Geoff, of the Larden family clan, is also known by his spiritual name, Ranin-Rawa. The Shipibo tribe in the Amazon gave him this name. It means "beautiful skin of the earth, rolling thunder, and lightning." He faced a significant emotional struggle early in life. This led him to develop emotional armor. He fell into a life of alcohol and drugs and got involved in the narcotics business for almost two decades. This path nearly cost him his life due to the emptiness he felt inside.

Geoff realized the need for change. He embraced his inner warrior. He sought psychiatric help and embarked on a spiritual journey. He turned to meditation, yoga, and nature. He also founded an organization dedicated to humanity's service. His most significant achievement was leaving the drug business.

Geoff searched for meaning. That led him to live with the Shipibo tribe in the Amazon. He worked with shamanic plant medicine. He made offerings with the Kogi mammos of Colombia. He also stayed with the Qeros tribe, advisors to the Incan empire, in the Andes. He also spent time with various tribes in Kenya.

He learned key lessons about tribe consciousness. He also learned about reciprocity, gratitude, and respect for all beings and spirits. He embraced singing to trees, playing his flute for the waters, and drumming in the Tipi with his soul family. Geoff lived among ancient tribes. He realized how domesticated and disempowered he felt in his previous life. It prompted him to reclaim his sovereignty.
