Ron & Lisa Beres

Rainbeau, welcome to the show!

Rainbeau Mars

What you guys are the best hype team every ever I'm bringing you with us. We got to bring you on the tour.

Ron Beres

We had to pare it down, Rainbeau. We had to pare it down for you.

Lisa Beres

As we said at the top of the show you were born in a teepee. Guys, how cool is that? So, I want you to tell us a little more about your birth your upbringing and where your name, Rainbeau Mars was derived.

Rainbeau Mars

As far as being rainbow Mars, being born in a teepee. And being in this moment right now, all I could say is that I'm very grateful to have been surrounded by so many incredible seekers of knowledge and truth and connection to the plants and the earth my whole life. So, but in doing that being born in that environment I didn't necessarily like have to wasn't necessarily my thing to look to natural food or natural medicine. It just was my I actually also lived with my godmother in Hawaii, who's her teacher was Gandhi's ayurvedic doctor who's 140 years old still alive in Harappa. India. My goodness. Yeah. So it was just an you know, it's life is we could say life is what's busy when you're making other plans as john Lennon Was it him that said that, but I, when you are from that there's always a tendency to try to be different and get away from that you're like, wait, I saw I actually was the kid that were very preppy clothes. And, you know, everyone that I brought home, my parents would be like, their hair is so short, they both know, a community based way of being, for sure I have both the good, the bad, and the ugly of that I've had to work through from that free love movement. And I think that at the same time, I think at the end of all, in all of the truth, God wins, love wins. So like love wins. So, I've gone back or I've become more than a hippie than I would probably like to admit. Anyway, that might be a little long one.

Lisa Beres

So, your parents were raised you in a hippie kind of environment, but you were preppy. You said like you were dressed in the preppy clothes.

Unknown Speaker

Well I was born in a commune. But there was that my mom very it was a community is what a commune means. And fact. It's funny because my great uncle founded some of the story that actually makes it interesting is that my great uncle founded a kibbutz in Israel walked from Russia to Israel, 300 of them so lead a kibbutz found.

Ron Beres

What do you say? What is the kibbutz again? What does that mean exactly?

Rainbeau Mars

In Israel, it's like a community of people that are living together off the land. Right. So, they're harvesting things and they have a commodity from those communities. That's it. Those are big ones. Like there was an actually a vice president from our cookbooks as well as an astronaut. So, it's interesting how my mom went to all-girls school for young ladies and was actually raised with like a very upper-class French, oh, my father brought electricity to Central America. So, she so that gives you another example of her being raised kind of feeling stifled. So, she set free to go live with a community of people on a farm. And so, I was born there. I think by the time she had me, she thought, you know, tried to give some I had older sisters have some sense of normalcy. So mostly boulder wasn't fully. I mean, the parties were wild, you know, there's smoke and all sorts of things there was like, you know, I remember just being a young girl going like, Can I should I call the police?

I mean, whatever. I mean, whatever anyone's affiliation, so I think anytime that you can have somebody figured out, I think one of the things that's what I'm learning is you can I for me, it's always everything that I think that I know has to get to a point where I don't know it anymore. And then love wins. And even the things that I thought we're going to give some sense of security like if it's not going to awaken my heart or bring me love or bring me to service with my mission. Or Yeah, and I keep finding that So in a sense, I'd become such a hippie like only my mom would probably allow those types of words or that type of philosophies be not just like supported but to be endorsed. Like my biggest fan so it's beautiful and I feel grateful and my you know, Jason and amazing artists but in in essence, I'm just another person just like any of us trying to figure it out walking we're all walking each other home.

Lisa Beres

I love that - walking each other home.

Ron Beres

I want to go back to the teepee story. So, everyone lives in teepees, or is that just like where you gave birth? There's a teepee or how did that, you didn't give birth your mom did. But, I mean, you know how does that work? And you said, kibbutz.

Unknown Speaker

That was my mom's uncle. So my mom then after getting kicked out of boarding school for smoking pot right before he doesn't like it when I tell the truth, to be honest, we have like little things about this if she listened to this, but so she was in the Virgin Islands, my grandfather had a house in St. Croix. And she he got written to do something, you know, killer. So, she runs away, she joins a group of hippies and she's like, I can cook. And they all she becomes very connected with these group of this community. And they one of them is actually pretty successful. Sergei Mars, he's an artist, they had actually a restaurant in in coconut grove in Miami, and they bought a farm in Missouri and Reynolds, Missouri, where they built a beautiful house with like stained glass. Actually, I don't want to tell you too much of our secret locations, but there was a teepee there on the land. And my mom wanted to be born mom wanted her baby to be born, you know, close to the earth on them. And there was they were my mom was having to change or clean the diapers in the river. And out of bugs. There were snakes she got hit by a Copperhead snake, but learn to craft her own wild edible plants. My mom, you know, people like Yoko Ono would be calling the house. Yeah, Rosemary gladstar. Timothy Leary is actually my sister's godmother. If you guys know my whole lineage of psychedelic tropic educators, so and maybe that's why I jumped ahead when you asked me it's like I can you guys handle that? Like I can we handle the truth? I can barely handle it. So, I don't know that you're different. Not that that's I'm sure there's other people that have had that reality. It's just that that's my.

Lisa Beres

Were you Okay, growing up? Did you feel like I'm different and I'm insecure about that? Or were you just comfortable because that's just who you were and how you were raised. And you all that commune. So, you're around other people like you, right?

Rainbeau Mars

So, no. I mean, and that's where so even though that's where I was born, I think in Boulder, Colorado, it was yes, there were parties like that. And they were funny herbalists like spending the night in our backyard at a teepee. But in our house, it was kind of normal. I think that the abnormal see is that they tried to accept sort of a more open relationship than I think has that I've ever seen workout. And I just I think that was challenging to see, you know? So, in that sense, it was kind of looked normal. It's not like there which I was not like, there were 20 people living in Boulder at my house. I know that that's where I was born. And the parties were always weird. But yeah, I called myself Jennifer Smith. Like if I met people at the mall.

Lisa Beres

Jennifer Smith. That�s hilarious. Like the most normal, the most normal name.

Unknown Speaker

And you know, I wanted my eyes to be green. We always like what we don't have necessarily and I remember I was nominated for homecoming queen actually, because I really did. I was I drop. I was always very conservative. In a way I think that I brought me into a state of and then not boulders, a cool place like boulders. A lot of a lot of the enlightened companies law still seasonings, Gaiam Is there like a lot happening there? And so, I think that it's a bit of a bubble where people are focused on natural health for sure. Like that's what Boulder Colorado is. And they're dressed very much the same, like, very preppy. I would say very conservative, the hip, the parents might be flower children. But the children were all I think we all just tried to fit in. I think we all go through a phase where we're like, can't we just look like everyone else?

Ron Beres

I know you were rebelling. You were rebelling and trying to dress normal.

Rainbeau Mars

Well, I have to tell you this though. I was nominated for homecoming queen and the idea of going around the football field with my dad, with his long hair and his john Lennon glasses This is, but was so mortifying that I could not if I put my reputation at that time, so clearly, I wasn't that confident. Clearly, I did have insecurities. And clearly, it was difficult kind of trying to have I could have definitely had more present mom and dad that had a better sense of morals and ethics. I would say that would be the part that made me a little crazy. But in the good sense. I've had a lot of material to work on. Like, yeah, not been easy by any means. And so that's when it went really well. You just had it all perfectly there where it had its attributes, just like we all have, but there are certain ways that I would want to do it better.

Lisa Beres

Oh, interesting. Yeah, don't we all and we are all working progress. And we are all your it's true, sometimes coming back to the things that we didn't appreciate in our youth. And then like I grew up in Arizona, and I used to think it was so ugly, oh, who would like that desert. It's just so ugly. And we'd go on these drives, and I thought it was so boring. And now as an adult, I go back there and I'm like, Oh, I see the beauty that everybody has to always talk about when they would come to visit. I appreciate the sunsets and the mountains now and the cactus which I used to think were just so boring. I really love them now.

Rainbeau Mars

Where in Arizona.

Lisa Beres

I grew up if you can believe it in Lake Havasu City, little tiny town. Do you know that?

Unknown Speaker

Lake Havasu Of course. Yeah.

Lisa Beres

And then I went to college in Tucson, and then Tempe and then I live in Scottsdale and all that before I moved to California. So, I was kind of all over, Arizona. Thank you so much, Rainbeau.
