains. If you own a horse and ride these mountains, then you owe a bit of gratitude to Ruth and here work. Ruth married Grant Gerson, Founder of Calamigos Ranch with his first wife Helen. For 25 years they were married and they were the main advocates till Grant's passing in 2012, at the age of 92! Knowing the history and experiences that Ruth has lived through here in the mountains, I have invited Ruth to simply organize a few chapters of her life and join us at Cornell to share them with our neighbors.
This is a free event, but you will need to make a reservation to attend as seating is limited.

Woolsey Fire 2018
Happy New Year from all of us here at Cornell Winery & Tasting Room!
This has been one of the most difficult newsletters to write as my neighborhood and those of so many here in the Santa Monica’s has been scared and or destroyed due to the Woolsey Fire that erupted on November 8th, 2018. The fire was the second act as the Borderline Bar shooting took place just about 24 hours before the Mandatory Evacuation here in Cornell, CA. It is quite strange to witness such tragedies from afar, but we are now brothers and sisters in arms with the rest of the communities across our country who have dealt with mass shootings and natural/un-natural disasters. We are now part of the statistics.
Many of you may be aware of the book, The Three Magical Miles by Brian Rooney. This book has served as a blueprint for the stories we tell daily here in Cornell, CA and now serves as an outline for our loss here in Cornell. The rich history of Hollywood and the development of Los Angeles has long been tied to the history here and now many of those landmarks are relegated to just stories, where once you could have hiked to them and physically seen and touched them. So, the way we tell our stories has changed but the spirit of the mountains is still very much intact. In fact, the true grit that makes up many of my neighbors and friends has been on exhibit during these tragic times. Let’s take, for instance, Morgan Runyon. Morgan and his family own the Old Place Restaurant just next door and are my landlords here at Cornell Winery. I credit Morgan for saving our businesses as he hunkered down with fire hoses and his canvas jacket to fight the flames from taking hold. It is mind boggling to think of him doing what he did but if you know Morgan it is quite believable! Here is to one of our local heroes, Morgan Runyon.
I live over at Malibou Lake which is just a half mile down Mulholland and stories of heroism are everywhere! We took a pretty good hit loosing just about a third of our community as we are surrounded by burnt out homes and melted cars, but the mountains have begun to sprout green grass and the newly silenced, Mulholland Hwy, silenced by cutting off the parade of super loud vehicles racing down Mulholland, reminds us of why we live here to begin with. The traffic pattern has been largely affected by the melting of the bridge that stood right in front of the Winery and The Old Place. The bridge melted due to the irresponsible actions of maintenance crews who left many large tree stumps and branches under it which ignited and created a campfire that burned for hours underneath, this literally melted the I-Beams and the asphalt. We do not know when this will be resolved but it does make our access a dead-end street.
As for the grapevines, well, it is too early to tell as you really don’t know what survived until budbreak which in in March/April. We will be waiting with bated breath in hopes that the fire moved quickly over the vines which were entering hibernation. The number one question is “will there be wines?” and the answer is - YES! Be reminded that good wine takes a minimum of a year to produce and often up to three, so the inventory in most cases was saved as it is stored off property. We have a couple of very tragic stories of people who stored all their wine on a property that was lost but that is few and far between. People also ask if the fire affects the wine we are selling – NO. One of the most critical times when fire can really affect a vintage would be while the grapes are on the vine (not the case here) and or during fermentation (not the case here) or while sitting in a barrel waiting to mature (not the case here, as the majority of wine from these mountains is made elsewhere as we do not have any winery licenses here in the Santa Monica’s except for Moraga in Bel Air).
So moving forward, we will continue to offer a place for those local producers to sell their products and we will continue to tell their stories to our customers. We are putting together many more exciting and colorful events here at Cornell and hope you keep an eye open for one that fits your schedule.
Blessings are all around us, all we need to do is keep our eyes and hearts open to receive them!
Much love to you all,
Tim, Marley and the team here at Cornell Winery & Tasting Room

Featuring Wes Hagen
Saturday, June 23rd, 2017
Reception 7pm / Blending begins at 7:30pm
Saturday, June 23rd, 2017
Reception 7pm / Blending begins at 7:30pm
Our first blending event with Wes Hagen was such a success that we immediately planned another, we had just as many people on the waiting list as we did attend the event, so here we go.
Bordeaux – this region of France and it’s history with wine dates back to the Roman era. The vision has changed many times but surprisingly the grapes they have blended to make their wines have stayed the same. There is something to say about the tenacity of this region, the success they have enjoyed and then the knowledge they have imparted on the wine making regions of the world.
Bordeaux allows the use of six different grapes in the construction of their blends, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot remain at the top of that list and these grapes usually makes up the majority of the blend but Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot, Malbec and Carmenere are also used at the winemaker’s fancy to construct a wine that they feel represents the property and the vintage. Bordeaux also produces white wine and although only three grapes are primarily used for this production, there are a total of nine that are officially recognized. Bordeaux has a total of 15 different grapes used to blend their wines. The Rhone Valley, another growing region in France, has 31 recognized grape varietals to blend with.
And then there are different clonal selections of the same grape, but we will keep things simplified for your digestion!
Understanding these blending techniques is critical in truly understanding wine as blending is used by winemakers in every wine region of the world to enhance the end result, to make the wine we drink more enjoyable, longer lived and representative of the vintage.
Come join us on June 23rd as Wes Hagen guides us through the general philosophy and then puts us into teams where we will begin experimenting on different blends. A master blend will be submitted by each team to be judged and then awarded the title of “Best Blend”.
The evening will be interactive and as fun as any event with Wes always promises. We will begin the night with a bountiful reception of delicious treats to satisfy our hunger and condition our systems for the evening’s experiments. We will begin our blending exercise at 7:30pm and will be wrapping up at 9:30pm at which time you are more than welcome to enjoy what is left of our efforts.
These events sell out fast so if you are interested in joining us, you will need to act fast as space is always limited here at Cornell.
The cost for this event is $60 inclusive.
All tickets are paid for through PayPal and require you to e-mail

7pm - 9pm

Since moving to the Mountains above the crashing waves of Malibu and the hustle and bustle of Ventura Blvd., I have discovered a conspicuous string, that one day I decided to find out where it would lead. What I discovered was honesty, sincerity, integrity and creativity in my surroundings. The honesty comes from being part of a small community, one that brings with it responsibility to the community as a whole. There is no hiding in a small community, your mistakes are often highlighted but your successes are celebrated by many. The sincerity comes with familiarity as relationships do not exist without it. Integrity is about being taken seriously and building the faith of others and earning their respect. Creativity is simply the celebration of these amazing gifts, we build our alters and we perform our pageants and parades in hopes of sharing these gifts with others.

Through friends and neighbors I have been introduced to ancient secrets that seem to light the path and one of these friends is a Chumash Healer and Professor at the USC School of Pharmacy for 27 years. Mr. Adams is part of a long line of healers as his ancestor William Adams was a surgeon and Virginia settler, who embraced the healing teaching of the Native Americans in the 1630’s. Mr. Adams was chosen by the Chumash Chief, Ted Garcia, to pick up the head dress and follow in his mentor’s steps. Mr. Adams’ mentor was Cecilia Adams, Chumash Medicine Woman, who passed away in 2012.

Professor Adams has dedicated much of his life to studying the ways of the Native Americans and teaching, not only his students but all who are interested in learning this valuable information. After joining Professor Adams on one of his educational walks I invited him to come and visit Cornell Winery in hopes that he would join us one day for a discussion of his findings and share with us several key remedies that each of can use in our daily lives. Through this interaction we have also discovered several interesting items that we can forage ourselves that are not only interesting but delicious. We will be presenting several delicious items of gastronomy for your enjoyment as well.

People who eat this have healthier hearts!
It can lower your blood pressure.
It has been known to lower bad cholesterol.
It helps reduce inflammation.
So do us all a favor and keep reading. If you live anywhere near Cornell Winery then you know about Tifa Chocolates and Gelato. I bet there are quite a few that don’t know the story of just how this place came to be but most importantly the incredible wealth of knowledge that it’s owner has on this magical compound.
Shawn Orr and his sister Candace started Tifa back in 2008. With a little help from the family they have created one of all of our children’s favorite stops on the way home. What is lurking in the minds of these guys is truly amazing and I had a chance to witness Shawn in action here at the winery for a private event. What I witnessed was a really handsome guy stand up in front of a group and mesmerize them with his knowledge on chocolate, single plantation chocolate. You know the really good stuff, the stuff responsible for the statements above.
The true bonus was that another handsome guy stood up there with him and presented wines paired with this un-holy goodness. Please come on in and join us for round two.

We are excited at the opportunity to share one of our most
valuable assets, our friends and their connections to this intoxicating world of wine. After 26 years in the wine business I have been blessed with the opportunity to develop relationships both professionally and intimately with some of the most amazing talents, characters and degenerates in the wine world. I have been reconnecting with some of these friends and asking them to come and share some of their magic with you.
One of these wizards has made room in his schedule to come and join us for an evening here at Cornell. His name is Wes Hagen, Wes was a High School English teacher when his stepfather and mother purchased some land in what is now known as the Santa Rita Hills. They had an idea of planting vineyards and traveling down the path that has now become part of the California Dream.
Wes quickly began his education and landed a job at Babcock winery with famed winemaker Brian Babcock as his mentor. Since then he was the vineyard manager and winemaker at Clos Pepe for 25 years until his family decided it was time to retire. During this time Wes was voted one of the top influential winemakers in the US according to the Wall Street Journal and Decanter magazine. Wes has lectured and traveled the world as an ambassador for the region. Wes has an amazing pedigree that I will let him tell you more about but, what I would like to share is one of the most amazingly talented wine professionals you will ever meet. Oh, and he is an absolute riot, his manner of describing wine and the business around it will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Wes is now the consulting winemaker for J.Wilkes Winery in Santa Maria, this property is owned by the Miller family who owns and operates several of the top vineyards in the state, Bien Nacido, French Camp and Solomon Hills. The Millers are prestige farmers who supply grapes to the top producers in California, allowing Wes, access to some of the very best grapes in the state to make his wine.
We will have the entire line up being poured along with small bites to pair and highlight the conversation. If you are looking to be educated and have loads of fun all while enjoying some of the best wines in California then the Lab@Cornell is the place to be.

Louis Joffred as Cioffredi
On Display May 2017 - December 2017
Artist Reception May 13th, 7pm
Please RSVP to [email protected]
In collecting my thoughts on our newest artist and him sharing with me his journey, I found myself touched by Lou's story. Lou Joffred is an artist, a painter but he is also a classically trained actor who spent many years honing his skills and putting them to use on stage as well as the silver screen. Lou had to make a choice at one point, that to continue chasing his dream of acting or to be a parent to his children and husband to his wife. He chose being a parent which meant leaving much of his vision for his life altered, at least for the time being. Well, that was some time ago and Lou has re-entered the scene with unbridled energy and magnetic energy.
Louis paints under the name Cioffredi, his father’s surname. Lou’s paintings exhibit his connection to the masters, his impressionistic style shows off his talent but it is his ability to stop time and capture the moment that just takes my breath away. His use of dappled light like in a Monet or perhaps the stopping of time like in a Renoir. Lou’s talents are obvious and personally I find him intriguing and genuine.
Please stop by the gallery and enjoy the work of Cioffredi. On the weekends you may find Louis paining under the eves of the winery as he feels at home here at the winery.

Introducing Rosie Swale Pope, Explorer, Activist, Humanitarian and Amazing Woman
As a resident and active participant of this community, I am forever amazed at the fruit it bears. It does seem strange how at home Cornell, California feels to me. I grew up across the valley in South Pasadena, which I guess has a few similarities - a small population surrounded by hills and mountains, an historic community with its beauty intact. The fact that I moved and found an area like this, or better yet an area like this finding me, fills me with a sense of place.
One of my many amazing neighbors, one who emanates a certain zest for life that is truly wonderful and hard not to notice, is Annette Trisler. Not long ago, Annette flagged me down and told me about her recent journey up Mt. Whitney. As always I was engrossed in all her passion as she described her trek up the mountain and how while on the mountain she met the extraordinary Rosie Swale Pope. Annette went on to share with me this woman’s remarkable story - a story of sorrow, hope, and happiness. Whether it be riding, running, sailing, or flying, Rosie journeys to all corners of this planet to share her message of hope and love.
Annette knows I often host interesting people for our speaker series called LEARN.LOVE.LIVE.LIFE., and so she asked if I would be interested in hosting Rosie here at Cornell. A quicker ‘yes’ response could not have been possible, followed by a deep breath and a pinch to remind myself that moments like this one are not just my fantasy. I highly recommend you dive into Rosie’s story here at Cornell, or watch one of the videos listed below. The CV of this world-class adventurer, humanitarian, and prolific author is mind-blowing.
One of my many amazing neighbors, one who emanates a certain zest for life that is truly wonderful and hard not to notice, is Annette Trisler. Not long ago, Annette flagged me down and told me about her recent journey up Mt. Whitney. As always I was engrossed in all her passion as she described her trek up the mountain and how while on the mountain she met the extraordinary Rosie Swale Pope. Annette went on to share with me this woman’s remarkable story - a story of sorrow, hope, and happiness. Whether it be riding, running, sailing, or flying, Rosie journeys to all corners of this planet to share her message of hope and love.

A stream of consciousness...
By Mary Wright
February - April 2017
Open House February 3rd, 2017 6-9pm
A bright summer day, an impromptu invitation, a stream, figuratively, literally, Oh what grace
From that day came an introduction to Mary Wright, we were invited to a showing of her work on her and her husband’s, Eric Lloyd Wright, Malibu property located high in mountains above famed Surfrider Beach. Walking down to the main structure to check in we noticed a grouping of paintings located on a clearing, overlooking the coastline down to Palos Verdes. I could tell then that this was going to be a free flowing gallery exhibit and the gallery was going to be nature itself.
We truly enjoyed the day as we meandered around a simply stunning natural landscape which Mary and Eric call home. One realization was that we were surrounded by an easy to feel energy; the theme of the show was the four elements of nature, Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. Our connections to these elements were on display in more ways than one. The respect for our environment and the love for humanity was evident everywhere we wandered
In today’s political climate spilling over into our personal lives more than ever before, I find it important to breathe deep and to center ourselves through art, music and laughter.
“Creativity is our Divinity” Mathew Fox
“The Purpose of life is Deep Joy. The way to get there is through the Ecstasy of Art.” Joseph Campbell
I encourage you to read more about Mary on her website HERE. A few things I have gleaned significant from my research are found from a deep connection to the environment, which goes way back. I was even able to find a Mike Wallace interview from 1957 with Eric Lloyd Wright’s grandfather, Frank Lloyd Wright, where his connection to blending architecture into the environment and the amazing synergy this creates was discussed in detail. Mary believes strongly, as do I, we are all interconnected regardless of species, race, sex, socio economic position, etc. Through nature we are gifted with an innate ability to center ourselves whenever we find a need. Each space I visited on my trip to Mary and Eric’s property exemplifies this connection and actually inspired me heavily on our own renovations to our new home.
Mary’s art has a definite connection to her time under the tutelage of Master Sumie Painter, Reiko Saito. There is a translucence that allows so much to come through.
On our departure, I made it a point to find Mary to make a connection in hopes of displaying her work at Cornell Winery one day. Well, her we are, announcing Mary Wright’s newest exhibit at Cornell Winery! Life is good and I am grateful for the opportunity to share a bit of that magic and mastery with you. We hope you stop by in the next few months to see Mary’s work first hand and in hopes you are so inspired that you take one home to enjoy in your personal haven.

Exhibiting October 2016 – December 2016
The gallery @Cornell has been displaying the work of local artists for 10 years now. We have been so blessed to be a part of so many people’s journeys and then having them become a part of ours. Locating and discovering established and budding artists in our own community has added such a depth to our own experience, as with artistry being such a personal expression it often leads to personal connections. My own collection started with the development of Cornell Winery & Tasting Room, with each show we fall in love, all over again with yet another artist!
In honor of our mission to locate and promote local wine, art and unique items of interest, we have nurtured a relationship with Sheila Fein. Recently, Sheila was helping craft promotional shots for her daughter utilizing the winery as a backdrop, her daughter is an aspiring Comedian. We had met previously but our familiarity with each other’s craft was minimal. Sheila introduced me to her work and I was instantly intrigued. She is a machine, she lives her art and produces constantly. After being presented with what seemed like hundreds of her drawings and paintings, we both identified an interesting theme and it surrounded the actual people in her work. What Sheila was telling me were personality traits and quirky notes of each model's own story as she presented the piece. I soon discovered that the figure models who work here in Los Angeles are actually part of a small, close society and one that is full of personality. Being given insight into the layers of the model, I began to see the personality traits flow through the work itself. This experience is and was something that I immediately wanted to share.
Sheila Fein is an accomplished artist who has branded her work as Fantasy Pop and after getting to know her, this brand fits as her energy and cadence aligned. While reviewing her art, I noticed a great amount of restraint on her part. I have interacted with many artist who immediately begin to interpret their own work often times in a very subtle way, but the intention is fairly easy to read. Sheila shared her work with me and simply enjoyed my interpretation, which mirrors a comment in her artist’s statement. “My philosophy is to work without the critic on my shoulder and let my imagination guide me." Sheila can identify her own take and personal signature these days but she credits the masters like Dali, Picasso, and Erte with showing her paths of never ending ways to combine images and styles.

Join us as we introduce the artist and enjoy the colors of the mountains
Wine, appetizers and discounts
Spring has sprung and the colors are fading quickly but not to fear as we are bringing color back to these mountains in dramatic fashion! Last year I met a young artist who traveled to the Santa Monica’s from Santa Fe New Mexico to find some additional inspiration. She shared with me some pieces she was working on and all I can say is her work brightened my day. I showed her around Downtown Cornell and discovered a mutual love for the surrounding area. It wasn’t long before we both committed to a show to kick off our summer season.
I am proud to introduce Ms. Rachel Houseman. Rachel received her BA in Liberal Arts with a focus in Art and Healing at Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont. Rachel went on to get her MA in Psychology and Art Therapy from Prescott College in Arizona. Rachel works as a Licensed Counselor using Art Therapy to help others. Rachel managed Blinking Light Art Gallery in Plainfield, VT and went on to find "Eye on the Mountain Art Gallery", located in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico. Rachel is also a published illustrator and author, her first children’s book “The Song of the Trees” is available at Amazon.com. Rachel is a life-long student who currently studies psychology, anthropology, world cultures and world religions. She is an avid traveler and has visited many countries around the world. Rachel’s unique style is fresh and has no official name, but has been called Colorist, Fauvist, Formalist, Neo-Impressionist, Neo-Symbolist, Visionary, Psychedelic Artist and Contemporary Minimalist. Rachel likes to help the viewer "feel" the colors and joy around them by heightening the senses. Making the everyday extraordinary is just a small part of her journey as she strives to awaken her viewers to the spirituality of the Earth and its miracles through spontaneous brushwork and color.
Inspired by the beauty of the Southwest, these are not your average Plein Air Paintings. The series began in 2004 on a road trip around the Southwestern deserts. Each painting is created on-site with the intuition, color and vision of the desert and mountains as the artist's visionary eye sees it. Each subject matter is selected through a process of scouting and sketching and painting. The colors are added in a layering process similar to a watercolor. The visionary, "psychedelic," colors are interpreted from what is seen with the eye and what is intuited from the land with the heart. Each tree, cloud, cactus and mountain has a source of light from within that the artist can fine tune through the process of creation. The ColorScapes are impressions from the land, expressions from the "eyes of the heart". The artist encourages her students to “see beyond the ordinary” in order for them to tune into subtle yet visible colors in the landscape. In Pursuit of creating moving and emotional art, the inspiration of the Earth must be a part of the process of creation. Each painting is always inspired by the real place, therefore capturing a unique moment in time. This real time, real experience of nature, light and spirit imbues to the viewer a sense of beauty and awe of nature.

Clifford Bailey
www.cliffordbailey.com
Clifford Nolan Bailey (born in Miami, 1969), graduated New York’s School of Visual Arts in 1991 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Now living in Los Angeles, he has gone on to develop an imaginative and highly individualized style of painting.
Bailey can trace the beginning of his artistic endeavors back to early childhood. With the help and encouragement of his teachers and supportive family, he found himself enrolled, and participating, in several South Florida programs for the gifted, until 1987, when he landed in New York City to begin his college training.
After graduating college in 1991, Bailey set his sights on Miami’s exploding South Beach Nightlife scene. Bailey hosted many “One Night Only” exhibitions at bustling clubs and crowded restaurants where he attracted the attention of local businesses and collectors, who quickly snatched up his work.
To this day Bailey remains a traveling artist, riding the waves of the art world taking him to destinations all over the country. He exhibits his work in galleries, nightclubs and boutiques as well as private homes across the US and abroad.
Bailey’s paintings evoke the era and ambiance of the roaring twenties, but with a modern twist. From his portraits of musicians in fine tailored suits to his sparse and dramatic street scenes. His work continues to be admired by fans and collectors around the world.
We hope you join us as we will be serving up a feast for the eyes and the palate.
Proceeds from this evening’s sales will be donated to Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Ventura County.

a speaker series
THURSDAY, NOV. 20th
Life just seems like a series of transitions that begins in the womb and ends with one last breath. This is, of course, a transition that we all share but, in between these two places, are a myriad of transitions that we think are unique to us as individuals. My own personal transition of working in the corporate world, chasing down a so-called “shared goal”, living in an environment where the man-made overshadows natural beauty and the words of another become more important than my own internal voice, to a complete reversal of those conditions and a scenario that has connected and inspired this series.
We have been lucky enough, as I am sure you have, as well, to meet some very dynamic and interesting people. We would like to take the opportunity to share these connections with you. The series will be held on Thursday nights here at Cornell Winery, so please join our mailing list and make the time and make the commitment to LEARN.LOVE.LIVE. a better LIFE.

In a society that urges us to keep up with the Kardashians or embrace the luxurious lifestyle of some Real Housewives, there can be great difficulty in finding peace within ones self.
Everyone is searching for direction and purpose and this book enables the reader to find both. The co-author of Recalculating... The GPS for the Soul says.
Andrea Stauch has lived a privileged life but now focuses on something much more important and transcendent. In her book she shares the personal story of redirecting her passions, dreams and energy away from materialism with the help of her daughter, Samantha Schachtel.
The mother-daughter team are both professional therapists and metaphysicians who work fervently to share Andreas personally designed method of Numerotherapy. This practice correlates specific and individualized healing based off of numbers associated to each person. Numerotherapy combines ancient numerology with modern spiritual restoration to help direct, reroute, and arrive at spiritual self-discovery.
Our hope is to help change the perception that many people have about numerology as being something that is only meant for predictions and airy-fairy nonsense, Stauch said.
Stauchs book chronicles some of the moments of personal growth, near tragedy, and difficult roads that led her to become a new and empowered woman. Recalculating... The GPS for the Soul shares that anyone can harness the knowledge and power within numbers once they are understood and applied.

Brian Mahan
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner
Body Centered Therapist specializing in the physiology of stress and in renegotiating shock and developmental trauma

Speaker 7:30 – 8:30

[email protected]
Brian D. Mahan, SEP, was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in 2003. He suffered daily from 7 to 10 full-blown panic attacks, following a catastrophic automobile accident. After just a few sessions with a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), he was completely symptom free. He immediately contacted The Somatic Experiencing Training Institute and committed to study the lifework of Dr. Peter A. Levine.
For the next three years, Brian studied the physiology of stress and trauma and continued to receive personal sessions. He quickly discovered that healing trauma of one event had a global effect on other events, as well. In essence, he set out to resolve panic attacks as a result of a car wreck and, simultaneously, found relief and broke free from habituated lifelong patterns that were related to developmental traumas.
Brian now helps other trauma survivors who struggle at times with Stress, Anxiety, Panic Attacks and PTSD. He specializes in working with both developmental traumas (birth traumas, abuse and neglect, attachment/detachment issues, etc.) and shock traumas (divorce, loss, falls, car wrecks, medical procedures, acts of violence, rape, torture, near death experiences, etc.).
Brian is an educator, author and practitioner in private practice. He is also a guest lecturer, assists Abi Blakeslee and Maggie Kline, Senior Faculty Member at The Somatic Experiencing Training Institute, and holds retreats and seminars, focused on re-establishing a sense of safety and re-awakening embodiment through healing stress and trauma.

ART EXHIBIT THIS WEDNESDAY, OCT. 15th
@Cornell
The new tag line as we are putting an effort towards creating unique events with an interesting vibe that, well, makes them irresistible! We hope you are able to key in on what we are doing and stop by for a visit, we will do our best to make your time worth it.
On Wednesday, October 15th we have invited Cheyenne Ellis, acclaimed photographer, film maker and stunt woman (that’s right), to present a recent study. Cheyenne is a Fashion, Lifestyle and Travel photographer that resides just down the road in Topanga, CA. Cheyenne spent the first part of her life in Mammoth and the next stage in Malibu. The outdoors and the active life is in her blood and she has been able to turn that love into a career on several fronts. Cheyenne’s comes from a stunt family and has carried on the tradition herself as she has been doubling Katherine Heigl and Rebecca Romijn for most of their careers. Doing stunts helped pay her way through photography school so the connection is one that will never die.
One thing you can see in Cheyenne’s photography over and over again is a smile. Print after print and before you know it you can’t stop smiling yourself. Cheyenne really does have a whimsical nature that seems to transcend between her personal and professional life. I must say that she and her work are infectious, so come to this event and become infected with her energy!
In August Cheyenne was invited down to Panama to meet up with several friends that have started an organization called Floating doctors, www.floatingdoctors.com . The experience, as she states, was life changing. Cheyenne usually does not show her work in such a fashion so this really is a unique perspective coming from a very talented photographer. You be the judge, please check out www.cheyenneellis.com. All of the work will be from this study and the proceeds from the event will be going to this very worthwhile organization.
The event will be handled a little differently. Cheyenne will be hosting a dinner at the Old Place beginning at 6:00, full dinner Old Place style with drinks and then the exhibit along with sweets and cheese to finish the night all while being entertained along the way with some amazing live music. The second option would be to simply join us at Cornell Winery for the exhibit, wine, cheese, sweets and live music. The exhibit begins at 7:30pm.
Dinner and exhibit $150.00
Exhibit only $75.00
Ticket Prices are tax deductible
The Old Place and Cornell can only hold so many so this night will definitely sell out, so if there is an interest please contact Cheyenne to gain entry as soon as possible.
