Modern History on this Sacred Land

Formerly called “The Steam Vent Inn & Health Retreat on Volcano Ranch,” Hawaii residents and Big Island tourists were served here without restriction for nearly a decade prior to February, 2006, when County of Hawaii officials ordered the closing of this property because a local gang of criminals filed fraudulent complaints seeking to steal the property, terminate Dr. Horowitz’s ownership, mission, and presence in Hawaii.

Thereafter, this magnificent land was privatized and effectively closed to the public until May, 2013, when we resumed inviting visitors for steam bathing and overnight stays, and students began working again in apprenticeships on a limited basis.

Between 2005 and 2007, even while the estate was closed to the public, Dr. Horowitz worked to restore the original bathhouse with some of the most colorful lava rocks in Hawaii as shown in the photograph below.

Along with the closing of the “Inn” in 2006, long nature trails for walks to explore steam caves were also closed and rapidly became overgrown. (We are currently working to restore these incredible attractions, and your donations will help us.)

At the same time we were forced to close the estate and nature walks, our 100-yard long "Rainbow Therapy Walk" was also abandoned. This had been operating for nearly a year at night using a series of colored lights that illuminated a rift of steam vents creating a curtain of rainbow-colored lava-heated steam rising as high as 150 feet in the air, displaying all the primary colors of the rainbow. It was Dr. Horowitz’s vision to have park benches available adjacent each color where visitors could sit, relax, and deep breath the Breath-of-the-Earth-filled air, vibrating in the color that best remedied their particular ailment(s). This most extraordinary “color therapy” capability is also currently under re-construction.

Since the 1952 lava flow occurred here, three unique microclimates have existed and are still viewable. These include a desert-like zone between a tropic rainforest and the typical Big Island ohea jungle, The desert-like condition, unique to this area of the Big Island, exists due to the constant heat sourcing from the vents and warm sub-terrain where tall dry grass adjacent green cacti are seen.

During the late Winter and early Spring, rainbows frequently begin and end on this Hawaiian holy-land where we also get plenty of sunshine.

Whenever it rains here (at elevation 1,000 feet), gentle waterfalls flow to soothe souls and uplift spirits. . . .

In 2007, Dr. Horowitz decrypted “The Real da Vinci Code” to reveal the greenish-yellow color you see in the photos of this land, celebrated by the botanical world, algae in the pools, and chlorophyll all around, is vibrating with LOVE in 528nm/Hz frequency(ies). Thereafter, he realized, guests acquire the naturally therapeutic "purgative and restorative" spirit of the Big Island of Hawaii, expanded by pure LOVE, simply by breathing and drinking this holy water, besides steaming and bathing in it.

How better to commune with the essence, or resonance, of earth and nature?

On the Spring Solstice of 2009, three months before Dr. Horowitz’s international “LIVEH2O--Concert for the Living Water” in which groups from 76 nations participated during the Summer Solstice, June 19-21, 2009, including one group here in the Kingdom of Heaven, 18 people representing many aboriginal cultures spontaneously gathered on this property, including caretakers of “Grandmother Drum” touring the world at that time on a peace mission. The event, according to one participating Hawaiian, represented the long prophesied “Rising of the Phoenix” necessary to fulfill ancient Hawaiian prophecies pursuant to the Big Island’s special role in spreading the Spirit of ALOHA internationally. The drum was played with prayers and chants for world peace the “inn” atop one of the largest lava tubes on the Big Island (i.e., a resonance chamber). The ceremony transmitted the “good vibration” and heart-felt loving intention for planetary peace through the steam vents, conceivably into the lava flowing into the Pacific Ocean. This ceremony is believed to have been historic and spiritually significant.
