The Paradise Movement

The Paradise Movement was born decades ago from the vision of Dr. Carlin. She dreamed of creating a place where people could experience something beyond the virtual—a real, tangible country estate where peace of mind flourishes. Here physical, spiritual, and soulful rejuvenation come together to form Authentic, Wholistic Well-being. This is encapsulated in the acronym AWW, reflecting her desire for people to live in awe of their lives, who they are, and their place in the world. As more people learned about The Paradise Movement and its mission, they discovered the many programs, services, and assets it offered. Recognizing the impact of Dr. Carlin's work and her fascinating family lineage, they suggested the creation of an institute bearing her name. Thus, The Carlin Institute was established.

Invest in Paradise

In the rolling hills of Missouri Wine Country, just upstream from where Lewis and Clark launched their epic journey, we plan to create an extraordinary and lucrative Wellness Retreat where people come to experience not only the beauty of nature but also discover the broad range of unique programs and services that will bring them into a state of Authentic Wholistic Wellbeing (AWW). Our goal is to have each person know the feeling of true AWW as an indication of their health and happiness.

We call this The Paradise Movement for Peace of Mind, and we invite you to join us as Strategic Partners. There are many options for you to select from ranging from becoming a Member to joining our team as a Practitioner to facilitating the acquisition and build-out financially as an Accredited Investor.

The Wellness Market is Surging

The wellness market in the USA exceeds $1.8 trillion, including mental wellness ($181 billion), wellness real estate ($398 billion) , and workplace wellness ($51 billion), according to the Global Wellness Institute. Americans spend $5,321 per capita, on wellness.

Those In Need Wish to Get Away

People are feeling significant anxiety about a loss of control over their life. They seek help away from the glaring lights of workplaces or medical offices. We're creating a unique, isolated retreat to serve them in a quiet, discrete, and safe setting.

Missouri Wine Country is Booming

In the rolling hills surrounding the Missouri river, this wine country is emerging as a Napa rival. Over the past five years, investors have pumped more than $100 million into this area on the western edge of the St. Louis metro area (2.8 million residents). Property values are expected to increase significantly over the next three to five years.

Our Plan


This is an expansive and expensive initiative to influence a major shift in our culture and it requires a team of abundance in numerous ways that include talent and resources.

We invite you to explore our site here and reach out to us to learn more about how you can participate in what is an important initiative, the Paradise Movement, where you will find Peace of Mind.

We plan to:.

  • Purchase an architecturally significant ~35-acre horse farm, surrounded and protected by a Missouri State Park

  • Purchase an extraordinary, ~300-acre property, adjacent to the Missouri River, overlooking wine country

  • Build out the properties so we can deliver our unique, customized services that combine the cutting edge with ancient methods, details of which are provided in further discussions.

  • Agressively market The Carlin Institute and The Paradise Movement within it to tap into the expanding wellness market, serving a massive population in need, generating important life changes for our members, reward for our practitioners, and significant ROI for our investment partners.
