(NaturalPath) With heart disease being one of the biggest silent killers in the world today it would appear counterintuitive to forgo pills and traditional medicine in favor of spiritually tinged prescriptions mixed with mindful-based practices as an effort to heal in perpetuity. Meet Ocean Robbins; Ocean’s grandfather, Irvine Robbins, founded Baskin-Robbins (31 flavors) ice cream company. Ocean was born in a cabin to parents who lived simply and practiced yoga and meditation for several hours every day. Ocean spent his formative early years steeped in values of deep practice and social conscience.
At 15, Ocean was co-founder of the Creating Our Future environmental speaking tour, on which he and three other participants spoke in person to more than 30,000 students, presented for 2,000 people at the United Nations, and opened for the Jerry Garcia band in San Francisco.
In 1990, at 16, Ocean was the founder of YES!, an organization he directed for the next 20 years. YES! has reached more than 620,000 people in 1,200 school assembly and conference presentations. YES! has also organized and facilitated 100+ week-long gatherings for young leaders from 65+ nations, published seven youth action guides, and led hundreds of day-long workshops. In 2012 Ocean founded the Food Revolution Network, which now has more than 32,000 members working for healthy, sustainable, humane and delicious food. He currently serves as adjunct professor in the Peace Studies department at Chapman University. Ocean has personally spoken and facilitated leadership gatherings in Jordan, Israel/Palestine, Singapore, Costa Rica, Russia, Finland, Canada, the Netherlands, India, Peru, and across the USA. Ocean is co-author of Choices For Our Future: A Generation Rising For Life On Earth (1994) and of The Power of Partnership (2009), and speaks widely, spreading a message of hope and inspiration to conferences, companies and organizations.
