Her path of being a Group Facilitator, Community-Oriented Organizer & Event Producer was sparked 25 years ago largely through the nature based cultural youth program called "Rediscovery" & has been applied in many heart'filled ways throughout her life.

Origin Story
of my business
It started as 'living room experiments' in 2015, what would happen if i told folks the truth about Indigenous People i'm afraid to tell them? These were by-donation, evening events where 5-10 of us gathered together in a living room as my co-facilitator & i shared from our hearts, our lived-Indigenous-experiences, the many truths & stories that needed to be heard. It was terrifyingly powerful & healing & very well received.
​
The first 20 or so times i did this, i almost didn't... to be faced with that much loving compassion from the hearts of the people in attendance at these little events was astounding. I remember having mild panic attacks in the backyard before walking into the living room, heart racing with the silence in need of breaking. Trembling through the "this is what you need to know" list we made & arriving on the other side of this stronger, more connected & more empowered in my Indigenous voice. At these events, we would often say "this is so amazing...we need a whole weekend, just an evening isn't enough".
​
A few years into this, i designed the first Weekend Long Deep Dive Intensive Workshop and from there it grew, continues to grow & evolve as the living creation it is.
