OFFICIAL SANCTUARY ANNOUNCEMENT: SNOB HILL ACQUISITION SECURED

East San Diego's new Hot Spot—where you can experience nature, family fun, and create some magical art! Clear your maladies away with a beautiful art getaway!

A Message of Agape Love from Founder & Author-Artist, Linda Piersón

Whoo Hoo!!! It is officially time to celebrate! With immense joy, deep gratitude, and a mother's fierce, unconditional Agape love, I am thrilled to officially announce that our counter-offer has been accepted: We have secured our foothills acreage tract for Ricky’s Place: A Healing Arts Sanctuary by Piersón!

We have successfully acquired a historic, 0.52-acre 1930 estate nestled along the beautiful, breezy mountain elevations off Snob Hill in Jacumba, California [travel]. Building upon our established baseline foundation in El Centro, this milestone sets a beautiful, progressive marker for our multi-generational vision as we continue to plan new, exciting, and peaceful sanctuary locations in the future.

Designing the Landscape of Peace

Our immediate next steps during escrow and inspection week focus on designing the grounds around our absolute safety parameters and neurological grounding models. Utilizing the estate's extensive, majestic native boulder reserves, our water-feature specialists will restore a pre-existing stone structure into a gorgeous, filtered stone wading pool and koi pond, fulfilling the clinical nature recommendations issued by Ricky's beloved psychiatrist, Dr. Adusie. Piersón has discovered that providing individuals with neurodivergent and complex needs an artistic, music-filled, happy, and family-type experience—wrapped in gorgeous mountain views and peaceful water ponds to boot—is deeply therapeutic and actively combats anxiety! Furthermore, we are clearing out old outbuildings and installing continuous, heavy-duty perimeter safety barriers and level walkways to guarantee absolute physical protection and privacy across our primary activity lines.

The Multi-Generational Vision & RSVP Gallery Openings

This historic Snob Hill estate serves as a premier landmark for our upcoming public charity foundation and the upcoming collection of my books, including my main biographical volumes, My Painted Soul, and my caregiving text, Existing with SMI. In this premier setting, I will be debuting my extensive, lifelong collection of original paintings, highlighting our signature movement: The 21st Century Sophisticated Primitive — Piersón. Operating as an exclusive Private Membership Association (PMA) accessed strictly via private invitation and mandatory RSVP schedules, the sanctuary will host highly controlled fine-art day classes for individuals of all ages. Our fine-art classes will run side-by-side with exclusive, private RSVP Gallery Openings and Art Showings hosted throughout the entire year, featuring special Author Book Signings during these vibrant seasonal events.

The exceptional completed art pieces created by our budding artists will be offered for sale to empower their vocational independence and will be mounted across our primary Salon Gallery walls alongside museum-quality works created and graciously donated by our international residents. To celebrate the healing power of rhythm, the grounds will feature The Bob Marley "Reggae Style" Performance Stage, hosting intimate, live acoustic performances directly from our students. The entrance drop-off zone will feature The Lady Gaga Expressive Arts Pavilion & Monet Studio, serving as our primary public programming landmark while keeping our personal residential life 100% private. To ensure absolute safety, our structure explicitly mandates that a professional, competent caretaker will be present on-site at all times during all public programming to exclusively support our primary comfort zone, freeing me to safely teach and manage our gallery showings without disruption.

Join the Circle of Friends

To our valued circle of sponsors, philanthropists, and artists: our capital campaign tiers ranging from $250,000 to a full $2.5 million Title Endowment are officially live. To protect our absolute privacy, all real estate procurement assets route safely into a private, third-party Supplemental Special Needs Trust framework, while general operational grants route independently through our public charity engineDa.

The dream is no longer a concept—the keys are moving into our hands. Thank you to everyone who has believed in this vision. We are building a fortress of love!

Any and all contributions will be greatly appreciated and remembered as part of our Painted Life!!

Many Thanks,
