Michel Pascal, The Future of Wellness
Why do people suffer more and more mentally today?
Because our usual solutions are completely inadequate. When you consider the latest research from Microsoft, which shows that the attention span online is less than 3 seconds, how can experts still believe that a panel, advice, or efforts of concentration will bring about significant change? Experts are thinking according to their old maps; they speak only for themselves. They fail to realize how people are being devastated by stress, overthinking, and mental confusion. 99% of people are unable to follow advice or make an effort. One day, a prisoner said to me: “Michel, if you tell us to take a deep breath, share our story, you’re not being respectful; you’re just copying and pasting your old map. You don’t realize how much we are suffering today.” This prisoner perfectly articulated the essence of my program. Instead of copying and pasting our old wisdom or developing some kind of new age folklore, we need to find solutions that are immediately effective, without any effort.
Is this possible?
Yes, this is precisely what we are doing at Amity Foundation Los Angeles, the largest foundation in California for prisoner reintegration, with the best results in America. 92% of prisoners never return to jail, and we have zero suicides. Prisoners are not experts or Ph.D. holders. What we are doing is exactly the opposite of the usual inadequate solutions, yet these people have some of the best mental health outcomes in America.
Why isn’t this result more well-known?
Because these people are not considered. Also, because we prefer to listen to experts and stick to our inadequate solutions. But these communities are the pioneers of a new world. They are the hope of the world. They have already built the future of wellness.
What is the future of wellness?
The future of wellness is based on two points: we don’t want to make any effort, and we need immediate benefits. CGPro, the best 3D creators (Jurassic World, Lion King, Shrek, Madagascar…), have adapted my practice “Meditate like a Dolphin” into a 3D immersive experience. We will launch this wellness revolution with dolphins on May 16 in Los Angeles, Art District, and simultaneously in Times Square, New York, on a huge billboard. With a headset, people will be able to meditate like a dolphin, metaphorically diving into their souls to deeply calm their minds, without any effort of concentration, in just a few minutes, and navigating in 3D with the headset. On June 6, at The Rubin Museum, I will also present this unique meditative experience in the world. We are also working to present this 3D experience in many hospitals, schools, companies, grocery stores, restaurants… When you enter the 3D experience with dolphins, it immediately calms your mind, changing the gray and white matter of your brain, decreasing cortisol, the stress hormone, and increasing serotonin, the wellbeing hormone. This experience marks a major shift in wellness. We are moving from the era of effort and advice to no-effort and no-advice but real experiences.

Will you extend this experience to children?
Yes, absolutely. This is what we are already doing in Hermosa Beach, California, at Indivisible Arts, founded by the ingenious Rafael McMaster, a nonprofit making a profound impact by teaching consciousness to youth in LA County. (www.indivisiblearts.org). This unique school in the world is also the present future of wellness in America.
Do you think this 3D experience can impact millions of people?
Certainly. As Michelle Narciso (Ommm) said: “With your approach, you save the lives of the most suffering incarcerated people, so you can save the world.” Every time I go on tour, I will present this ingenious 3D experience. For a decade, I have had the honor of working with my friend Mark Faucette, director of AHP, the largest project for the reintegration of the homeless since America’s history. We want to offer this 3D immersive experience to every community. Mental Health is the priority of our time.
How will you launch this 3D Experience?
We will launch the 3D immersive experience “Meditate like a Dolphin” at Cocotte House in the Art District of LA, the new fancy destination of the city. Cocotte House is truly exceptional—it’s not just a fantastic restaurant but also a TV studio, podcast studio, and a spacious venue for events and workspaces. On May 16, we will debut “Meditate like a Dolphin” with the directors of Amity Foundation, Mark Faucette from AHP, and Temple Hayes, the spiritual leader and iconic legend of the LGBT community. Simultaneously, the launch will take place in NYC on a large billboard in Times Square, associated with the prestigious Rubin Museum of New York. This venue aspires to become the future hub of wellness in Los Angeles through collaboration with communities and celebrities. Additionally, every weekend, I will host brunch meditations, with all the local residents of the Art District. It will be the inaugural 3D immersive experience where people can meditate with dolphins before enjoying their dinner. Philippe Nodet, director of Cocotte House and his brilliant French chef have conceived the idea of crafting a Meditative delicious menu to complement my meditation practice. For sure, this is the future of wellness, far from any usual approaches.
How will you launch this 3D Experience?
We will launch the 3D Immersive experience Meditate like a Dolphin in Art District LA, Cocotte House, simultaneous in NYC on a big billboard of Times Square. This place wants to become the future of wellness, also I will develop brunch meditation, integrating all the local people of Art District, associated with communities and celebrities.
As a singer, your latest single “Christ” has gone viral. How do you feel?
The day I listened to the Ukrainian Virtuoso Pianist Maryna Kysla playing Chopin at the Sanctuary of Leigh and Carla McLoskey in Malibu, I was in tears. Immediately, the idea came to sing meditation, the most beautiful prayers, to the genius melodies of Chopin. It is also very important to support Maryna Kysla and all her Ukrainian family and friends amidst the bombings. I sing ‘Christ’ to bring peace, hope, and love, and to awaken our dormant minds, lost in inactive activism. Sometimes, we are too tired to pray, too exhausted to tackle even the most difficult tasks… doing nothing. So, I hope that ‘Christ’ can become a sacred moment where we can reconnect with ourselves, feel our souls, and be reconnected to God. How can we live without God? The goal of our life is to draw closer to God
MARYNA KYSLA
Ukrainian Virtuoso Pianist
You are considered a Ukrainian virtuoso. Do you believe that the song “CHRIST,” where you collaborate with Michel Pascal, can be beneficial, especially today?
I truly believe that the song ‘CHRIST,’ a collaboration with Michel Pascal, holds immense potential for benefit, especially in our current times. Music has a unique ability to touch hearts and evoke emotions, transcending language and cultural barriers. Amidst life’s struggles, this prayerful music can be a comforting light. It can remind us that even in difficult times, there’s a higher force we can seek for solace and guidance.
Do you think that incorporating prayers and singing onto Chopin melodies can assist people in discovering him?
Absolutely! I believe that combining prayers and singing with Chopin’s timeless melodies is a powerful way to introduce people to his genius. His compositions are rich and beautiful, with each note resonating with emotion and depth.
When we infuse these melodies with spiritual elements, they become more than music; they become gateways—whispers of hope, echoes of eternity.
As an artist, I am humbled to bring Chopin’s prayerful compositions to the world, hoping they will resonate with people.
Christ,” the first single, has gone viral on YouTube. How do you feel as a Ukrainian artist? What does your family think about this first viral song? Have you received any comments from friends in Ukraine?”
My family and friends have heard the prayer song, and they liked it. I believe that people, in general, perceive the prayer very positively. Now, with my country at war and many people feeling exhausted and despondent, this prayer has the power to ignite a small flame of hope in their hearts. They pray to all the saints, seeking an end to the war. I cannot watch passively; I want to contribute by playing Chopin’s works. May this music serve as a prayer for all people.

Documentary
From Set to Spectacle: Actor Joey Luthman Takes on a World Record for Cat Health
Joey Luthman has spent two decades building a career in front of the camera. A veteran of network television and film, Luthman has appeared in recurring and guest roles on Weeds, Hawaii Five-0, Chicago Med, Alexa & Katie, *General Hospital, The Goldbergs, Speechless, and Modern Family, along with feature film credits including Bad Teacher and An American Carol. Discovered as a child performer on The Tyra Banks Show, Luthman comes from a family of seven performing siblings and has since built out a career behind the camera as well, working as a writer, director, and producer on his own projects. You can see his acting credits via IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2545508/.
Now, Luthman is bringing that same instinct for performance to a very different kind of role, off-script and airborne.
THE NEXT ACT: A WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT
On September 19th, Luthman will attempt a Guinness World Record for hands-free pogo jumping in Glendale, CA, the latest stunt in an ongoing personal mission to raise $1 million for the EveryCat Health Foundation, the world’s leading granting foundation for feline health research and a top funder in the search for a cure for feline Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a disease that affects up to 50% of cats age 10 and older
It’s not the first time Luthman has turned a physical feat into a fundraising platform. Last year, he rode a one-wheeled electric bike across the United States to kick off the campaign, documenting the journey in his film CAT MAN: Journey to Save Cat Kind.
The documentary will get a free screening at the Glendale event starting at 3:00 PM, ahead of the 5:00 PM record attempt.
For an actor known for guest spots and recurring TV roles, the pivot to endurance stunts and philanthropy marks a notable expansion of his public profile — one built less on scripted performance and more on physical spectacle in service of a cause.

Real Estate
Amelia Turbyfill Is Building Bozeman Luxury Homes With Clarity and Fusion
What do luxury mountain living, thoughtful design, and real estate all have in common? Amelia Turbyfill.
Wide blue skies and jagged rocky peaks surround Amelia Turbyfill’s listings. Bright wood accents are strewn throughout the homes, and tasteful modern furnishings complete the design.
Her work is integral to the selling of these million-dollar houses. Deeper than that, she mirrors these rugged surroundings and contemporary finishes in her practice.
Amelia Turbyfill is influencing Bozeman luxury real estate through thoughtful development. She connects the shape of new homes to the lifestyle and long-term value buyers desire.
The new construction of Bozeman Yards exemplifies Turbyfill’s expertise. Her approach involves knowing how to sell luxury property and understanding the lasting appeal that architecture, location, and community can bring to investment potential- foundational qualities to the new development.
Where Experience and Relationship-Building Collide
Bozeman Yards is a 39-residence luxury development that has recently broken ground in the Bozeman Mills Arts District, with construction underway. Turbyfill is the Exclusive Listing Agent for Bozeman Yards.
While this role is distinctive, Turbyfill also brings expertise in ski resort and lifestyle markets, including Big Sky and Park City. There, she advises clients on luxury homes, ski-in/ski-out properties, and more.
But how does she do it? Turbyfill aligns clients’ lifestyle goals with her gained long-term asset strategy knowledge to create a purchase that serves personal and financial goals.
To do so, she evaluates new developments through several lenses: design, location, livability, lifestyle fit, market positioning, and future value. Her monetary knowledge likely comes from over seven years of industry experience, but the rest comes from deep conversations with clients.
For Turbyfill, real estate buying or selling is not merely a transaction; it is an opportunity to build unique relationships.
Also unique to Turbyfill’s work is contradiction. She brings the inside and outside together in a central space, while also selling the irreplaceable “luxury” of mountain living.

Combining Contradictions Into Cohesion
The outdoors is a significant part of life in Bozeman, Montana, where the build is located, and Turbyfill explains on her Instagram, @ameliarealestateco, that much of the natural, relaxing feeling comes from the condo design process.
Her work strongly reflects her interest in an outdoor lifestyle with residential comforts. Just as she marries price and design, Turbyfill represents properties that combine the wildness of nature with a serene home.
The difficult part is determining what luxury means in mountain markets. Listening to clients is half the struggle, but so is navigating a shifting definition as consumer needs and wants change.
In previous decades, luxury may have meant expansive property, high-end finishes, expensive building materials, or prime location. While many of those still matter in today’s market, buyers are also turning toward thoughtful architecture, convenient location, proximity to experiences, surrounding community, sustainability, and ease of ownership.
Turbyfill has shown she doesn’t shy away from a challenge. As the sole listing agent for the new Bozeman yards build, she provides reason to believe she has her finger on the pulse of what contemporary luxury property buyers want.

Profile of a Distinguished Real Estate Agent
Turbyfill also serves as the Northwest Regional Director for RealLuxury, a premier luxury real estate section. In this role, she supports top-performing agents while shaping the regional strategy that expands luxury services across key Western markets.
In addition to this leadership position, Turbyfill has several accolades and certifications. She is a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) and a Certified Listing Expert.
Turbyfill is also Certified in Real Estate Negotiation and is a Zillow Premier Agent, certifications that enable her to perform her roles more efficiently and with greater skill.
Currently representing Lofts on Beal, Turbyfill demonstrates a vested interest in Bozeman’s new thoughtfully designed constructions. The condominium development is an exclusive 11-unit development designed with modern, intentional living in mind.
Newly listed, the project combines clean architectural design with elevated finishes, providing a space that is energy-efficient, all-electric, and conveniently located in the town.
Designing, Influencing, and Building the New Era
Bozeman Yards is a significant project for Amelia Turbyfill, and she is approaching it with tenacity and clarity by posting construction updates with a positive attitude.
As Bozeman builds into a new era, Turbyfill can work with clients to influence and shape it. Her strong relationship-building can amplify clients’ voices and needs, helping design developments that suit their lifestyles.
She has one eye focused on her clients and one on the future, and with her skill for combining contradictions, Turbyfill may take Bozeman further in the mountain market.

Music
Zaruflo: For the Joy of Creating Music
Zaruflo is an independent multi-genre music producer. Zaruflo Productions blends hip-hop, R&B, and electronic elements into his unique music. Working on music and his future career as a professional pilot keeps him balanced, driven, and focused.
Zaruflo, also known as Imar Forbes, is an independent, self-made music producer. Zaruflo grew up in the Bronx in New York City. A natural creative, he developed his unique sound through experimentation and learning from other artists. Inspired by Beastboi and HOL!, he explores neo-dubstep, dubstep, hip-hop, R&B, and trap.
“I started making my own music after spending time listening to my favorite artists and thinking, ‘What if I could make my own?’” says Zaruflo.
Music as a Source of Joy
For Zaruflo, making music provides a way to be creative and continue to improve his craft. He’s not interested in music fame or fortune, but makes music for the joy of it. “Growing up in a strict household, I changed my trauma into a superpower instead of sadness and worked to become the best version of myself,” explains Zaruflo. Zaruflo believes that difficult experiences in life can build personal strength and be used as motivation to create and grow.
Creating music provides both a challenge and a way to focus on fun throughout life’s ups and downs. Zaruflo continues to work on building his audience and expanding his listener base. Growth isn’t easy. Zaruflo currently works multiple jobs to support his music and his aviation education.
When independent artists like Zaruflo create, it expresses their unique experiences, struggles, and triumphs. In essence, through music, one can create connections in the world and share experiences in a positive manner.
Dual Goals in Zaruflo’s Journey
Zaruflo is not only a musician but also has a career goal to become a professional pilot. Once a pilot, Zaruflo plans to relax and expand his music through continued creation. Although music will play second fiddle to his Aviation pilot career, Zaruflo plans to continue working to gain more plays on streaming platforms and get noticed by celebrities and influencers. “My pilot career is going to be the biggest accomplishment I’ll ever achieve,” says Zaruflo. “Of course, if I ever become successful off music itself, that would be awesome!”
Future Aspirations and Direction
Zaruflo plans to dedicate himself to completing his aviation education and becoming a professional pilot. Music becomes an important, life-building hobby that brings joy and continual creative challenge. He wants to continue producing music and getting plays on multiple platforms. Achieving over 10,000 plays on a single track remains a secondary goal. The most important goal in music is continuing to learn from other artists and producing music that attracts listeners.
Zaruflo wants the world to hear his music. Knowing that listeners enjoy his creations makes him happy. It’s good to be popular, but for Zaruflo it’s mostly about having fun and enjoying life. Zaruflo’s audience enjoys listening to original music inspired by his Bronx upbringing and experience with a wide variety of genres. He is up for the challenge of attracting new listeners and continues to work on getting his music out to the public. Reaching listeners in a massively competitive market isn’t easy, but it’s possible. If you’re looking for a unique mix of sounds, check out Zaruflo’s music.
