About the host
Hosted by Vanessa Wruble
My partner and I never meant to be ranchers or live in the desert. But when the pandemic hit, the winds that blew people out of their normal lives sent us from Brooklyn, NY – where he had been city slickers, political activists, media execs, tech startup founders, journalists, travel writers, humanitarian aid workers, and artists – to the tiny California desert town of Morongo Valley.
The ranch grew entirely organically – first we started rescuing dogs, as we had done extensive dog rescue in New York City – and along the way we found other animals in need of a safe place to live and be loved. It started to snowball: we now have over 100 rescued and rehomed animals. And then we invited other artists to come create spectacular works on the property, set in one of the most stunning valleys in America.
Our furry and feathered friends – including curious emus, persistent goats, meandering piggies, free-range mini horses, voracious mini-cows, ridiculous chickens, mouthy ducks and many more – welcome our visitors with open wings to their home amidst the breathtaking desert landscapes.
What we offer is true sanctuary, for both people and animals. The magic is in the mix of personal animal interactions and a truly sublime environment. While art connects us with others and our environment on a deeper level, the research shows that deep, immersive experiences with animals and nature have a powerful impact on our ability to heal from trauma.
Kaleidoscope Desert is our garden of eden – a magic portal where nature and art create a truly transcendent experience.

Why they chose this property
Our town is a little oasis in the middle of the desert with no more than 5,000 local inhabitants, not far from Joshua Tree National Park. At once strange and sublime, the hills rise up around you, dotted with Yucca trees that look like ancient creatures come to life. The nights are silent and peaceful, with a sky full of stars that seem close enough to touch. There is an energy in this place that is hard to describe: the sunsets are a work of art, air is filled with the songs of coyotes and the scurrying of desert critters. It's a place where you can come to heal, refresh, and connect.
