Edward Rubio was born in New Jersey and raised between the coastal plains and mountain foothills of North Carolina and the Blue Ridge Mountains around Asheville, NC. From 2005 to 2019 he traveled extensively, attending psychedelic music festivals across the country and immersing himself in transformative live-music gatherings and close-knit community experiences. He also had the opportunity to have many plant medicine experiences with Lakota tradition, Kogi, and Yage tribes of southern Colombia, and others. It was during this period that the Inner Space Journeys Project began to take shape. In the summer of 2019 Eddie and Alaina Rose met at the Durham Living Arts collective, where Eddie was hosting breathwork meditation journeys accompanied by live electronic sound healing. Alaina soon began collaborating with Eddie on events and co-producing music, deepening their creative partnership. In the fall of 2021, at the height of the COVID pandemic, they relocated to the shores of Lake Atitlán and spent much of their time within the volcanic landscape, sharing their offerings with local and visiting communities. By 2026 Eddie and Alaina decided to move away from the lake in search of cleaner waters and a less contaminated environment, responding to growing health concerns and a desire for greater wellbeing. In the fall of 2026 they arrived at Chirripó, Costa Rica, a land of abundant fresh springs and mountain clarity. They have made this place their new home and creative base, drawing daily inspiration from its pristine natural surroundings.
