Special Purpose
Having events at Gecko Ranch is already a proven match hosting THRiiiVE Summits 1-9 successfully. These cherished events continued in LA after the WSR pools closed but will return to Warner Springs now that there areĀ rooms available for those who don't fit in one of the almost 20 beds at Gecko Ranch. Then, we will host our first wedding and many other events in early 2019.

Special People
Our sons nickname is "Gecko". Gecko emerged and stuck from his older sisters mispronunciation of his name. He is special and perfect all at the same time while we strive to create the environment for him to THRiiiVE!!!
His healing journey has taken many twists and turns and hopefully much of what was learned will be valuable at Gecko Ranch.
Special Passion
The answer is simple: Warner Springs Ranch Healing Hot Springs. We learned about this amazing healing destination and started driving from Los Angeles twice per week to let "Gecko" soak in the healing waters. It was nothing short of amazing and stimulated a property search close to WSR and we ultimately got the land that is now known as Gecko Ranch.
WSR has been closed for many years but plans to re-open the Hot Spring Pools in 2019 and we will be first in line hopefully with many others who will also benefit from this healing water.
For every day enjoyed by a full-price patron, we will offer the same number of days to special needs families and non-for-profit groups.
Special Place
Beyond the health related summits we aspire to join our Texas based Autism Ranch celebrating weddings at Gecko Ranch. We are joining forces to launch BarfootBride.com and HillbillyHitch.com both dedicated to creating the most beautiful and inspiring weddings for all to enjoy.
The long-term goal is to create a template from the weddings that happen at the Autism Trust (photo) and at Gecko Ranch for all the states to utilize. The model is designed to be an income stream that will underwrite the costs for the adult males on the spectrum who live and THRiiiVE there.

not just "Gecko" but others just like him.
